With our unique Heat Defeating Technology Skins™ ICE actually cools you while you wear it, making it an essential part of your training kit for summer.
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. We’ve now taken our 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 our 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.

Features & Benefits
Skins™ ICE incorporates all the following features and benefits so now there’s no excuse for you not to train or compete at your best in the heat:
- BioAcceleration
Skins™ gradient compression accelerates blood flow and oxygen delivery to working muscles. Circulation improvements help eliminate lactic acid and other metabolic wastes, allowing you to work at a higher rate for longer.
- Heat Defeating
A menthol microencapsulated cooling substance induces the sensation of ‘cold’ by stimulating thermo receptors within your skin. So you’ll feel cooler, without the detrimental effect of your muscles actually cooling down.
- Skin»UVblock
With heat comes sun, which is why Skins™ gives you UPF50+ protection for the life of the garment.
- Skin»muscle +
Anatomically positioned seams work as anchor points along muscle groups to focus power and dramatically reduce vibration.
- Skin»fit
A precision fit based on a body mass index (BMI) / anthropometrical algorithm to ensure the correct level of surface pressure for your body shape.
- Skin»dry
Moisture management wicking draws moisture away from your skin to the outer surface of the fabric where it evaporates, keeping you dry and comfortable.
- Skin»temp
Improved circulation optimizes your body’s natural mechanism for temperature regulation, helping you to manage the effects of training and competing in the heat.
- Skin»fresh
Permanent antibacterial and antimicrobial features, inherent in Skins™ proprietary fabric, discourage growth of bacteria and help prevent odour.

Skins™ iceBOOST
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.
- Get out and go hard!
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.
