Just popped onto the SKINS website and came across their up to 80% off sale. A few examples -

Mens Long Tights various colours $39.99
Mens Half Tights various colours $29.99
Mens Long Sleeved tops various colours $29.99
Mens Short Sleeved tops various colours $19.99
Mens Sleeveless tops various colours $19.99 (Originally $9.99)

The Ladies section seems to be very limited in sizes, only had XL in what I was interested in hence ended up buying Mens XS in what I was after.

Youth items are also on sale.

Free postage too…enjoy!

      God wears compression gear?

      That must be in the Book of Repetitions…

  • shaybisc on 08/02/2012 - 10:33

    What benefits do you think you are getting from wearing compression sportswear?

      Seriously though, reduced muscle soreness and increased recovery time is what I actually experience.
      I do not wear the items during exercise, I wear them under normal clothes after playing.
      My ageing body normally complains (in the form of sore muscles) for a few days after playing, but I find the soreness is either reduced significantly, or eliminated altogether when I remember to take my compression gear.

      I believe the theory is that the compression squeezes the blood out of your capillaries, thereby assisting the body to remove lactic acid buildup from muscles and therefore reducing the amount of muscle damage and as a side effect reducing muscle soreness.

      • insular on 08/02/2012 - 15:07

        i agree and experience the same, it's no marketing bs. i run a little and get no sore calfs the next day with tights, i ran once without them and was sore for a few days. they are win, but sadly out of stock.

    • grimreeper on 08/02/2012 - 11:50

      Improved blood flow should in theory mean better performance during exercise. However I think they are more commonly used for recovery, reducing the severity of DOMS aka exercise induced muscle damage (EIMD)

    Nice prices , no more 'S'izes :(

  • aurotaro on 08/02/2012 - 10:52

    Bought a couple of the sleeveless top. At $10 they are I guess cheaper than some of the generic Target and Big Ws…

  • Peekay on 08/02/2012 - 11:22

    Got to the website late but think I've managed to score a pair of the half tights (checkout is taking ages though).

    Cheers!

    I got to the checkout page and it died there in my hands. Sigh.

  • Reckin on 08/02/2012 - 12:10

    Yup same on checkout page…..

    awesome time to fail hahah

  • ryanb on 08/02/2012 - 12:12

    Great deal, but after 100's of attempts to get into the site, I managed to get through only to find they have limited sizes left. There are no 'M' for males and no 'M' for female pants. I haven't bothered to check mens or womens tops. Brilliant prices though.

      grr, i had an M in my cart when it died!

  • ebayaddict on 08/02/2012 - 12:14

    great deal! thanks for the post. just got some half tights, was hoping for some long ones too but none in my size. i found i couldn't even get to the checkout in firefox, but IE worked better. be patient, it took around 15 minutes to submit order information before the paypal screen came up.

  • engineeringprof on 08/02/2012 - 12:17

    For those want an update, I just purchased a few items, all went through. Just be patient (paid by paypal).

    • ronyronron on 08/02/2012 - 12:21

      Same same, it took a while and a few reloads but it got there in the end.

    • dy4me on 08/02/2012 - 12:21

      no piont if the only size left is xl

  • Reckin on 08/02/2012 - 12:20

    Was finally able to get thru as well

  • tshep on 08/02/2012 - 12:24

    Got through to submitting payment method before it seized up completely, no doubt by the time I get it to work the items I want will be gone..

    Might be lucky as it seems everyone is a medium or a small or here and i'm a large.. nobody touch the LDL full lengths please ;D

  • SuperJew on 08/02/2012 - 12:30

    do they have size 7X?

    man, it was perfectly fine at 8:25am WST now its fullyeee borked :(

  • skatoz on 08/02/2012 - 12:50

    Can someone explain technically what kind of traffic brings a site like that down? How many people would have seen this deal and want to buy SKINS? I guess it is not like hundreds of thousands of requests are hitting it every second. Are we talking tens or hundreds of requests per second? Is it usually in the server's CPU speed, low memory or internet bandwidth?

  • Moots on 08/02/2012 - 12:53

    Really simple.

    Use a PROXY to access the website…

    Direct Link to the shop by Proxy: http://jsproxy.com/search.php?u=6cc4a6b81f55a0bce7Oi8vc3Rvcm…

    • eug on 08/02/2012 - 12:55

      If a site is down, it's down.

    • zhou on 08/02/2012 - 13:15

      I take it it wouldnt be secure to check out via proxy would it?

    • eug on 08/02/2012 - 13:31
      +10

      Are you a troll or simply ignorant?

