compression wear for badminton

You can try to have it changed. Just make sure the tags are not spoilt. They can reattach the tags back to the product.

 

I received my order from Skins yesterday (Thursday) and tried the Travel/Recovery Skin already.

From Saturday to Wednesday, after playing against Howard and about 20 other matches in total, I was quite sore. Thursday, I was still a good bit sore. Instead of playing, I wore the Travel/Recovery Skin, slept about 4 hours. I woke up a few hours ago and the pain in my legs were gone! ...

A darn good first impression. More as I know it...

Thanks Ants!

 

You are Welcome. I did recomend the good stuffs didnt i? Glad that you liked it.

 

Your recommendations are usually...always the best!

 

Well not really always the best... i only dare to recomend the stuffs when i've used them and if i find it good. But not all things i recomend will suit other people.

 

**bump**

Bought and tried the Skins Travel & Recovery Long Tights. Have been using it for 2 weeks now.

Works like a gem! Extremely highly recommended.

 

I ordered some Skins shirts, should be arriving in a few days, I hear once I get them I'll probably wanna buy more I read

 

Hmmm, they don't list Canada as a county they ship to but the local retailers here all only carry the bike or triathlon lines, are they the same as the A line (general all purpose)?

 

Update: Skins stuff is still great but this Panda has found Under Armour, Adidas, Nike and other premium brands have closed the gap.

Panda now believes it's not one specific brand that's significantly superior over another, it's the fact one is wearing the stuff that makes it effective.

An analogy: one could have a headache and take aspirin, ibuprofen or acetominophen to help relieve the headache. All basically function the same and will help. Of course the details, which you prefer, which is most effective, that's dependent on the user.

 

Well since I walk outdoors quite a lot as well for my fitness I guessed Skins would be nice, just read so much good about it. I ordered shorts btw not shirts, what typo

 

Panda: I have trouble my groin and glutes when I am playing for too long, so you are saying that this is helping you???
I have been on the Skin web site, and they are now talking about the 400 Series, anything on that??? Is it worth to pay more for it???

You are now saying that the other big names are also doing it, do you have any web link so I can try to find them in my area.

If you are saying that they are as effective; I supposed you have tried them???

 

I have found some Under Armour Core Short Pro, they are about 40% less expensive then the Skins, are they as good as the Skins model????

 

I have been using Skins and 2XU for some time now which are both Australian brands and both also being endorsed by quite a few top athletes mainly Australians. 2XU has close collaboration with the Australian Institute of Sports (AIS). Both are good and effective in their functionality but I find 2XU is more comfortable and fits better for me. Price-wise 2XU is lower also at about 15% less than Skins after discounts.

Prior to using them, I was using Adidas Techfit and for a short while even Victor's own compression shorts which I find it a joke and hardly serve the purpose at all. Adidas is not too bad but nothing compared to both these Australian brands.

 

Anyone knows where can i buy the product from Malaysia?Esp the brand "skins". Is Ebay reconmended?

 

hey, normally if playing badminton, most use shorts right?
If wearing a top, would it be sleeveless, short sleeve or long sleeve?

 

I've had trouble finding the skins brand but have both 2XU and Under Armour now and like the 2XU better. They are lighter, offer as much compression and breath better.

I use just the shorts normally but will use a short sleeve shirt on occasion.

 

I have tried the Under Armour for some time, with good results, and have recently ordered a Nike one, to try.

Finding the Skin's too expensive compared to all other, and Dink is saying, he does not see much difference between each.

 

Panda has recently purchased some compression wear from a South Korean company through eBay. It's excellent so far, on par with the best. Need to wear a bit more to give a final review/comparison. The best thing is, the wear is very inexpensive.

 

Hi Panda - what is the name of the company. I have also seen some on eBay and is probably the same company. They have some cool designs with bright green stitching,
