Led by the English company Iberia General Outdoor ( http://www.goutdoor.com/web/ ) , exclusive importers and other brands of POC, Bergans of Norway, 4 FRNT, or mark at issue in this case Skins http://www.goutdoor.com/web/15.php , http://www.skins.net/index.aspx , I received today from one of its star products, which is none other than the Skins compression stockings, in particular the model PowerSox .
start at the beginning, Skins.
Skins is a registered Australian , specialized in manufacturing compression sportswear of the highest range. What we can provide a compression garment? In principle, these garments are designed to exert the exact pressure in each of the specific locations for which it was designed, with this pressure, what you get is an acceleration of blood flow, which makes you get more oxygen to the muscles, it becomes a capacity-building muscle, gaining ability to work longer, and significantly reducing the recovery time of it.
must be said that this model not correspond to the Series 400 (is the new range), which to achieve them, studies have used 3D body scan, with 800,000 points of measurement, which are summarized in turn in 400 (hence the name of the range) key set points, ensuring a comfortable fit and more accurate understanding.
But back to the model at hand the PowerSox . This model, besides the functions of compression, it has other utilities.
- Helps control humidity, because it removes your skin, and therefore facilitates perspiration.
- controls body temperature, because depending on weather conditions, helps optimize temperature, and so the muscles go into heat more easily thanks to better circulation.
- Antibacterial, the tissue in which they are made of the Skins prevents bacterial growth, and this quality is not lost in the wash of the garment, since it is an inherent property of the tissue with which they are made.
- 50 + UV protection, this is equivalent to wearing the Skins, it's like if you apply an SPF cream of this value, and that Australians understand :-).
- Helps prevent muscle injuries, because if for example the use in impact sports such as running, the muscle to be collected, received less impact, and this prevents many injuries.
- But besides all this, the more oxygen to the muscles and promote blood flow, prevents the feeling of tired legs, suffered by people who may have circulatory problems such, yes, before use, if you circulatory problems, or venous return, it is advisable to always go to a specialist before using this product, and you best specialist physician.
why I asked to test this stuff?
Honestly, because recently I have encountered a problem of venous return, and has been my own doctor that I have recommended the use of such material (compression stockings). He told me it would help me greatly improve my problem, and I'll avoid the inconvenience that it brings: a feeling of heaviness, tingling, etc, etc. As I explained, these measures, the role they do is compress the calf muscles, and the same, causes the muscles themselves become a function of pumping blood upwards.
it true?
There is only one way to know, and this is none other than using them, I think that having the problem I have, I'm an ideal tester :-) (something good had to have it?). For a while the will use daily and will keep you informed at all times of the feelings they convey.
By the way, from here wanted to thank Idoia Garai (the Department of Administration General Outdoor Iberia) the possibility that it has offered to test your product. Thanks for the efficiency shown.
This is the box.
And this content.
The garment has a Lycra-like finish, with two yellow seams are oriented one forward and one back, also has a lead opening under the bridge foot, which helps significantly to not move the least. It has some very good acabacos at the seams, and the aesthetics are nice.
The method washing, is the same as for clothing cycling technique, ie short wash in cold water, and without using fabric softeners or bleach, as that will damage the product specifications losing all their virtues. Besides this type of garment can be used perfectly under the water, not swimming pools, as chlorine will damage irreparably the elastic properties of the garment, but for example in salt water, yes, after each use in salt water convenient, sweeten, ie enough fresh water rinse.
Well no more, and I will be ....... contant Greetings
Be happy