      When a site gets ozbargained, it runs out of resources to serve any more requests - regardless of where you try to access it from. When it really was down, I checked with isup.me and a US VPN - both didn't work.

      The store works directly now - probably because all the common sizes are sold out.

      If you want to be arrogant, you should make sure you know what you're talking about first.

        • eug on 08/02/2012 - 13:45

          OK, you're a troll.

        • SkinsIT on 08/02/2012 - 13:45
          +11

          actually eug is right.
          our store is hosted in one place, hong kong.
          so no matter where you are coming from, if it's down, it's down.

        • engineeringprof on 08/02/2012 - 13:48

          Hey SkinsIT
          Can you tell us how long it will be till you get the store checkout working?
          Thanks

          hey engineeringprof

          just posted down the bottom, but the checkout is still working (we are receiving orders), it will just take a bit of perseverance to finalise your sale.

          once the traffic dies down, it should be fast again.

          thanks

          Thanks to SkinsIT for coming to OzBargain to explain the situation.

          OzBargain was down for 8 hours this morning. Looks like it is back online doing its business to bring down other websites :)

        • kirasuran on 08/02/2012 - 14:42

          the real question scotty, is who brought down ozbargain ?

        • scotty on 08/02/2012 - 16:11

          Posted on the blog this morning:

          http://blog.ozbargain.com.au/2012/status-down-8-february-201…

          Basically the hosting provider had some issues from the maintenance last night.

  • zhou on 08/02/2012 - 13:06

    ah. all the M's are sold out for the ones I wanted. The one day I sleep in.

    • Funky Moose on 08/02/2012 - 13:22

      Barely warm at all. Wind goes right through them. If you want something to keep you warm get the thermal skins that are meant for cold weather activities like snowboarding.

    • superklue on 08/02/2012 - 13:27

      Yeah they aren't amazing for keeping you warm.

    • drexxx on 08/02/2012 - 13:31

    • StopSpending on 08/02/2012 - 13:35

      I actually feel colder wearing them compared with not wearing anything - especially with a bit of wind. Probably because it wicks the sweat away.

      • ESEMCE on 08/02/2012 - 16:51

        Ditto..
        The effect of squeezing blood out of the surface flesh probably also contributes to the coolness feeling.

  • stueyh on 08/02/2012 - 13:20

    crap, went thru the whole thing, into the cart and 1 page away from purchase before it crashed!

    so sorry about this everybody, we literally got 'ozbargained'.
    we are doing everything that we can, but it may be flaky for a while.
    we are in the process of moving our servers from Hong Kong to the US in the next month or two, then hopefully all will be smooth for the next sale.
    please keep trying, we still have heaps of stock of most things.

    thanks

    • superklue on 08/02/2012 - 13:51

      Are you planning on honouring the prices advertised in our shopping carts if the stock runs out? I'm sure that would make a lot of people around here feel better.

      • sparkles on 08/02/2012 - 14:00

        How can they? If stock runs out they have no stock to honour the price on…..????

      • SkinsIT on 08/02/2012 - 14:04

        sale items are all EOL (end of line), so if the stock runs out, we won't ever have it again in AU.
        please keep trying to order, we have people all around the world working on it.

        contact [email protected] if you have any further enquiries.

        • unco on 08/02/2012 - 14:06

          Can we email orders through if we provide our Skins account name?
          I've been stuck with my items in the cart and can't get past the "Proceed to checkout" button.

        • sparkles on 08/02/2012 - 14:07

          Can I submit an order manually over that email address LOL……

          ….actually, can I?

        • SkinsIT on 08/02/2012 - 14:16

          sorry guys, all has to be done on the site otherwise we will over sell on some items.
          keep trying!

    Could everyone please go back to work and get out of their site - so that I can complete my order!

  • mitch88 on 08/02/2012 - 13:58

    Its super frustrating when you have a cart with 5 items and then you lose it all…. Almost ready to throw in the towel.

    • unco on 08/02/2012 - 14:27

      Agreed.. I had 6 items, readding them in now and it's going alright.. maybe it's just the checkout page that's the wall!

      • superklue on 08/02/2012 - 14:29

        Ya, i got stuck at that wall for 45 mins before losing the cart. Now i'm struggling to add anything.

        • SkinsIT on 08/02/2012 - 14:35

          again guys, sorry about the frustrating nature of this!
          we are basically having to open up windows of time where people can get their orders done and then checkout.
          my advice at this point is, if you can add something to the cart, do it as quickly as possible and be ready with your payment.

  • zhou on 08/02/2012 - 14:30

    went to try checkout again, get to basket page but it said:
    * Some of the products are currently out of stock

    … tried to checkout anyway cept its timing out again.

    I give up.
