Why wear outdoor skirts?

Functional materials, sporty designs and complete freedom of movement - these are outdoor skirts. They inspire sportswomen of every level, because they can insulate or have very airy and breathable properties, depending on the area of use. The skirts convince with an unbeatable mix of practicality and trendy look. Sporty outdoor skirts are made of functional materials such as polyester, nylon and spandex. Due to the materials with a high stretch content, the feminine fashion pieces ensure a perfect fit and maximum comfort. In addition, the sports skirts are easy to maintain and quickly transport moisture away to the outside. For more ambitious sports activities, so-called skorts are a good choice. This is a combination of a skirt and a short that allows runners and bikers to connect a nice outfit with practical performance.

What features do sports skirts have?

Outdoor skirts are often equipped with practical pockets that provide enough storage space for our personal belongings. But also simply to stow the hands sometimes. The garments are a good choice for everyone - whether sporty or fashion-conscious women. Flowing cuts and stylish colors flatter every figure and are best suited for women. Special embroideries, fashion labels or patterns add an individual touch to the skirts. No wonder that the sports skirts, originally designed as functional clothing, now appeal to a wider audience. Skirts are also perfect for a stroll around town or leisurely walks and have long since gained popularity. They can be super combined with fashionable functional shirts, running shirts and tops. Manufacturers like Maloja, Jack Wolfskin and Ragwear recognized the potential of outdoor skirts some time ago and have since been tinkering with bringing skirts to the next level in terms of function.

Outdoor skirts for summer or winter?

Good news in advance: we outdoor enthusiasts do not have to choose at all, because there are skirts for warm as well as cold temperatures. The difference lies only in the materials designed for them. Insulating outdoor skirts and winter skirts are especially suitable for sports like ski touring, winter hiking or snowshoeing. They are lined with extra warm material and provide a pleasant warmth to the pelvis and thighs. Often padded synthetic fiber filling is used for this purpose, as it is very light, quick-drying and warming. The synthetic filling is available in various degrees of density. The denser the filling material, the greater the insulating effect. Alternatively, brand manufacturers also offer natural down skirts, which further increase the insulating power due to their feathers. A winter skirt does not restrict freedom of movement and can be worn over ski pants, hiking pants or outdoor tights without any problems. If it's warm enough outside in summer anyway, you can't do anything with insulating properties of a skirt. That's why lightweight and well-ventilated outdoor skirts are especially interesting for women at this time of the year. For fitness, running, trail running or hiking, female athletes resort to breathable and air-permeable materials, which ensure proper ventilation. With such sports skirts, motivation comes all by itself!

Long or short?

Whether a long or short outdoor skirt should be chosen depends, as with so many items of clothing, on personal preferences and the corresponding area of use. Whereby it can be mentioned in advance that long skirts are preferably worn in the urban outdoor range. For sports, this length is less suitable, because the freedom of movement is limited. Long skirts are perfect for a walk, a stroll through the city, beach days or when traveling. If you can not do without sports in your free time, you should rather choose a short skirt. With a short sports skirt, the wearer has unrestricted freedom of movement, which is an advantage especially in more intensive sports such as running, climbing, ski touring or hiking. Definitely helpful for active ladies.
