Anyone tried running skirts.com?

[lil mermaid]

Has anyone tried one of these before http://www.runningskirts.com/ They look really really cute - but I am a little nervous about trying one. I am afraid of revealing too much. And they are kind of expensive.

For those who have tried... Are they comfortable? Does the skirt fly up when you run or the wind blows??? Thanks!

Many of us have. I live in a windy area and have had no porblem with wind.

There's a lot more info here:

Get one!!! I think most of the ladies here who have tried one really like it. The Athletic cut is a bit longer and the one I use. The legs tend to ride up a bit during the first mile, but after they will stay in place.

We have a few ladies are addicited to running skirts!

I think I am going to try one...the all pink color is on sale in my size for $24. That is half price!!

Yes, they seem like a hit for the most part around here. I have 3 skirts from runningskirts.com. (navy/white, black/aqua, and black/grape) I have been happy with them and they have done great on my long and windy runs. I like how lightweight they are. I also recently bought an Adidas "supernova" running skirt in black. It's another favorite of mine, it has compression shorts under it. I am starting to see more and more women wearing skirts while running around where I live.

Here is a picture I have in the black aqua skirt from RS.

I bought a maternity one so I have no clue about the regular style, but I like the fit and the fabric. (It's a little thicker and smoother than the skirtsports.com ones I have from last year). The side pocket is nice- I can fit my cell phone in it and it doesn't drive me crazy. That's a great price- I'd try it!

It did take forever to get to me, so I have to confess I've really only used it for walking and very limited running, so I'm not sure if it rides up running.

Caseydilla - you look super adorable in your running skirt. Now I am totally sold!!

hoosmi - I am just totally loving your blog. Doing all that running while pregnant - you are amazing, girlfriend.

I love, love, LOVE my skirts! Count me in as an addict...I have 5... All the running skirt style.

btw, they're not really that short. Ok, maybe it's because I'm short, but looking at my skirt tan lines (I only run in skirts) they are lower than my shorts, so go figure...

i have 5 (soon to be more once the new colors come out). i love them and will run in nothing else. especially in the tx heat...

 

[lil mermaid]

Does anyone know when the new colors come out? Maybe when they do, we can get them to set us up with a Team Discount???

 

[caryndisneydiva]

i had an email from christy almost 2 weeks ago saying that they were coming out "next" week. there was a problem with the warehouse or something and the new colors were just arriving. i can't wait!

 

[cryssi]

woo hoo Caryn!

Hopefully they will be at the DL 1/2 Expo, too, and I can pick some up there...

For what it's worth, i bought 2 running skirts at Walmart made by Danskin, and i LOVE them!! And they were only 10.00 each!!! I just love Danskin, 80% of my wardrobe is Danskin. LOL So, if you want a cheaper but well worth it alternative, check WM! I ran in one at the Minnie 5k, and i have one i am wearing for next March at the 1/2!

do these have compression shorts underneath? or spanks?

 

[lil mermaid]

just to let y'all know, skirtsports.com has quite a few things on sale (like 1/2 off, in some cases) with an additional 10% off. I ordered 2 skirts and a top. The only drawback - shipping is really high.

Bridgetgabbie - you look fantantic in your skirt. And your weight loss stats are amazing. Amazing!

I picked up a running skirt at Target, it was like $18 I think. It has shorts underneath. I really, really love it!
