(www.skins.com.au) and stiffness, but it's crazy to try and go all-out at first. I think I saw an ad for these skins, or some similar product, in Ski magazine. Or maybe it was just part of an article. I wonder if they accept orders from the US. yes, the US site (www.skinsusa.com) mirrors straight to the Australian site. Tehy wre developed in Australia with help from Penn State University in the US, but oddly, it all seems to be coming from the Australian end. Our footballers wear them for training so less recovery period needed, ditto teh cricketers. You also wear them on long haul plane flights to deal with deep vein thrombosis. ah ha, I just checked, the US site is now working. It bears an eerie resemblance to the Australian one, but they have stuck a US flag on it!!!!! http://www.skinsusa.com/ Rather funny. The talking head is our cricket captain. Do they work essentially as a long john bottom, or are they much warmer? How does that work? I usually wear synthetic or silk LJ bottoms, cycling stretch pants (not compression, just a form-fitted layer), and then a goretex shell. They are not all that thermal, although I found them very hot on the plane. They aren't meant to be thermal. They compress the legs cutting down the release of lactic acid. The effect is amazing, I would be very unhappy to commence skiing after a few months' break now without them, as I'd be in stiffness and pain for over a week. With my Skins, there's no noticeable ill effects at all. ant |
