    What do you think of SKINS?

    For those of you who do not know what skins are, they are a huge trend going round throughout sporting teams. They are worn underneath your shorts and supposedly help you preform to a higher standard and keep you warm. A few of my mates have bought a pair, some of diffrent brand (cheaper ) I just wanted to know what you guys thought about them or those of you that have them do you recommend them?

    Below is the address to the skins website
    www.skins.com.au/2006/

    Thanks

    It rubs the lotion on it's skin or else it gets the hose again...


    Haven't used this latest tech but I used to wear compression shorts when it was cold and they helped alot. I can only imagine the technology has improved in 10 years.

    If you can afford the official skins they are well worth it. I am pretty sure the short skins go for $80. Cantebury also offer a simular product as well as nike and adidas.

    I cannot view your link (ppc) but I'm assuming they are similar to Under Armour made by Reebok I believe. Many of the pro athletes wear them here.

    Well, in London I managed to go to LillyWhites (a huge sports store around 6 stories high) and right at the top i found "Nike Pro Compression shorts" on sale from 25 pounds on a 50% sale from 12.50 pounds!!! I tried them out yesterday at practise and they really do keep you warm! Great buy
