Scott, that's pretty funny. Though, it's not that unusual. I hear guys saying the same thing all the time. We even had a guy wear a skirt in the Red Tail long course adventure race last weekend. Apparently it got rave reviews. No reason why guys shouldn't also have to same option for comfort that gals do! haha!! Scott, that’s pretty funny. Though, it’s not that unusual.

I have at least 5 of them. My favorites are the ones from runningskirts.com - their fabric is light weight and the wide waistband is so flattering - it doesn't squeeze like some of the other skirts I"ve tried with thinner elastic waists. I also prefer the 2 pockets on the side - it's so much easier to access my gels and music without having to reach around my backside and guess at what I am pulling out (and hopefully not pulling up). haha. I love this new trend & that we can run in feminine style. Go Skirts! I am a real running skirts fan also! I have at least 5 of them.

The running shorts kept riding up and causing irritation, so I thought to myself, "There's gotta be something more comfortable than this? Like maybe a skirt or something." (Which I couldn't wear anyway since I'm a guy.) When I got home and logged my miles online, I stumbled upon this article. It's like serendipity, baby!

I am a convert. I expected to prefer the style with the shorts, but found the shorts didn't stay put. So for me I think they are OK for some activities (like say yoga or rowing), but not great for running. The briefs style skirts are comfy and I haven't worn shorts once since getting my latest order in the mail last month. I would prefer a slightly higher waisted and longer skirt when standing around pre/post workout. But during the runs these skirts rock. I wore one for my first marathon at the end of May and was comfortable from start to finish, despite getting soaked by a steady rain. And the customer service from Cindy at RunningSkirts.com has been awesome. Hmm... too bad I can't wear these skirts to work. I now have 6 skirts from RunningSkirts.com (4 with briefs, 2 with shorts).

It's tops on comfort, cool, dry, decency, sexy, expandable waist, 2 mesh pockets for phone, key, cr card, Golf friends envy the comfort & look. My sliming favorites are , black w/silver logo, & black with red. Atlanta skirt replaces skin tight tacky shorts. Gratefully Susan I Love my Atlanta skirt.

And Bex, thank you for responding with seam info. My concern Betsy is how it will fit through the waist. We find in some of our taller girls that the crotch-waist is too short, and are considering the addition of Long and/or Tall sizes. Feel free to email me directly if you have further questions. Cheers heather, atalanta athleticwear hi there Betsy,

You can see the sizing chart on the Atalanta website. For instance, the short inseam for Size II (which is S) is 11 inches. For Size III, it's 11.5 inches, and for Size IV, it's 11.75 inches. For Size V, it's 12.25 inches. Hope that helps! Betsy – the short inseam for the skirt varies depending on size. You can see the sizing chart on the Atalanta website.
