A new trend in women's sports apparel?
Edited on Mon Sep-10-07 01:03 PM by Jimbo S
For the women athletes out there who feel they aren't "girly-girl" enough. I think this is weird, like there's some fundie message behind this. What do you think? Does it look cool or is it OK and I should just chill out?

1. If this was a fundie ploy you'd think they make the skirt just a tad bit longer
I think they're neat

2. well, there always has to be something to make us "different"
it's not enough that we ARE different.... we have to just keep announcing it over and over and over again.

3. Seems like it would limit the range of motion a bit
and frankly, kind of stupid.

4. I dunno, I imagine there's a market for it
among the "girly" teenage types. Looks uncomfortable to run in imo.

6. Looks like a split-decision
Lynne has a point regarding the skirt's length.

7. I suppose if you were athletic enough to be running in those super short shorts
that look like a swimsuit bottom, this might be a nicer option. Personally I wear long workout pants. Don't want to frighten anyone with my hideous legs.

9. I'd give it a shot
Actually sometimes when i'm doing a long workout some of my shorts can start to chafe the inner thighs... so not comfy.

10. Jealous of Runningkilts?
Probably saw the guys in their Running Kilts and said "Hey why not us too?"
