    Thanks

  • jez22333 on 16/09/2011 - 16:00

    awesome bargain! thanks dude.

  • Timski on 16/09/2011 - 16:18

    Oh man - Cheap!

    Mustn't… spend… money.

  • BuyoTheCat on 16/09/2011 - 16:18

    Nice.
    unfortunately, I have more of these stuff that I can use.

    Thanks just bought some white tights which were even cheaper than the 1-day camo ones I ordered the other day.

  • Bris123 on 16/09/2011 - 16:29

    Thanks, Just got one

  • aec on 16/09/2011 - 16:51

    what is the defference between "sport" and "ice"? ice is much cheaper and looks cool.

    • jamessyc on 16/09/2011 - 16:59

      looks like "ice" gives you a cooling effect by "releasing cooling microcapsules of a menthol substance while you exercise"

      • aec on 16/09/2011 - 17:06

        i know. just not sure if the quality is same as the classic ones.

        • KLoNe on 16/09/2011 - 17:12
          +3

          Exactly the same - black just sells more so they've got less of a discount.

        • aec on 16/09/2011 - 17:28

          Thanks, KLoNe.
          i ordered the ice half tight, sport short sleev top (royal blue) for myself and an ultra short for she so she can wear normal shorts outside.

      • aec on 16/09/2011 - 17:30

        thanks james. it is all your fault. after so many times "tempted", now i make the first order for the compressions :P

  • Funky Moose on 16/09/2011 - 17:24

  • diamondtouch1 on 16/09/2011 - 17:26

    cheers, just got a pair of snow thermal tops and ice bottoms. Hopefully these are comparable in quality to the 2xu stuff. The top and bottom for $99 are bloody good quality, especially the elite ones.

  • Mugz on 16/09/2011 - 17:33

    Thanks OP! Cheapest compression gear I've ever purchased, especially with the extra 10% off. Legend

  • imperium on 16/09/2011 - 17:47

    cheers. Always been too cheap to buy, but at this price…

  • powerhammer on 16/09/2011 - 17:55

    Nice deal, but I buy my skins cheaper from here: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/SearchResults.aspx?Search…

    It's a UK site and postage is extra (min $8.25) unless you spend over their threshold. Just thought this might be worth it for someone who doesn't mind waiting around a week for shipping from the UK.

    • furic7 on 16/09/2011 - 23:52

      took a look there, doesnt have much choices on size and color for the clearance produce…
      it's good if u wear XS or XL and dont mind the color…

    • lonewolf on 19/09/2011 - 17:46

      awesome, i was looking for a international website. I was told many times they are much cheaper than buying skins in AU even though Skins is an AU brand (as far as i know), go figure. Shame it was like 4 days after i had already ordered a skins product :(, paid about 45$ more than it would have been to order and ship it to me from that site you listed.

  • HS10 on 16/09/2011 - 18:13

    Cheers OP got myself some ICE long tights:D

  • insty on 16/09/2011 - 18:34

    Shorts + Top ordered. Perfect for the gym :)

    • aec on 17/09/2011 - 09:31

      neg him? what is the problem if insty ordered for gym? let me revert it.

  • jok3r on 16/09/2011 - 19:30

    Great find. Already own a black pair, so i bought myself a pair of ICE long tights!

  • phi_AU on 16/09/2011 - 19:31

    From experience, the compression shorts aren't worth it and the half tights are much better.
    Great deal.

  • snappy1234 on 16/09/2011 - 19:31

    Interesting that the store is coming up as swiss based (ch)when you buy :S

    thanks to o.p.

    • POWERevolution on 16/09/2011 - 21:48

      Hmmmmm they're so cheap…The server is in Hong Kong

  • kati on 16/09/2011 - 20:48

    Great bargain! I am now $70 poorer. Picked up a pair of capri tights and a top.
    Thanks to the OP…

  • POWERevolution on 16/09/2011 - 20:51

    How is skins' quality compare to 2xu?

    • Purt on 16/09/2011 - 21:10
      +1

      They're about the same. I put 2xu as better quality but only just.

      I've gone through alot of brands of compression garments and I've given up, I've found that they don't actually do anything… Infact my muscles feel better if I don't wear them. Anyway just my experience.

