This is so helpful! Researching gear for an upcoming event and this was exactly what I needed. The summary spreadsheet is a blessing (I’m an accountant by trade and you know how we LOVE to put things in spreadsheets!!) Thanks!

Love the information! I just spent a couple of hours researching skirts, and your information was great! It would be nice to see these skirts on all body types though . . . some of the sites only show the skirt itself. susan's last blog post..By: Marci G

I normally wear long compression shorts because, not being blessed with long, lean legs, everything else tends to make me chafe, no matter how heavily I slather on the Body Glide. I’d like to try the skirts out, but I’m worried about chafing. Are the attached shorts long enough?

Thank you so much for your review! I didn’t know running skirts were available, but I love the idea of being a more feminine runner. I am going to try your advice and buy some of the favorites to try out. This helped me along to figure out where to start and what to look for!
Thanks again!

I thought I was crazy at my last race. I didn’t realize that running skirts existed. I thought those poor girls had wandered into the tennis section. Thanks for straightening me out. I might just go buy one this weekend and try it out.

I have three running skirts from Target’s C9 brand. Love all of them.

I have tried a number of different skirts, but have been happiest with my (black/pink) atalanta skirt. I have the one with the briefs and they never creep or ride up. Plus there is nothing between my legs to chafe! They have two pockets that seem to be offset to the sides more than normal which means my gels never get in the way of my hip flexors. It’s soo cute and fun.

Great info on the running skirts in both articles! I have ones from Nike & Adidas that both have the compression short underneath, and Runningskirts.com skirts with the brief. So far, I like them all, however, Runningskirts.com offers a lot of color selections and combinations. I never thought I would like the running shirts,but they are comfortable, and there’s that “girl-y” aspect to it.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my inspiration skirt from Atalanta. It’s soo lightweight and soft. I never thought I’d run in a skirt, but now can’t see myself going back! It’s super comfy and I feel so free, bounding across the trails – like a kid all over again.

Wow! Thanks for the comprehensive review and great feedback.

Just want to note that unfortunately, atalanta’s commitment skirt was not included in the review… I have a very strong feeling the shorts on this one would have also been a pleaser. They tend to stay in place very very well indeed. If you’d like to try for yourself – you can use the promocode perfectten for a 10% discount.
