All about SKINS www.skins.net

<h1>SKINS Technologies</h1><em>Check out the "<span class="yellow">Products & Buy</span>" pages for details of the specific technologies used in each SKINS garment.</em><br /> <br /> <br /> <h2>COMPRESSION</h2><h3>Dynamic Gradient Compression</h3><div style="text-align: right;"><img alt="" src="http://www.skins.net/Libraries/Random/gdc_running_3.sflb.ashx" style="border: 0px solid rgb(216, 216, 216); float: right; height: 190px; margin-left: 23px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 15px; width: 95px;" /> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">SKINS 400 Series is the only high performance apparel to take into account compression levels needed to increase oxygen delivery to active muscles while in motion. We call this dynamic gradient compression. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">SKINS worked with the scientific and industrial research organisation in Australia to develop a device capable of taking multiple readings of the human body in motion. We hooked up SKINS athletes and for the first time ever, were able to accurately measure compression on muscles in motion - as they change shape with increased levels of oxygen-fuelled blood pumping through them.</div>This is revolutionary stuff – all previous compression measurements have been carried out on athletes standing still. <br /> <div style="text-align: justify;">We now know what compression levels are required for specific muscle groups whilst static, during activity and in post exercise recovery. We know where you need movement for comfort and injury prevention, and how to get the best circulatory benefits for more oxygen delivery and reduced lactic acid build-up. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Our unique and proprietary knowledge is built into all 400 Series products. So you can go out and tear up the ground. Rip a hole in your personal best. Shred the competition and go back for more.</div><br /> <h3>Engineered Gradient Compression</h3><img alt="" src="http://www.skins.net/Libraries/Random/gdc_muscles.sflb.ashx" style="float: left; height: 115px; margin: -5px 9px 5px 5px; width: 108px;" /><br /> <div style="text-align: justify;">We’re not just trying to squeeze you. SKINS gradient compression has been engineered to provide the correct level of surface pressure to specific parts of the body. This enhances circulation and gets more vital oxygen to your active muscles – boosting your power, speed and stamina.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Improved circulation also helps to eliminate lactic acid build up and other metabolic wastes during an intense workout. </div>The result? You go harder, for longer and recover faster.<br /> <br /> <h3>Warp knit</h3>The fabric in SKINS is warp knitted using multiple fine quality yarns to give superior performance.<br /> <img alt="" src="http://www.skins.net/Libraries/Random/warp_knit_2.sflb.ashx" style="height: 120px; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 20px; margin-top: -15px; vertical-align: top; width: 143px;" /><br /> <div style="text-align: justify;">Warp knit fabrics have no natural stretch – instead, the spandex mix ensures specific levels of elasticity and perfectly controlled compression. For a compression product this is superior to using circular knit which has natural stretch, making it hard to maintain the correct level of compression. Circular knit fabrics are also less durable and likely to run if snagged.</div><ul><li>Warp knit construction has a ‘float line’ between loops to aid moisture management</li> <li>Multiple yarns are used for added strength and to eliminate running if the fabric is torn</li> </ul><br /> <br /> <br /> <h2>FIT</h2><h3>400 fit</h3>400 fit is completely unique to SKINS.<img alt="" src="http://www.skins.net/Libraries/Random/gdc_400_points_2.sflb.ashx" style="float: right; height: 170px; margin-right: -5px; margin-top: -15px; width: 101px;" /><br /> <div style="text-align: justify;">We conducted our own research study of hundreds of athletes of all shapes and sizes. Using a full body 3D scanner, we gathered over 800,000 measurements from each chosen athlete. The result is 400 fit, a way of cutting and shaping SKINS according to 400 key fitting points. This gives a more comfortable fit and more precise, targeted dynamic gradient compression.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Our research also led us to produce a greater range of leg lengths for men and different body shapes for women.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">No product in the world pays such attention to your body size and shape. Which is why nothing fits – or works – quite like SKINS 400 Series.</div><br /> <h3>SKIN fit</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">SKINS unique sizing system is based on a Body Mass Index (BMI) / anthropometrical algorithm, because you only get the full benefits of gradient compression if your SKINS fit you properly.</div><br /> <br /> <br /> <h2>MUSCLES</h2><h3>Memory MX Fabric</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">Memory MX fabric contains a unique high stretch elastomeric yarn – which returns to its original shape no matter how much stress you put it under.