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 1. Pionierki alpinizmu i mody górskiej cz.1.

 

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?
