They say: Skins™ travel & recovery are body-moulded compression tights, with built-in BioAcceleration Technology™. They provide engineered gradient compression for your lower body, maintaining healthy circulation and minimising swelling and dehydration – the primary cause of jetlag – during forced periods of inactivity.
Skins™ travel & recovery regulate your body temperature – they breathe, wick perspiration away from your skin and are sanitised. Pull Skins™ travel & recovery on under your clothing before you travel and leave them on until after you arrive at your destination. You’ll be surprised at just how much better you feel after your journey.
Skins™ travel & recovery are also great to wear throughout the day and to bed to assist recovery and reduce the symptoms of tired, aching legs.
We say: If they're good enough for Lote Tuqiri then we like them too. Unlike most compression garments, the pressure is applied to specific body parts as opposed to an overall sucking affect. Tried them out on the RyanAir flight to Tours Loire Valley from London Stanstead and my legs felt as fresh as ever. OK, so it might not be long-haul, but I certainly caught the eye of one rather nice looking Gendarme through passport check-in.
