not known to be as good as nike or canter.

How much? Nike pro ones go for 40+, not bad. I need another pair for squat day.

I am in for this... if can I want the top also.

if the price is right i dun mind getting

me too..if the price is right..but i want the long tights and long tops

hahaha....Like the show The Price is right.....U won a can of coke... ding ding ding

what's the benefits of having tights other then showing your protruding package

lol damn confortable? you feel like you're doing stuff in ur own skin lo lol.

we use in tris cos cannot bike in trunks ma

No abrasion, and much higher freedom of movement. The fabric of your shorts won't be pulled by your knees/balls/etc. For me, great for squats and running mostly. Of course if you have chicken legs, this won't be a problem.

the skins will allow your sweat to evaporate faster(for the cooling suits)...this will reduce body temperature fast thus promoting recovery...the tightness of the suits will slow serve as a compression...during exercises, our body is subject to microtrauma tear thus micro bleeding will occur...the compression suit will slow down this swelling process ...for after game...the the region of different pressure in your body will cause different pressure which will then cause better blood circulation..hence promoting the easing of DOMs.

the pioneer for this if i am not wrong is Underarmour but the coolest looking one is Skins...buying online is damn expensive...maybe if we have someone who stay in Australia, he can ship for us...i heard in Australia is damn cheap..

still quite exp my friend. been there, checked it out.
theres a lot more brands in aust, and skins is alr one of the cheapest there.
i'd get underarmour if you want to order online.

serious...

i never had one...it is a luxury items..man...for the same price..i rather splurge on kettlebells...

but again..it is good to indulge on for vanity ...they say that dressing to the occasion will make you super onz...!

Personally I don't know if I buy the compression argument. Temperature reducing? Maybe, but I don't think I've ever been in a situation where my body temp is so hot that I couldn't perform...the last 300 was close though...

well, we haven't had 40 degree heat waves lol
38 and we're already complaining we're melting.

Anyway i want the compression Tee for O lifting and front squatting.
singlet doesn't cut it plus its quite a hindrance.

like what Goi said, great for cleans and squats.. it is also said that tights hold your muscles in place so that they don't 'bounce' around as much, reducing muscle fatigue.. how true i don't know.

i might be interested also dependent on price

I generally don't like those spandex/dri-fit material when front squatting. Cotton is great for me - more grip and doesn't tear as easily.

Guys, I'm the guy who is conducting the MO. If we can get 10 ~ 20 interested buyers than maybe we're looking at the price range of $70 - $85 max. I have a MO thread at KR forum and HWZ forum but doesn't seems to have many interested buyers.

70-85 is top + bottom or bottom only ?

Bottom only. I suppose SKINS is very good for recovery. Have few friends in rugby all wearing it. I just tried to purchase it through their online store and it cost $127.91 Aussie Dollar.

honestly 70 to 85 for bottoms only is expensive. Might as well get NIKE.

Sorry man, i am out if its this expensive.

i wouldnt sae $70 is expensive.... I would say medium pricing...other brands are above $100 except for tt nike tights....

Any pricing on the top??

Well, since I can get Nike tights for $45, I don't see why I would get these Skins...

I always thought these sort of shorts were cheap, US$25-30, e.g.:

Note to Bryan: please note the term "liner" shorts (means it's worn under something else...)

Are Skins some AIS (Australian Institute of Sports) research product?

The website (http://www.skins.net/us/en/Products/Bio ... logy/sport) has the half tights at AUD$80 and the long tights at AUD$140.

You really think your performance improvement is double or triple that of a US$25-30 tight?

You big wuss, I used to just bike+run in my speedos (in competition of course, in training I'd take the time to wear some bike shorts...).
