I've been a fan of the A400 series for a while and this is the first pair I've bought with the newer design (my old ones being the gold writing). I also went down a size to compare the fit.
All I can say is WOW! The feel is the same amazing "second skin" I've come to expect from SKINS compression gear: tight enough to let you know its doing its job, but not so tight you feel like you're in a vice. The material is top notch and exceptionally comfortable. And the design? It is flippin' fantastic - straight out of a superhero movie and I love it.
Wearing compression gear was a game changer for me as I graduated onto longer, more difficult running and at half price these are an absolute steal. As for the see-through thing - I don't find them to be see-through, but I would never wear compression gear over my undies on its own because it's quite like underwear in its own right! Anatomically revealing, if you know what I mean?

The best compression tights from Skins! They feel like your second skin and at the same time they give you great compression in a way that makes you feel fit and firm :)

If you are serious about exceptional quality exercise gear that also looks incredible, this is the pair to get. They are not only superb in fit and never ever sag (I've worn my other pair nearly every morning for 5 years), this pair also looks cool with the design/pattern and the positioning of it is very flattering to the line of your leg. They never get loose around the waist, hard to tear, and provide all the technical compression you could want.

Love these leggings.
They are true compression leggings.
I’m not certain what those who claim these are “see through” are accustomed too, but they are not see through.
My favorite is the A400. My 2nd is the “dynamic”.
I am 5’7” & weigh 145lbs and wear a medium.
I originally ordered a small, but it was just too constricting.
Much better than lululemon and gymshark..

Very happy with purchase. Stylish pattern. FXS easy to wear and fits well all over. Maybe placebo, but I've noticed improved performance & stamina on my runs.

The best I've ever had! Even though they are one size bigger than mine, after I start training this doesn't bother me at all. The compression is great!

Very comfortable but VERY see-through. You have to wear nude underwear otherwise your underwear will show 100%

I love the high waist(please make more), I wished that I would have know about Skins brand , I spent too much money trying cheaper brands. The compression is perfect, after 2 minutes I forget that I have them on. They might be slightly see through , however it does not bother me. I am 5'7 between 133- 137 lbs, the XS fits me like a glove.

This is my first pair of skins, very impressed and much more comfortable than i imagined, but the waist band could do ewith being wider or higher.

Awesome, no other running leggings match these. Best fit, any other running leggings after wearing these feel baggy.

My second purchase of SKINS tights, these live up to the high standard I expected. Really good fit, good compression without being too tight or restrictive in any way. My muscles feel well supported whilst running. The design is subtle and stylish. I've not washed them yet, hopefully they'll survive as well as my other pair has.

I wear them for dancing at No Lights No Lycra and can keep jumping around for the whole hour even after nine hours on my feet working as a chef. The morning after my legs don't even notice they have had a work out. Buy them, they are awesome.

Geniale Hose. Ich war unsicher, ob die kleinere passen würde und habe deshalb zwei zur Auswahl bestellt. Die kleinere war richtig. Die Angaben in der Größentabelle haben also gestimmt. Rücksendung und Rückerstattung war schnell und ohne Stress. Hier kaufe ich gerne ein.

Incredible active wear! I bought it with doubts over what they said about the compression technology. I did not expect that it is what it says. There's a clear difference between any other active wear and these tights and makes my workout and recovery so much better. Thank you!

Superior quality, unrivaled by any other brand! Been a loyal, die hard A400 customer for the last 6 years and will not/can not use any other brand for aerobic activities. Always eagerly looking forward to new products in the A400 line. Next stop? SKINS K-PROPRIUM ! But cannot find the XS size (women's long tights) on the USA website yet :-(

I love my old school Skins /2012-2015\and always expect the same quality especially ordering an A400. These are complete disappointment!!! See through all the way on the back where it is a single layer. Same for shorts of the same line. Will try to return.

Nice fit everywhere but the waist is low so if you're not extra, extra lean you'll have a bit of a "muffin top". Also, as others mentioned they are see through in the butt area. Disappointed!

