How Skins™ ICE work:

There’s a fair bit of science and technology in Skins™ ICE.All smart people know that Skins™ BioAcceleration Technology™ improves your circulation. This optimises your body's natural mechanism for temperature regulation, keeping you cooler when it's warm. Skins have now taken their proven BioAcceleration Technology™ and teamed it with something entirely new: Microencapsulation Technology (MET)...so what's this all about?

Skins™ ICE uses MET to embed tiny microcapsules into the proprietary fabric during the manufacturing process.The effects of activity like perspiration, friction, pressure and body temperature trigger these microcapsules to release a cooling menthol substance that has been scientifically proven to induce a cool feeling by stimulating thermo receptors in your skin. A subtle menthol aroma is also released during activity which further evokes a cool sensation.

We should point out that your skin and muscles will not be physically cooled while wearing Skins™ ICE as this would be detrimental, especially during exercise.

Skins™ ICE does all of this, and incorporates all the features and benefits of the Skins™ sport range so training and competing during the hot summer months has never been easier or more comfortable.

Skins ICE Boost
The unique fabric used in all Skins™ ICE garments is impregnated with a polymer that binds the microcapsules to the fibres in the fabric. After around 10 washes, the microcapsules in Skins™ ICE need a boost to ensure they continue to provide efficient cooling. Every Skins™ ICE product comes with a can of iceBOOST spray that’s really simple to use and will recharge your Skins™ ICE for another 10 washes.Each iceBOOST gives you around 5 to 10 recharge applications.

To recharge Skins™ ICE all you need to do is:

• Wash your Skins™ ICE garment in cold water on a gentle cycle and lay flat to dry.
• Before wearing, turn inside out and spray the inside of your garment for 5 to 10 seconds concentrating on areas where you want the most cooling effect.
• If the spray nozzle clogs, just remove it from the can and run it under warm water to clear the blockage.
  

Skins™ iceBOOST spray will ONLY work on garments with the Skins™ ICE cross linkable polymer. Use of Skins™ iceBOOST on products other than Skins™ ICE could result in damage to fabric such as colour bleeding and staining.

PLEASE NOTE: This garment fits tightly to the skin, therefore, due to hygene reasons we are unable to accept returns on this item.Please select the size you require carefully.
