Im considering buying some gear from http://www.skins.net/gb/en/default.aspx I was thinking of getting a top and some shorts. Has anyone used this gear before? what do you think?

That cricketer looks a bit camp.

Use the Skins shorts myself and best quality I have had, got them while in Oz and rarely play without them now, they may seem expensive but well worth the money.

Sounds good. have the shorts lost much tightness over time?

I know a few lads that have canterbury hear and reckon it does not keep you as warm and is prone to tearing,the baselayer tops anyway.

Because I work outside a lot,I wear them during the winter..I find them excellent to be honest.
Bit pricey though i think i paid €50 each for the two baselayers cold tops i have

The shorts are the amazing! unreal I wore them to a couple a matches and dozen trainings, then play a match a train twice with out them, just to test. I found training and games much easier with them on, i was ballsed half throught 2nd half without them. I play hurlin so i didnt buy the top because i thought id be restrictive for me.
