Chocolate milk is a good source of carbs, proteins and fat, three essentials to recovery nutrition.
It's ingested, not absorbed.

I use Skins. I find that after the hard training rides and races it does help speed up my recovery. I strongly recommend them. In my opinion, they are an essential part of your recovery. I am looking forward to using the cycling specific gear because I have not used compression garments on the bike. I'm sure there will be performance gains -- just wondering how much!

I used my Travel Recovery Tights for the first time yesterday. In the previous 7 days I had ridden ~210 miles and then boarded a flight to Seattle. That amounted to about 4.5 hours of total flight time with a 1.5 hour layover, a perfect test for the Travel and Recovery tights. Total time worn, 8 hours (house to hotel). The fit was great (XS for 5'9" 131 lbs) though the seams on the feet hooks were a bit annoying. Not too bad, but I could feel the seams as I walked through the airport. They were not uncomfortable at all, though they did bunch up just a tad on the back of my knee when seated. The temperature regulation seemed to work, as if I was in one position for a while then moved I could feel cooler air hit my legs. Weird feeling. My legs did feel different with them on and I have to admit that my legs had never felt that good after such a long flight. When I took them off I could tell a difference also. Unfortunately I can't really "test" the recovery aspect of them as I don't have my bike, but I plan on hitting the hotel bike for some intervals later. So far so good though.