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So you get the same level of muscle support and controlled compression from your SKINS twelve months down the track as you did the day you first put them on.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Featured in almost all SKINS 400 Series compression garments, biomechanically placed Memory MX compliments your own natural movement, provides constant, controlled compression and can help reduce the risk of injury.</div><br /> <h3>Muscle focus</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">SKINS have a unique way of wrapping and supporting your key muscle groups to reduce movement and focus direction. The seams on SKINS are strategically placed to act as ‘anchor points’ offering focused support and stability and promoting a heightened sense of proprioception.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The results:</div><ul><li>Less vibration in your muscles</li> <li>Less soft tissue damage</li> <li>Less soreness after exercise</li> <li>A decreased risk of muscular injury during times of fatigue</li> </ul><div style="text-align: justify;">SKINS muscle focus also reduces delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) – that stiffness and strength loss you get 24 to 72 hours later – and speeds up your recovery time too.</div><br /> <br /> <br /> <h2>CLIMATE CONTROL</h2><h3>Moisture management</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">Sweat is your body’s way of regulating temperature. We’ve got no intention of messing with that. But keeping you dry; that we’re interested in.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Wicking is inherent in all SKINS fabrics. Moisture is drawn away from your skin, so you stay dry and comfortable. This process allows the body to regulate its temperature naturally.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Even during an intense workout, your muscles can function at their optimal temperature.</div><br /> <h3>ICE</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">SKINS ICE garments contain a fair bit of sound science. Our proven engineered gradient compression improves your circulation, which optimises your body's natural temperature regulation, keeping you cooler when it's warm. In SKINS ICE, we've team engineered gradient compression with Microencapsulation Technology (MET). MET allows us to embed microcapsules of a menthol cooling substance into our fabric.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So what does this mean for you? University trials have shown that SKINS ICE significantly reduces the physiological factors that affect performance whilst exercising in the heat. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">SKINS ICE doesn’t physically cool the muscles – that would be a bad idea during exercise. Instead, under the influence of friction and body heat, the microcapsules release the cooling substances which stimulate thermo receptors in your skin. This triggers the nerves to send signals to your brain to induce a cooling sensation. So you feel cool, even in the hottest conditions.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">SKINS ICE can easily be recharged using our unique iceBOOST spray – you get a can with every product.</div><br /> <h3>Thermal</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">With a thermal rating 200% higher than other SKINS products, SKINS thermal keeps your muscles at the right temperature for as long as you need to keep pushing yourself.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It also keeps you warm without compromising on fit, support or moisture management. So you’ll stay comfortable and warm in cold conditions.</div><br /> <h3>Snow Thermal</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">Made from a unique blend of nylon hollow core fibres and spandex, SKINS snow thermal has over 190% higher thermal rating than SKINS standard tops and tights. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Heat from your body is trapped in the lightweight hollow core fibres, keeping you warm in cold temperatures. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The stretchy spandex gives you complete freedom of movement and all the benefits of SKINS engineered gradient compression. </div><br /> <h3>Brushed Fabric</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">SKINS snow garments feature brushed fabric on the inside.  This not only gives a softer feel, it also offers a slight thermal advantage by trapping warm air against your skin.</div><br /> <br /> <br /> <h2>PROTECTION KIT</h2><h3>Odour, stink, pong, smell, stench free</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">No matter how hard you work out, your SKINS won’t get too smelly. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Permanent antimicrobial features discourage the growth of bacteria by ionically absorbing odour. These features are built into all our fabrics, so they can’t ever be washed out. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">All SKINS 400 Series products also contain Ruco-bac antibacterial treatment. This is a highly effective way of stopping bacterial growth without influencing the natural balance of the skin. Unlike some harsh treatments, Ruco-bac is environmentally friendly, compliant with Oeko-Tex Standard 100.