SKINS RY400 WOMEN’S COMPRESSION LONG TIGHTS FOR RECOVERY

SKINS RY400 WOMEN’S COMPRESSION LONG TIGHTS FOR RECOVERY SKINS’ specializes in all things compression, which was evident from the moment we pulled these on. Unlike other compression tights, these don’t make you feel like a stuffed sausage. In fact, our multisport editor said that these almost didn’t feel like recovery tights at all. The tights provided plenty of flexibility, and the material was breathable and comfortable for long periods of time. She was more than happy to wear them for hours, which is good since SKINS recommends the wearer keep the tights on for at least 3 hours to maximize recovery. In fact, SKINS says you can even wear these to bed to speed up your body’s natural recovery process. The Tech Composed of 76% Nylon and 24% Spandex, the RY400 is warp knitted. Common in sportswear, warp knitting offers a more durable fabric (less susceptible to runs) and provides no natural stretch. Instead, the spandex/nylon mix provides specific levels of elasticity and controlled compression. The RY400’s fabric also contains Memory MX—a unique high-stretch elastomeric yarn. This fabric technology ensures that the tights return to their original shape no matter how much stress you put them under.
