High-tech Australian clothing company Skins has launched its first-ever thermal garment – a long sleeve top, ideal for those cold, dark days ahead.

The top – introduced in response to the brand’s growing success and seasonal demands in Europe - uses a brand new fabric developed exclusively by Skins which makes it 200% warmer than the company’s existing ‘Sport’ range.

Crucially, it also retains all the proven benefits of Skins’ gradient compression technology – with excellent muscle wrapping and now a rubber gripper on the bottom of the garment to prevent ‘ride up’.

Additionally, the top is even more effective at wicking as the fabric’s fibres have twice as much surface area to transport moisture along.

The top comes in black and white, retailing at £65 for the adult version and £45 for the youth’s. For stockists go to: www.skins.net and use the postcode locator or call 01543 420550.
