SKINS A200 Mens Top Short Sleeve

I have a couple of other pieces of compression clothing by the same manufacturer all bought from Amazon. I have to say Skins products are generally well made and once you become used to the feel of them whilst they are worn, you will soon give up wearing anything else. I'm of quite athletic build so slipping into this T shirt is straight-forward, and certainly it looks and feels just right for my kind of exercise, with the added bonus that it makes you look like a hardcore professional athlete even if you aren't. I bought a matching T shirt and shorts for running during the summer, both in white thinking it would prove to be cooler when worn in the heat of the day. I can't say I have worn it whilst running during midday sunshine but certainly I stay cool enough on warmer evenings.One thing I would mention is that be very careful measuring your size/weight before ordering, I deliberately ordered a medium size despite the fact I was right on the border between small/medium due to my weight vs height. I have a feeling that ordering the smaller size would have resulted in it being very difficult to get into.

Purchased 2013 skins silver A200 XL I'm chest size 46 have been totally satisfied with this top used regularly at gym on cross trainer etc over the past 2 yearsthis top is worth every penny no sign of wear Stays in shape looks great washes easily drys easily costs more than some but worth paying for such a well made item no faults found in the design it's now 2015 November and have just purchased 2 more A200 tops in black and white this is a 5 star product well done skins

I use these tops in the gym and having worn both Nike Pro and the Sub stuff, I feel these offer unrivalled compression. I bought four of them. I feel that they enhance my gym experience, providing support for my muscle groups which enables a sustained intensity in the gym I just don't get from wearing a cotton t-shirt. They look really good too. The sweat wicking is very good - note that there's a big mesh patch under each armpit that's not visible in the photograph.My only issue is with the longevity of the product with frequent usage. In the space of three months - with two uses per week of each top - two have developed problems. Specifically a rip at a seam. I've sent them back and had replacements, no quibble.The fit is exceptionally tight. The guide from Skins is spot on so follow their advice on sizing. The fit does slacken slightly with washing so don't be perturbed if when you first try it on you feel like you're a square peg in a round hole.

Really nice compression short sleeved top.I bought a pair of Skins tights a while ago and only just started wearing them as the weather got cold on my weekend offload cycling trips.I loved them so much i got this top.Skins are the most comfortable base layer / compression clothing i have ever worn and i have some really nice other brands items.Wearing this top makes me look slimmer than i am and is not too tight to take off.Very impressed and will be buying more skins items.

Excellent product. Have had my eye on Skins Compression kit for a while, and whilst I love my Adidas compression long-sleeved top and compression shorts, Skins products are perceived as being market-leaders, which now I wholeheartedly agree. I wear it under existing training kit for cycling and whatever else comes along and has so-far provided the attributes that make this a necessary piece of cycling kit. I am now hoping to add some other Skins items to my growing list of cycling & training wear.

Excellent quality. I would echo the advice given by many others: if in the slightest doubt go UP one size. I normally but T-shirts as medium and also have the A200 bottoms as medium but bought the top as large. I'm glad I did - it still provides a great deal of compression, any more and I don't know if I would have been able to put it on.

Recently discovered and loved this type of clothing- initially bought full length kit for out door activity and am convinced it has helped me avoid injury (I'm now 58 going on 59) when vigorously exercising. The UV protection is also a bonus thought horseflies can still bite you through these. Bought the short sleeved version for indoor work out as long sleeve were too hot and am very pleased. Will buy again. Care needed for dressing and undressing and I use a "peeling" technique.

The bought a total of two pieces of skins a-200 tops, xs and s in each one.S yards of my own wear, size xs is bring my brother-in-law.My dress fits me well, also very satisfied. But size xs this discoloration is very serious.Running after covered with clothes fell down on the black paint.We think that'll be okay after washing the clothes.After washing them problem remains unresolved.We suspect that the xs yards of clothes is not the real thing.This order bought a total of eight pieces of skins a-200, only this one is the problem.We will upload photos later.
