Re: Skins
They have their purpose but I'm not a big fan of them.

Re: Skins
I use Canterburys armorfit which i suppose are very similar, they are top notch i use them more in the football season but i use my longsleeve one to keep me cool in the summer and theres nothing better than feeling nice and dry rather than all sweaty on you back after a long spell.

. and as a plus they stop me from getting post cricket soreness 
Re: Skins
Skins are great, they keep your body temperature right and they aid recover after the action. I have worn them in the UK in the hot and cold, Singapore in the humid oppressive heat and Australia in various conditions. To the young and fit, they are a fashion icon, but the older you get the more they hold you together.
The best use in very sunny conditions is to block the sun and therefore ideal for the younger players. I've now used UnderArmour, Canterbury and Puma. They all pretty much do the same job and therefore, unless your really serious about their qualities and uses go for SKINS or it's just a fashion statement to supplement your kit.
I would recommend the tights to anyone, I usually suffer with hamstring injuries, however much stretching I do, but wearing the tights really did help and I had no muscle soreness after the match.

I have a canterbury undershirt, the one that keeps you cool in hot conditions, looks and feels nice, very comfortable to wear, and i was much more comfortable in the field when wearing it. I'm a fan of them.

Re: Skins
As above, Canterbury all the way. I find them a godsend at all times of the year, and even have some work - find they help keep my warm\dry etc under the uniform.

Re: Skins
A salesman from a rival company to Canterbury, whilst trying to convince me to buy his product instead, told me that in one of the province's top club leagues, the canterbury skins were banned because of the company logo on the arm. Batsmen were objecting to the bowlers wearing them as the logo apparently distracted them from seeing the ball properly whilst bowling. Not sure if this is true or if anyone has come across it as well.

Re: Skins
I have the skins long pants, cant say they're all their cracked up to be. They seem to help me on the field, but they certainly dont keep me cool and have done very little to decrease my recovery time.

Re: Skins
I'm sure that if that was a problem, Canterbury would just remove the logo. Also, there is nothing to stop the players putting white tape over the logo.

Ha ha, that is a good one. Sounds like a desparate salesman to me.

Re: Skins
I'm thinking of gettin Skins for the upcoming season as they seem to be pretty good. Could anyone recommend long or short sleeve tops and short or full-length style tights?? Any views on the matter?

Re: Skins
OK thanks jimmy. I was thinking that there wouldn't be much benefit for having it extend onto your forearms really and it might inhibit the movement of the knee. On the other hand, your calfs are a reasonably large muscle group. I'll have a think about it.

Re: Skins
OK thanks for the advice jimmy, I've decided to get long tights and a long sleeved top to see how it goes on the basis that, with compression gradients, the more that's part of the gradient, the more the effect.