  • Radar on 16/09/2011 - 20:56

    Thanks OP, I'll give these a try for MX riding.

  • Aang on 16/09/2011 - 21:13

    Might give these a try if they are only a bit better than 2xu.

  • escusemay on 16/09/2011 - 21:16

    Thanks OP. Hopefully these help in the Brisbane - Gold Coast 100km bike ride

  • phulli3 on 16/09/2011 - 21:45

    awesome deal..bought ice long compressions and also long sleeve

  • Damo on 16/09/2011 - 21:59

    Firstly Skins brand (although they are great compression wise) look terrible with the yellow stripe!
    Secondly, please for thelove of god wear shorts with yor skins - gross!

    • Radar on 16/09/2011 - 22:06
      +1

      I prefer to not wear shorts over them, and then put one foot up on the gym equipment while I have a good scratch and make adjustments.
      For a greater effect shove a potato down there… just make sure you don't put it at the back.

      • snappy1234 on 16/09/2011 - 22:16
        +11

        Does the potato need to be cooked or raw ?
        (sorry never worn compression gear before)

        • sheepy on 16/09/2011 - 23:35

          Seriously, do you need to wear underwear underneath?

        • diamondtouch1 on 16/09/2011 - 23:37

          any, just make sure you wash it first

        • sheepy on 16/09/2011 - 23:58

          Cool, thanks.
          Ordered a top & shorts.
          Now I just need to get some potatoes!

        • eddieaus on 17/09/2011 - 00:07

          no need for potato, just put your footy socks down there, lol

        • diamondtouch1 on 17/09/2011 - 00:08

          lol i still wear underwear, but again, like the potatoes, personal preference

  • JeCCo on 16/09/2011 - 22:23

    exactly what I look forward for ages!!!
    10% off after 50%… damn great!!!

      @(&^%(#@&%&#$

      I wish the poster put the expiry date. "while supplies last" sounds like the sale will go on as long as there's stock.

      • jamessyc on 17/09/2011 - 12:16

        "while supplies last" was what i received in the email. They did not specify an expiry date.

        • eug on 17/09/2011 - 13:37

          must have been a strange glitch or mistake, since it went back on sale shortly after. thanks!

  • Harold Halfprice on 17/09/2011 - 00:13

    youve got to be kidding me, just as im adding them to the cart they change the prices back! :(

    • Harold Halfprice on 17/09/2011 - 01:32

      YES! theyre back to half price! snapped up a pair of shorts and a sleeveless top :)

    • tryonthis on 17/09/2011 - 12:01

  • kiriakoz on 17/09/2011 - 01:53

    Would anyone recommend this for squash? Would I be as agile as I was previously?

    I find I get sore even 1-2 days after my game

    • kirasuran on 17/09/2011 - 15:42

      you'd get used to it. having said that i wear these for soccer and i've used it for prob 2 years now. and when i decide to play without wearing any, i feel a fair bit 'free-er' . but it doesn't make me play worse or anything.

    • h4lcyon on 17/09/2011 - 18:51

      I love that feeling, not injury pain, just the general stiffness from exercise…

      If it gets too much buy yourself a foam roller, the best $20 you can spend ;)

  • Stryke on 20/09/2011 - 19:53

    Bought the powersleves, hopefully it will be better than the crappy elbow brace for my tennis elbow. As I will only wear one, hopefully I will have twice the usage from the pair!

  • benjamin on 21/09/2011 - 16:34

    Wow these things are comfortable. Can you swim in them?

    • benjamin on 21/09/2011 - 16:43

      Answered my own question: Chlorinated water can have a deteriorating effect on SKINS fabric, so we advise against wearing your SKINS in the pool. But seawater is fine. Just give your SKINS a good rinse with freshwater afterwards.

      SKINS dry out quickly and have a UVP of 50+, so they’re great at blocking out the sun. The only thing you might notice is that the gradient compression doesn’t work quite as well when you’re submerged.

  • Greazy Baush on 22/09/2011 - 09:06

    Too slow. only XXL left.