Really love them. I wear them when weight training. I feel well supported and able to perform better and My recovery is fast and DOMS is near non existent now. The only reason I give 4 stars instead of 5 is because they are sheer and my underwear obviously shows really clear. It isn't the end of the world as I just wear shorts over top but I'd love it if I didn't have to.

I am converted! I have recently moved over to the A400's and I have to say they are fantastic in every way. They provide support in all the right places, I have worn them both on the treadmill indoor and out on long runs, they do exactly what they say, keep you cool when hot and vice Versa. I have found the waistband really good, it's comfortable, and the tights don't ride down at all despite not having a draw string waist. A first class piece of running kit, I can't recommend these enough to fellow runners - thank you Skins

Hi guys. It's all love. The colored DNAs offer more support than I expected, but the A400s don't have as good a quality waistband as their former model. Still I wouldn't wear anything else xx

I have gotten an A400 Women's Long Tights Gold FS and design-wise it looks amazing. However, on the first use, it was not at all comfortable. It didn't fit quite as well as the A200 tights and it just keeps slipping down. It was not worth the 100$+ that I paid for. Only wore it twice and it's now in my closet gathering dust.

I loved the H shape previously available in the 400 series. The new A400s are too tight around the waistband and the larger size doesn't compress the legs well

Fabuleux! Avec des kilos en trop difficile de trouver un collant à ma taille :-( ... Eh oui même les personnes qui ne font pas un 34 aimer fond du sport!, Mais avec skins, non seulement il est à ma taille mais en plus c'est comme une 2eme peau! Super agréable à porter et en plus belle esthétique Je ne le lâcherais pour rien au monde! Merci Skins

I loved the old style of skins. The low waist band is terrible on the new style for those who have a belly. Much preferred the higher waist. Maybe you could provide both options?

Absolutely loved these, until they started pilling allover! have owned several pairs of skins with no pilling, but these are just absolutely covered. The waistband also does tend to dig in more than other Skins. Very disappointing considering the price tag.

Have the old style A400 and they are awesome, just starting to go thin over the knees so desperate for more. Sorry but I have to disagree with Rob, being older with a tummy I need them to go to the waist not middle of the bulge :-) any chance of finding some old stock not low on the hip?

Great product! Find the compression firm but comfortable. Just getting back to training after a couple of months off and bought these to support the circulation in my calves. Time will tell if they are effective ..but so far so good! The sizing guide is pretty good ... don't be shocked when they arrive ... they will go on!!!! Find them a bit tight across the stomach but I think that will improve as I get back to my normal ruining routine. I wear them with shorts over (october in NL ) mainly because they would be a little indecent without lol! But they are flattering on my legs as well as comfortable. Would highly recommend!

These tights are amaze-BALLS. These are my third pair of skins, but my first pair of the new style of A400s. This modified pair fits way better than the older version. I am quite short and my torso is short as well. The old tights had great performance, but they went above my navel. I felt like I was wearing granny. high waisted pants. These actually sit at my hip and they feel even better. Great job in getting the details right SKINS!

The compression in these skins works really well, the panneling is great and they are comfortable. One issue though is that the backside panels are a bit see through compared to my A200's.

Unfortunately I am not the normal shape. I have really skinny legs. Because Skins make tights to fit the average woman I have found it impossible to get the strong compression I was hoping for on the legs. Although I was on the line in the size charge between XS and S, I had to buy M in order to get a good fit around the waist. This means, that for me, the legs are probably too loose to adequately compress.
However I'm sure the small amount of compression I get on the legs is of some benefit. If they fitted me correctly they would be wonderful.

This is my first pair of skins which I only bought because my sports physio recommended them to help my calf injury. I was very skeptical they would work. They blow all other brands out of the water. I have bought two more skins within a week and will not exercise without them. They look and feel great and really help me to workout for longer and recovery time is significantly reduced. I have been having regular sports injuries and since I am using my skins I've not pulled or torn one muscle. All sports war should be made like this I honestly think they are the best bit of sports kit I have ever bought.

My second pair of A400 skins. Wore my first pair for a tough mudder , 2 half marathons and numerous training runs and classes. Recovery has always been amazing with minimal aches and pains. Love the new style of these skins. look and feel amazing with the same performance of my old ones. A must have for serious training.
