Skins Coldblack Compression Top - Mens for $35 @ Rebel Sport

731

I have been a silent watcher here for a while! Thought its high time I gave something back.

I bought these tops for $50 last week online with shipping of $5.50, but they have got an other $15 off. They are the cheapest I have found on a Skins compression gear! I have personally owned one for over 2 years now, and this is a pretty damn good deal.

Cheers

Just got back from the store. The rep was a bit grumpy and was not interested in refunding me the $15. Ended up doing it finally. On second thought, I'm thinking of getting an other one

  • Good to see you come out of the shadows! Also saw Men's Puma compression pants $20, score!

  • I just rang up the nearby store, and they have agreed to give me a credit back of $15. I believe the advertised price of $50 is a typo error as this retails for $149. I would probably get you guys to get this before they change the price on the site.

    Also the store rep mentioned that they have 30% off all compression gear. Not sure how long this deal lasts.

    Cheers

      damn so no use for the $40 gift card :)

      • Not sure what to buy with it, I keep checking rebel but there's nothing i need…

  • It sure looks like a price error. I wonder if they'll honor it. I ordered one anyway!

    where did you get it for $50+5 online?
    Oh I just re-read. So they sold it for $50 before… maybe it's a clearance rather than a price error.

    • +1

      When I ordered mine last week, it was advertised as $50, and they charged me $5.50 for shipping. All up, $55. When I did get the box today, it had a $100 price tag on em tho!

      to be honest, they are the top of the range. So I wonder why they would be on clearance. Either way, its a bargain deal! almost 1/5th of the retail price :D

  • Is this online only or they have it in store too?

    • The store rep mentioned they have 30% off, so I am assuming its online and instore as well. I am not sure how much it retails for in store. In the box I received, it had a price tag of $100 on it.

      • Just back from my local store. They have 30% off on all compressions. But my local store doesnt have this Coldblack one. I'm not sure if it is $50 instore. Guess it is a price error.

    Do they have any deals for compression shorts? I think I kinda went overboard with this deal here…

    • Has anyone ever tried wearing multiple compression tights before? :D

  • I ordered one yayaya

  • +1

    The benefit of this is to make sun reflect better off a black surface? Why not wear a white t-shirt? What am I missing?

    • Compression is the main feature here, it does have UV protection also.

      • +5

        Thanks, I then searched for Compression tops and it explains. I might get one for when I'm playing multi player video games.

        • LOL it really works, placebo or not. I recover faster when wearing them.

        • I ordered one, I'll wear it just to make my wife laugh. Then one day when I might decide to exercise, I'll slap it on.

        • +4

          I did a test once, I wore only one side of my long compression pants after a long ride.

          The next morning there was a noticeable difference between the two legs. But I haven't repeated it several times yet, for confirmation.

        • That genuinely made me laugh out loud, thanks.

        • +4

          Yeah that wasn't your leg.

    • +1

      You made a good point sir.

      This coldblack fabric was supposed to keep you cooler during sun exposure. I think the technology was suposed to make you feel cooler while wearing darker colours. To keep cooler, nothing beats a white t-shirt.

      • Thanks for that link, impressive technology but doesn't compete with a cheap and simple alternative.

  • Grabbed one - hoping also a good long sleeve option for running in the colder months without having to go layers.

    Either way, $40 delivered for a rrp $150 top is a nice buy.

    Hopefully the tops run to standard sizes - chose medium

    Thanks OP.

  • I think Coldblack is their summer range, they focus on thermal at this of year. I get too hot while working out even in winter. Great deal thanks OP.

    • +2

      Aww. Many people work out to become hot. ;)

    • Spot on - I just wanted something with long sleeves that wicks away moisture so I can run in winter with something that deflects the wind a tad.

  • Thanks bought 2.hope they don't do a bait and switch on me.

    • +1

      I don't think bait and switch really works online…

  • its coming up as $10 shipping for me to Sydney

    • yeah me 2. i wonder if this is online only?

    • Yeah, same for Brisbane.

      • It was $5 for me, in Brisbane.

        • hmmm, how strange. I'm in 4000 too…
          Shipping from rebel seems to be all over the place.

        • +1

          Maybe their tagline "At Rebel, our shipping is all over the place" wasn't referring to locations?

  • Good find, thanks!

  • +1

    Thanks OP, finally used my gift card.

    $40.52 total delivered to Melbourne. Paid $40 with gift card and 52c with credit card.

    • Which part of Melbourne ?
      Am seeing 10 for CBD, and same for South East suburbs.

      • This was for the West, postcode 3023

        • Thanks mate.. seems like they have their warehouse in west or something.

  • Cheers, ordered 2. These will be great for my Ninja Warrior training.

    Although last time I ordered online from Rebel it took them 2 weeks to tell me they didn't have the item and refund me. Not expecting much here…

  • I put in one inner-Melbourne postcode and it said freight was $40! Put in my home postcode - still metro - and it was the expected $5. Sheesh - no prize for guessing where I chose to have it shipped!

  • +1

    Bah, no large left.

  • No large online.

    Is this price the same in store?

  • +5

    Great way to show off my flabs

  • Great get - have been looking for these and a good price!

    Thanks OP

  • $15 deliver for Metro Sydney is a bit steep.

  • +2

    Bought one, but don't have high hope that it'll be delivered. Rebel sport is probably THE WORST store i've had to deal with for online items. Had a lot of issues in the last couple of weeks with buying a soccer jersey and jacket off them.

    • Hey draistlin, regarding your jersey orders what happened to yours? Im still waiting for mine, checked my order online and its missing so I sent them an email with no reply…

      • +1

        Hey, I got mine last Friday, I know that there were some who didn't get theirs, so I would definitely call up and complain.