    • inaudable on 22/09/2011 - 09:34

      I cant see any sizes, all dropdown boxes say, Choose an Option

      • Domingo on 22/09/2011 - 11:52

        Same deal, I wonder if its a mistake - they have only recently added the cycling stuff, but the only dropdown is "Choose an option…"

  • WaterDragon on 22/09/2011 - 10:07

    Just received delivery from Skins. The ICE series is made of similar material as SPORTS series, and it includes an extra iceBOOST Coolant Spray to spray on Skins wear every 10 washes …

    • kirasuran on 22/09/2011 - 13:26

      opened my post satchel and saw a can drop out..i thought 'wtf' ?

  • kati on 22/09/2011 - 10:53

    Hmm haven't received mine yet though I also ordered on Friday like most of you. Hope it hasn't been nicked from outside my place… :/

    • eddieaus on 22/09/2011 - 11:17

      haven't received mine either, ordered on friday night :(

      • HS10 on 22/09/2011 - 11:47

        I received an email from them saying that mine was only sent out yesterday due to so many people ordering.. I ordered on Fridayalso

      • eddieaus on 22/09/2011 - 14:44

        oops, express post came at lunch time. shorts are really tight o.O

  • the_pharmacist on 22/09/2011 - 11:23
    -2

    Received mine today (ordered on 16th)

    Got two shorts (black and white), box is not sealed, white shorts came with tag and mini cd, black shorts came with no tags and no cd, probably second hand products.

    Advisable to wash before use.

    • WaterDragon on 22/09/2011 - 11:57
      +2

      All items from my order came with box and mini CD. Since we are buying direct from Skins, so it is unlikely to be 2nd hand?? Possibly one from display / demo??

      Anyway, it is always good to wash any inner layer clothing before wearing for first time(i.e. underwear, singlet, including Skins products), as they have direct contact to your "real skin" :P

      • kirasuran on 22/09/2011 - 13:26

        it'd be super dodgy of them to stick tags and CDs onto used products…

        • Domingo on 22/09/2011 - 13:28
          +4

          I seriously doubt they are doing that. They have a pretty good brand reputation, they wouldn't ship used goods as new and risk hurting that.

    • eddieaus on 22/09/2011 - 14:50

      my shorts and top didn't come with any CDs or tags.

    • Dee on 23/09/2011 - 05:45

      Mine arrived all with tags and boxes, but not in their boxes and boxes were flattened. My guess is to save on shipping.

  • andrewm71 on 22/09/2011 - 17:28

    I seem to have underestimated my 'tubbiness' and bought the XXL white tights instead of the somewhat slender LL tights… Sure I read it right first time online but the box has a different scale.

    Anyone male in Melbourne who has the opposite problem let me know and we might be able to sort something out. I have not tried them on. Cheers

  • insular on 22/09/2011 - 18:41

    can someone tell me reliably whether the ICE series is just marketing bullshit or does it actually help?

    • eug on 22/09/2011 - 20:21
      +2

      I just tried it on. I doubt it'll actually help your performance, but it's an interesting tingly menthol-like feeling.

      Oh, your naughty bits might tingle a bit too. Don't forget those shorts or you might get arrested.

      • [Deactivated] on 22/09/2011 - 20:27

        Yep. Definitely works. Didn't expect anything, but jogging a few kms on treadmill, your 'bits' and then thighs really start to get cold (or sensation of cold). So much so i think i'll keep my ice ones for summer exercise. Feeling is a little odd.

      • kirasuran on 23/09/2011 - 01:38

        i smelt my pair of ICE , and got a whiff of menthol…so really, i think it's just like rubbing this:

        http://www.sportstrap.com.au/products/Mentholatum-Ice-Gel.ht…

        all over your legs and then going running.

        won't really cool you down (at all) but will make you FEEL cooler

  • snappy1234 on 22/09/2011 - 21:57

    My skins arrived today…ordered 16th but dated 17th on paperwork with picking late on 20th so dispatch 21st
    bit confusing when no email sent- but happy to discover the uncooked potato is better than cooked (wool from socks were too itchy)

    Went for ice due to value too

    • eddieaus on 23/09/2011 - 01:20

      lol, no way you could stuff a potato there, not much room at all.
