The engineered gradient compression in SKINS Essentials calf tights with stirrup gets more oxygen to your muscles for improved performance when training and competing in any impact sport. They also help reduce the risk of injury by supporting your calf, providing more control over involuntary muscle movement and vibration. The stirrup under the heel keeps the garment perfectly positioned, while the anatomic left and right cut ensures a comfortable fit – making them suitable to wear during post-exercise recovery and on long-haul flights. Fast wicking technology transports moisture away from the skin and helps regulate your temperature, while UPF 50+ provides all round sun protection.
