GET INSPIRED! Stylish active wear - ideas from Skirt Sports

In Poland it's winter time and most runners and joggers (like me) moved to the gyms, but maybe Christmas and New Year resolutions' times are good for making a runners wish list and trying moving outdoors. Here are some ideas from Skirts Sports.

Climbing in a skirt. Mammut Refine Skort. Wspinanie w spódnicy.

One more skirt for sport! This time the first climbing skirt: the Mammut Refine Skort. However, it looks that it wasn’t such a best-seller, as it’s not available on their web any more. But still it’s worth checking.

A co ze wspinaniem? Wspinaczka w spódnicy? Szwajcarska firma Mammut postanowiła zadbać o wygląd pań na ścianach i połączyła spódnicę z uprzężą Refine Skort.

Look good and feel good. Skirt Sports

Running in a skirt or dress? Sounds like the essence of feminine dress when doing workout. I was a bit surprised (but positively) when I found a company specializing in sports skirts! Unfortunately, they don’t sale them in Poland…

Skirt Sports company was born from an idea of looking more like a unique and feminine than a boy when running. Nicole DeBoom, a professional triathlete came with that idea and in 2004 ran in a prototype of the very first running skirt at Ironman Wisconsin. She won it with people cheering “Go, Skirt!”. Finally in 2005 Skirt Sports was officially launched. Thanks to an article in Running World Magazine, buzz and publicity about the new concept, Skirt Sports was created! In 2007, Skirt Sports expanded to other lines designed for multisport enthusiasts, including cycling and swimming, too! So be inspired and convert to skirt!

Skirt Sports please come to Poland! :)

Mountaineering Fashion History Part 2 / Historia mody górskiej, cz. 2 - Henry Warwick-Coleman

Book cover 'A lady’s Tour Round Monte Rosa'

During 1850’s Mrs. Henry Warwick-Coleman made three extended trips to the Alps. Her publication “A lady’s Tour Round Monte Rosa” was the first made by a female alpinist in English.

W latach pięćdziesiątych XIX wieku Pani Henry Warwick-Coleman zorganizowała aż trzy wyprawy w Alpy. Jej publikacja “A lady’s Tour Round Monte Rosa” była pierwszą angielskojęzyczną książką, w dodatku napisaną przez kobietę alpinistkę.

Imagine there is no goretex waterproofness, no primaloft insulation and hight-tech mountainnering boots. Instead you are equipped with bonnet, flannel shirt and heavy dress. Could you climb Mont Blanc in that costume? Freezing already?

 

Jak to możliwe ze prawie dwieście lat temu, bez goretxów i primaloftów, kobiety zdobywały najwyższe góry Europy i świata?! Jak były ubrane by nie zamarznąć po drodze i nadal pozostać w zgodzie z obowiązującymi w tamtych czasach obyczajami?

 

Polish is good ;) Dobre z Polski - MARABUT

As a patriotic outdoor girl I’d like to support great Polish companies, which are producing outdoor gear and apparel. Even though they are from Eastern Europe, their products of great quality and price, can compete with western companies.

Zaczynam cykl ‘Dobre z Polski’. Uważam, że warto wspierać nasze polskie firmy produkujące sprzęt i odzież outdoorową, gdyż dorównują jakością i konkurują ceną ze znanymi zagranicznymi markami. Na początek MARABUT - firma produkująca namioty

HighTech Bra

First Warning Systems

That's great if you finally bought your perfect sports bra, but, (as there is always BUT) there is an important issue women should be aware of – breast cancer. 

 

 Skoro już postanowiłaś kupić, a może nawet już posiadasz idealny sportowy biustonosz, pamiętaj również o badaniu piersi.

Can you believe that 44% of women who exercise regularly do not wear sports bras? Most have never even tried one on and believe they do not need one. Women are spending huge amounts on gym memberships, smart fabric clothes and high performance sport shoes, but missing the most vital piece of exercise equipment - a sports bra.

Ginger and the Tent

I've just got my first tent - Marabut Khumbu - I'm supporting Polish brand. Soon you will find a review and a special report from setting it up in my garden (just waiting for a better weather). Manual seems easy ...

Nareszcie dorobiłam się własnego namiotu! Marabut Khumbu, trzeba wspierać dobre polskie marki. Już niedługo pojawi się recenzja i relacja z rozkładania namiotu w ogrodzie. Czekam na lepsze warunki pogodowe (ciągle pada). Instrukcja obsługi nie wygląda na bardzo skomplikowaną, chyba....