</div><br /> <h3>50+ UV protection</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">SKINS was born in Australia, so we know a thing or two about exerting ourselves in the sun. Aging might not stop you training, but sunburn and irritation will. One way or another – you have to cover up. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Our fabrics have a UV protection of 50+, which means you can get out and train harder without worrying about sun related risks.</div><br /> <br /> <br /> <h2>CYCLING SPECIFIC</h2><h3>C400 Chamois</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">The Multi-D Anatomic Carbonium men’s chamois in SKINS C400 shorts is the result of thousands of hours of engineering and user testing.</div><ul><li>its unique anatomically curved shape perfectly fits the area where your bum meets the saddle</li> <li>the Elastic Interface® Technology Carbonium three-threaded fabric expands and contracts with your body’s movement, eliminating friction as you pedal, while allowing maximum breathability</li> <li>high-density foam inserts also relieve pressure in the perineal area for maximum comfort</li> <li>carbon content provides natural antimicrobial protection</li> </ul>In a sport that places huge demands on the body, this is one feature that really makes a difference. <br /> <br /> <h3>DiAPLEX</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">DiAPLEX is a super smart membrane inserted into the front of SKINS C400 wind vests that adapts to body temperature. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This state of the art fabric becomes an insulating barrier against wind chill on steep descents and allows cyclists to let off steam when your body temperature rises again on hilly climbs. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It uses Micro-Brownian motion: when your body temperature reaches a certain point, pores in the fabric open up to allow water vapour and heat to escape. The hotter it gets, the wider the pores open – helping you cool. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">At lower temperatures, the membrane remains rigid and the pores stay shut, trapping warm air against your body keeping you warm.</div><br /> <h3>Cycle Pro Men’s Chamois</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">Engineered in Italy – home to the Giro d'Italia and other thigh burning events – the Elastic Interface® Technology cycle pro men’s Multi-DM chamois is the result of rigorous wear testing by a panel of experts, which means:</div><ul><li>multiple foam densities for the ultimate comfort</li> <li>freedom of movement in the saddle</li> <li>protection for sensitive areas of the male anatomy</li> <li>optimum breathability to transport moisture</li> </ul>So you’ll be able to ride hard all day without getting a sore bum.<br /> <br /> <h3>Cycle Pro Women’s Chamois</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">Designed in Italy SKINS cycle pro women’s longs and shorts feature an Elastic Interface® Technology Multi-DF chamois, which is more than just a comfy cushion. It provides:</div><ul><li>three different foam densities for ultimate comfort</li> <li>freedom of movement in the saddle</li> <li>protection for sensitive areas of the female anatomy</li> <li>optimum breathability to transport moisture</li> </ul>So you can concentrate on the next mountain climb without worrying about the comfort of your backside.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <h2>TRIATHLON SPECIFIC </h2><h3>TRI400 Chamois</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">Using Elastic Interface® Technology, the TRI400 chamois is designed specifically for triathletes looking for maximum comfort and performance.</div><ul><li>high density foam provides maximum protection with a slim profile</li> <li>all-way stretch elastic insert expands and contracts with your body’s movement, eliminating friction as you pedal</li> <li>textured surface allows for optimum moisture transfer and comfort</li> </ul>The non-absorbent foam adapts to the bike immediately after the swim leg.<br /> <br /> <h3>Anti-friction Carbon Panels</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">When you pull on your SKINS TRI400 suit, nothing can slow you down. This is thanks to the strategically placed carbon-infused fabric panels between the thighs. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Tests have shown that anti-friction carbon panels generate up to 40% less friction. Which means less chafing, more comfort – and better performance when you run.</div><br /> <h3>TRI400 fabric</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">A SKINS TRI400 suit doesn’t just help you blitz the transitions. It helps you glide through the water, leaving the rest of the pack in your wake.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It’s all down to strategically placed panels of ultra smooth Toray fabric. This heat and pressure treated material minimises drag and gives you a more streamlined profile as you cut through the water. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Blended from Cationic polyester and LYCRA, the TRI400 Toray fabric also resists colour fading from exposure to light and chlorinated pool water.</div><br /> <br /> <br /> <h2>RANGE SPECIFIC</h2><h3>CROM</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">CROM stands for complete range of motion – and it gives you just that. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">SKINS CROM tops provide engineered gradient compression across your torso and arms to improve circulation and get more oxygen to your active muscles. At the same time, motion tech panels on the upper torso give you total flexibility when you’re on the field or track, in training or in a match.</div>

