Skins Unisex Essentials Compression Tights for Girls, Clothing, Socks, and Tights Review

Compression is good, but "skins" letters broke in the first month. They obviously made a weak point when they burned or sewed letters there. Too bad

They are good and I have used them for long runs. Ultimately, however, they offer too little compression for thin calves. I will keep them for use with other items but will switch to a different brand or design for future calf sleeve purchases in the future.

I have a part time job that requires me to stand all day and I bought a pair of compression leggings to help with that. I love leggings, but I also like to wear real pants or jeans every once in a while, and these babes let me do that. They provide more pressure than my compression stockings and keep me on my feet for 8 hours.

Bought these and 2xu shin pads. Prefer these as the compression is more but no less comfortable and they have a bit more coverage (higher). The fabric is thicker and feels more durable. They weigh twice as much as the 2xu Guards but still only weigh 30 grams each. They also have more stretch making them much easier to put on and take off than 2xu Guards.

I've had constant calf problems this season, I'm using K Tape plus this tension and my riding pleasure is back. I wear it every day for my daily commute of 50-60 miles a day. Supports blood flow to the muscles and gives me confidence in my training. Order one size down for a very snug yet comfortable fit. If you have lower leg problems, buy a Skins compression sleeve. I've tried them all and the skins are absolutely the best of them all.

I have slightly skinny calves and was concerned about finding something snug enough to improve circulation or not. They stay tight even after multiple washes (although I do let mine air dry). I liked them so much I bought a pair for my fiance because he split his shins while running and jumping rope in CrossFit. He wore them continuously for two or three weeks and his shin splints healed and did not come back for several months.

On heavy calf training cycles they really help me reduce the stress on my connective tissues. Maybe it's the mentality, but they're also great for running on the treadmill while I adjust to big calves. I put them on early, warm them up, and then leave them on for about 30 minutes. Although it's psychological, my weight has been increasing, so don't worry ;) It's not the tight compression garments people think of as strength training, just useful for mere mortals. If you are on the lower end of…

To be honest they are 10 times more compressible than the cheaper sonic welded version which only has the skin printed on the side. I got them from the UK because they are hard to find in the US. I have used (and still use occasionally) 2XU, Zensah, CEP and they are by far the best. If you can handle the wait and are patient, you will love them. High quality with stitched edges, fit like a champ and stylish. I even bought a pair of their hand warmers/compression sleeves with the same form…

Good product but small, material thinner than requested, had to return. I play basketball, runners may need a different/closer fit and will obviously appreciate the light weight. BUT they were too tight. I am 6ft 4in calf 16.5in/42cm which according to their size chart is the middle of the LARGE. They were difficult to put on and literally within 5 minutes my toes were tingling from circulatory issues. By the way, they are of good quality and look good. anyway: I wanted something…

Good product but small, material was thinner than expected, had to return. BUT they were too tight. I am 6ft 4in calf 16.5in / 42cm tall which according to their size chart is the middle of the LARGE. They were difficult to put on and literally within 5 minutes my toes were tingling due to poor circulation. By the way, they are of good quality and look good. nevertheless: I wanted something more massive/somewhat thicker material. I'm looking for support, but also muscle warmth. So instead of…
