Biography

"I have been wearing SKINS for over five years. They have become an essential part of my kit, up there with my boots and headgear! I find that body shots tend to have a lesser impact on me when wearing SKINS during a game, it’s as if my SKINS provide me with some extra cushioning.

 

"I also find that my body recovers quicker when I wear SKINS after training and games. For a quicker recovery, I sleep in my SKINS after games and always wear them when flying.
They are like my second skin," Johnathan Thurston.

 

JT has been utilising SKINS since 2005.
