Ozgirl will attest to this - The pants make driving pain free by reducing lactic acid build up in your legs. 5 hrs in a car after riding all day can be painful - but not while wearing compression pants.

Oh hells yes!!

And by all day for me that means first lifts to last lifts with a bit of drill sergeant training in the middle!

I used to limp when getting out of the car to fill up. With SKINs on that stopped happening!

But I will say that on the odd occasion my SKINs have ended up in the dryer.. with seemingly no ill effects! (not advised though! I do try to remember to fish em out of my normal clothes when they get chucked in the dryer!)

It was pretty orderly everyone put their trollys at the side and zipped in an out from the bins. There was a bit of bumping but no shoving - all very polite. Without rushing I got all I wanted - but not socks and PinkPrincesses shoes are too small.

I’ll go back today or tomorrow to get socks/change shoes. THey said there was plenty of stock but the staff couldn’t it on the shelves as fast as it was taken.

In/out in 15min - now we’re sitting around in our gear. And I’m about to put together the snowbike.

We got there at around 8am and there was about 50 people there. By 830 there was over 100. People were so pushy and I even got hit by someone with their trolley. I just slowly walked my way down and grabbed the pants Dark wanted, and a roller bag too. Done, in and out in 10 minutes!

What sort of socks are you buying? Merino or regular? I was fearful of getting in the ring today might have a look tomorrow.