It is a region with many rivers, such as the Loire, and so rowing is well established.<br /> <strong><span style="color: navy;">WR: How did you discover rowing?</span><br /> JB: </strong>Before I began rowing, I did horse-back riding (show jumping). I had to stop because of back problems related to a rapid growth spurt. I had to reinforce my back muscles. Our family doctor suggested I start rowing or swimming. Since being in the water terrifies me (yes, that is a scoop!). I told myself it would be better to be on the water… and that is how I started rowing in September 1999 and discovered a sport I didn’t know anything about. I was 13.<br /> I went reluctantly at first. I didn’t find the sport interesting, I was bored in the beginners boat. That lasted all winter long and then spring came along with the first competitions. Something triggered within me. Although I had not attended sessions regularly, the coaches of my club (Angers Nautique Aviron) offered me to row in an eight, to prepare for the French championships. We qualified and that was a revelation. I loved the friends, the atmosphere and especially the racing. That woke up the competitor within me.<br /> The following year, at age 14, I started rowing in the single. I always really liked the single. I was lucky to have coaches at the club who believed in me and knew how to build my self confidence so I could start competing at the elite level. I come from a little club that initially didn’t have a lot of material resources. I thank Robert Servel in particular (sport counselor in my region) who immediately saw my potential and looked to place me in the best possible environment. I trained more and more. I loved to feel that the more I trained the faster I went in the boat and when racing. And just to think I had sworn to only stay in rowing for a year and then go back to horse-back riding… You can never tell!<br /> <strong><span style="color: navy;">WR: What were the major challenges you had to face to be able to row at elite level?</span><br /> JB: </strong>There are many challenges when practicing at the elite level. Challenges came my way early. At 16 I was already training between seven and eight times per week. The French school system is not adapted for practicing a sport.  We have courses from eight a.m. until six p.m. every day except weekends. So I had to be very organised to be able to train. Since I lived quite far from my club, my coach would pick me up between noon and two p.m. so I could go row, and then go back to school. I did homework in the school bus because I came back home late in the evening after training. Looking back, I was really very organised for a 16, 17 year old. I always had the support of my family. It is very important for me to know they are by my side, because elite sport is riddled with obstacles.<br /> Since you cannot live from rowing, I had to plan my higher education. I began mechanical engineering studies at the UTC (Technology University of Compiègne), north of Paris. The studies are long and difficult, especially the first years. When I joined the school I was able to benefit from a special arrangement designed for elite athletes. I did my studies in seven years instead of five, which allowed me to skip classes and also to train and go to regattas. But again, the constraints of rowing are such that even with this arrangement it was sometimes very difficult. I finish my courses this monthand the next challenge will be to find work. To continue rowing at elite level while working at the same time will require a lot of sacrifices.<br /> <strong><span style="color: navy;">WR: What do you do when you do not row?</span><br /> JB: </strong>I go to university to study mechanical engineering. I specialised in project management which should allow me to have a job with responsibilities. This part of my life keeps me very busy and days go by at 200km/h. I still have a bit of time to read. I like reading a lot and that allows me to take time to quiet down. I also try and see friends, although I do not see enough of them to my liking.<br /> <strong><span style="color: navy;">WR: Since 2007, you won a series of medals at Rowing World Cup and World Rowing Championship levels, first in the quad, then in the double. What are the differences you noticed between these two boat classes?</span><br /> JB: </strong>I was placed in the quad in 2005. The aim was to prepare the strongest boat possible for the Beijing Games. We were lucky during the last Olympic cycle to have a very strong sculling group. When you work in a quad you have to be able to increase your own level (by training in the single and on the erg) and also to think as a group. We were looking for a common technique, even when training in the single.  