  • +2

    Just bought two from the Rebel store at the same price, so it;s not online only deal. Thanks OP!!!

  • Had one in my cart but was "out of stock" when I tried to check out. They must have fixed the error online

    • They still have small ones

  • Bugger, same thing happened to me..

  • I have 2 x XL, if anyone is interested in swapping for 2 x L PM me.

  • whats the sizing like on this?

    • +1

      I tried in store. I didnt find difference between S and M. They are both damn tight!

      • Thanks mate.

        anyone know the height, weight and chest measurements for small or medium?

  • Only small is left in stock, go to your local stores people!

  • Mid city in Sydney is sold out. The difference I noticed between the sizes is the tightness of the top under the armpits .

  • no click n collect?

  • Size Medium is out of stock it seems… Too late for the compression parade! :(

  • Do these keep u warm?

    • It is not a thermal. But if you use it for exercise, yes it will.

  • Dont know why but i just bought one. Thanks OP( or not).

  • I don't even know if a size small will fit!!!!! :((((

  • Bought a small using one of the Rebel gift cards too… 52c, absolute steal.

    I think I'm a small… I'm 178 tall and weigh 65kg. Roughly 85cm around the waist so according to the size chart a small is for me… Hoping it's a good fit and not too tight considering most shirts I buy are medium.

    • Sizing is based on chest circumference for these (not waist). Looks like small is 86cm to 94cm at widest point - as a guide.

      I was fortunate to score a medium - if it ships - before they sold out.

    • I want the Flash one. rebel sports doesn't sell them :(

  • Sad news, its sold out for all sizes.

  • You can still order small, try refreshing

  • +1

    Small is still available!

  • 404 page not found.

    They removed the product darn it! Might try in store.

  • Yeah try in store, took the last M at Airport West, VIC off the shelf today :)

  • Took the last S from Mount Druitt, no other sizes available. Instore price is $149.99 less 30% would equate to $105. I needed to show them the online price (from my Iphone) and they used the $35 online price ($50 less 30%) at the counter with manager's approval.

  • +1

    Came back from Melbourne Central store. The price tag is $149.99 but is still $35 in the system. The register girl was surprise when she scanned the price. Didn't need manager's approval.

    There is still:
    1 x small
    2 x medium
    1 x extra large
    Look for the blue box.

    So yeah, a casual shopper browsing wouldn't know about the price. Thanks ozbargain!

    • I must've gotten there right after you. I picked up the last small. I saw the price tag and asked for a price check first but the girl knew staight away it was $35 :)

      Thanks OP!

  • Westpoint Blacktown still has 2 X Small and 1 X Medium (30 minutes ago)

  • +1

    Sale is still on, just visited the stores listed below and they have the following left:
    Center point (Bourke st Melbourne)
    1 x XS

    Melbourne Central
    1 x XL

    Doncaster
    1 x M

    Make sure you ask the staff for a price check as it is definitely in the system as $35.

  • Mine arrived today by courier. Went for a swim tonight and tried it on when I got home.

    Got the right size but jeepers they are one tight little number! Was warmed up still from my swim and still almost managed to pull a muscle trying to get that sucker off!

    Does make you feel like you're capable of super-human things - probably delirium caused by restricted blood flow!

    • Get someone to help you, there is a technique but I forget what it was.

  • Anyone else received yet? Mine is still processing. Damn slow.

    • Still processing on mine too.. no updates. I'll call them today.

  • got mine yesterday :)

  • Called and was told that they cannot fulfill my order, out of stock and I'll get a refund in a couple of days.

    Oz bargained! :(

    • This is what I'm expecting given my previous experiences. They seem to be horrible at monitoring stock…

  • +1

    Hand washed mine this morning and the dye leaked a lot, which hasn't been much of an issue with my other compression clothing. So don't make the mistake of adding it to a wash with other garments..

  • ordered medium, order status is still processing. No phone calls but I have received a refund of 52 cents. Wonder what will happen to my $40.00 gift card…

    • Where did you get the refund to?

      I just checked my order, status still says Processing and when I clicked on the "Download Order Summary (PDF)" link…it throws out a 404 not found message. hmmmm

      • To my amex account.

  • My order is now officially deleted from my account. No notification given. Don't know what will happen to my $40 gift card.

    • Have you try to call them?

      My order has gone from "Last Week" list but still appears in "Last Month" with same "Processing" status…

      hmm.. got a feeling my order is probably gonna get cancelled too

    • Damnit…cancelled.. :( just got an email

      I hope they'll refund my gift card credits too

  • Yep got this email, below for the cancelled order.

    I replied if I can wait for more stock to come or if they had other sizes available. I doubt I will be in luck
    Thank you for your email.

    I have just had a look into your order and unfortunately the Skins A400 Coldblack tops you ordered have become unavailable due to no remaining stock.

    We are currently in the process of issuing your refund.

    Apologies for any inconvenience and for not updating you sooner.

    Kind Regards,

    Rebel Online Team.

    • At least they replied with a decent response

      Unfortunately we don't know if or when the stock will be replenished. It appears most sizes have been sold out during the compression sale.

      Although they are not feeder stores to supply stock for online orders, Castle Hill and Parramatta each appear to have one size medium in stock. You would have to contact the stores directly to confirm whether they have them and purchase in store.

      .

  • Has anyone got any luck trying to get the refund?

    • I never received any emails saying it was out of stock, and they didn't reply my email asking about it.

      However I suddenly got a paypal refund a few days ago.
