Skins A400 Gold Donna Compression Shorts - AW16 94291076

Product Details
A Foreword on Compression
With the new A400 range Skins have reinvented technology, they invented. Producing an innovative technical garment worthy of succeeding its predecessor. The science behind the development of the A400 is of a meticulous nature, ensuring every component works in unison to create one superior, performance enhancing piece. Skins have woven together graduated compression, body wrapping and temperature regulation to ensure every individual muscle group has the correct level of compression, support and thermal regulation to perform within an optimum boundary. The result of compression is an increase in blood flow, through this simple attribute Skins garments can deliver a greater oxygen supply to the muscles in a shorter space of time. The encapsulating fit also eliminates vibration feedback, adding up to a garment that delays the onset of fatigue and lactic acid build up through increased blood flow, yielding improved performance, protection against injury and improved recovery. If your looking to evolve your training, compression gear is the next step and skins have got your covered.
The Skins A400 Gold Donna Compression Shorts
Building upon the technology of its predecessor the Skins A400 Gold Donna Compression Shorts are a formidable piece of kit for any athlete no matter their discipline. Through various studies, scientific endeavour and painstaking design, Skins have re-engineered their compression technology creating the mother of all precision fits, ensuring that through every degree of motion the garment excels at its purpose. Not all muscles are made equal in the body, thus the compression needs of set muscles differ to unleash optimum performance when active. Developed with Skins dynamic gradient compression technology, the A400 range ensures compression levels are optimised for activity and motion. The new construction delivers the most precise compression possible. Applying greater pressure to muscles furthest from the heart, forcing blood back more efficiently.
Every detail has been carefully considered against the design of the A400, being engineered to closely follow the human form. Keeping in line with such technical precision, the A400 follows the natural lines of muscles and tendons with complete accuracy. Wrapping the muscles in such a way delivers focused compression on the muscle belly where its needed most; equipping you with the tools you need to improve your performance. whilst bio-mechanically placed seams act as an anchor point, offering focused stability and support for the major muscles. A branching benefit of muscle wrapping is the removal of muscle vibration, which is a cause of exercise induced muscle damage and post work out soreness. Therefore the garment assists with reducing the risk of potential injury.
Staying with injury most sport will involve running, fast reaction and explosive force making injury prevention high in the list of an active athlete. The lliotibial band (ITB) and ITB muscles are particularly at high risk of injury when running, the garment combats this by reducing pressure whilst ensuring natural function is retained. The result is a garment that protects your inner bio mechanics when pushing at your peak, so you can push beyond your boundaries and conquer.
When training and performing at your peak, heat and perspiration are generated which can cause discomfort and loss of focus. To combat this assault on pure performance the Skins A400 employ an innovative technology, ADAPTIVE by HeiQ; at low temperatures, the unique polymer binds moisture within its structure keeping you feeling warm and dry. As your temperature increases the technological marvel adapts and changes its properties, releasing stored moisture to the surface where it evaporates, creating a more natural way of cooling.
Such a level of acute detail, design and construction requires a fibre that can keep up with the technical adaptable demand of the A400. Enter a blend of Memory MX and Warp Knit technologies. Warp Knit utilises multiple fine quality yarns to give superior performance. Skins have integrated their own mix of elastane to deliver the perfect mix of elasticity and consistently provide perfectly controlled compression at all times. This blend of materials also ensures that your skins garments always return their original tension and shapes, you can be safe knowing your skins will always be ready when you are.
Joining the intricate seams to create one smooth piece of construction, the A400 specifically employ A-Seam construction. specially developed they boast a 30% strength gain over traditional methods, whilst sitting flat against the body, offering complete comfort and durability without chafing.
Wrapping up the Skins Skins A400 Gold Donna Compression Shorts is 360 reflectivity. By day a sleek looking graphic and by night the premium reflective glass bead technology comes alive, increasing visibility in low level lighting. The final protective touch comes from a massive 50+ UV protection; letting you train in heat of day without facing the issue of sun burn.
To summarise the Skins A400 Gold Donna Compression Shorts Are an exquisitely engineered piece of kit, boasting a range of innovative technologies and well though out design aspects; Delivering a technically advanced garment that will equip you to go beyond your performance barriers and gain the competitive edge over the competition. Welcome to the A400.