You really need to forget yourself because in a quad you are lost in the mass. In competition, you feel strong together, you feel supported and there is also the sharing of wins and losses, which means that today my crewmates are more than crewmates. We shared so many things together that we are linked forever, in a way, by the spirit of the quad.<br /> The double is more personal. You learn to live with someone, as in a couple! When you don’t get along with a crewmate in the quad, you can always turn to someone else. But in a double, you have to compromise, learn how to handle yourself, better understand the other one.  You need to be in perfect harmony physically and psychologically in a double. It is really a lot more personal and training can be a source of conflict because disagreements are felt a lot more strongly. But I find it so interesting and exciting to be able to increase your performance through a more specific and closer understanding of your crewmate. When competing, I feel I can express myself a lot better, and better feel what I’m doing in the boat. But then, if a stroke isn’t great you feel it a lot more quickly!<br /> <br /> <strong><span style="color: navy;">WR: What are the factors that played a decisive role in your level of performance these past years?</span><br /> JB:</strong> I know that my first season as a senior was a great catalyst. I only finished seventh at the selection trials in France, but was given the chance to race at the three Rowing World Cups in the single. I finished fourteenth twice, and performed at my best. At 18 it was the greatest experience I could have had alongside the best international single scullers.<br /> I then joined the quad for the World Rowing Championships in Gifu. Rowing with experienced rowers such as Jean-David Bernard or Adrien Hardy was very enriching. I learned how to handle preparation for the World Rowing Championships, and how to approach a world-class final. <br /> I am not big physically for a heavyweight rower so I had to bulk up a bit to better match my crewmates. I did a huge job to reinforce myself and lower my erg times despite only measuring 1m90 and weighing 89kg.<br /> I think the factors that influence my level of performance are my fierce determination in training and in competition and the fact that I am rigorous and constant and able to always question myself. You cannot be satisfied with what you do and still make progress. I look for solutions to optimise what I do. I try to build myself up technically and psychologically. I get inspiration from what others do but also make my own opinion about rowing and performanceI try tomake everything coherent in rowing and outside of rowing. I try toavoid falling into the “I only live for rowing” trap. That is also part of performance in my eyes!<br /> <br /> <strong><span style="color: navy;">WR: You were French champion in the single sculls several times. How would you describe your relation to this boat?</span><br /> JB:</strong> I won my third consecutive national champion title in the heavyweight single this year. I had also won at the junior level. I think the single is my favourite boat, but also one of the most difficult and demanding ones.  Even if it is difficult at times I never tire of it. When I get on the water, I forget all of my concerns. I like beingalone with myself, even with my doubts and questions. I try to find the solution witheach stroke and I can only depend on myself. If the result is bad, it’s because of me. If it is good, it is also because of me. I never get bored in my single. I go at my own tempo, and look to optimise my speed and technique using my qualities, my physiology and my flaws.<br /> I especially like the relation I have with the river, with nature. I often go on the water very early and have the feeling I am waking up at the same time as nature.<br /> I also like competing in the single. It is not the same type of stress, I feel overexcited, I look for solutions and reach for my limits on my own.<br /> <strong><span style="color: navy;">WR: You rowed in the single in Bled. Do you plan to stay in this category on the long term?</span><br /> JB:</strong> I do not know at all what I will do in the future. With some scullers going over to sweep rowing or stopping rowing altogether, our group is being totally restructured. It is also interesting to be a driving force, to be an example to increase the level of the group. Regarding the single my focus ismid to long term. You don’t just improvise with single sculling. Something within me is pushing me to try out this adventure, but I must also take time to think.<br /> <strong><span style="color: navy;">WR: What was it like for you to race in the single in Bled, alongside some of the best single scullers?</span><br /> JB:</strong> Bled was a very enjoyable experience. I enjoyed racing at high level where nothing is determined until the very end. I learnt a lot about myself, about my way of managing a race and pushing my limits. I think my result in Bled is encouraging. It makes me want to race internationally in the single again. Despite having a lighter  physique than the others, I proved I had weapons to compete against the best. </td></tr> </tbody></table>
