Moving Comfort Endurance Skort

I like to run. Lots. I usually run about 50 miles a week, more if I have time to squeeze in longer runs between school and work. I have one ancient pair of fraying hot pink running shorts that I run in, every day. Snow, rain, sun… Doesn’t matter. I’ve always hit the trails in my awful hot pink shorts. So when Moving Comfort approached me and asked me to test their Endurance Skort, a running skirt, I was a little hesitant, for a few different reasons. First, how could I possibly leave my hot pink shorts behind? They’ve seen me through hundreds of runs. I felt like I was betraying my best friend… Second, it’s a skirt! Why would I run in a skirt? This was my first question for Moving Comfort- if my shorts function just fine, why in the world would I need to run in a skirt? After getting the run down (no pun intended, haha!), I decided to give them a try.

Moving Comfort claims that running in a skort is more comfortable than running in shorts. Running shorts ride up, wedge themselves in unsightly places, and if you’ve got a pair with that built in mesh liner, you know you’ve spent part of your run digging that thing out of the same aforementioned unsightly place. The principle behind the skort is that there’s a thin, spandex short underneath the skirt, functioning as a liner that doesn’t work its way upwards as you run. Then, the skort on top serves two purposes: 1. To cover up those thin spandex shorts and 2. To look stylish while doing it.

Moving Comfort Endurance Skort: Features

• Boy Shorts: I suppose you could look at it as the “business” end of the skort: they wick away moisture, provide compression, and come with a “crotch gussett” (read- built-in underwear in the shorts). Since they’re made of a very thin material, you don’t have excess material rubbing anywhere while you run.
• Wrap Around Skirt: The “party” end of the the skort. This layer covers the compression shorts and provides that little bit of style the Endurance Skort is known for. The skirt has a slit in the front and darts in the back to really allow it to move with you.
• Internal key pocket
• Non-rolling elastic waistband with a drawstring, so you can really adjust the skort to fit you.

Moving Comfort Endurance Skort: The Numbers

• Comes in sizes XS-2X. I’m normally a size small in shorts, and this was consistent with Moving Comfort’s products: I wear a size small skort. True to size!
• Boy short inseam = 3 inches.
• Skirt inseam = 13.5 inches
• Cost = $42.00

Overall, I think my favorite feature of the Skort was the ability to go straight from my run to running errands without looking like a total doofus in my hot pink shorts. The skort looks stylish, and when you’re out grocery shopping, getting a hair cut, or just takin’ care of business, you’re the only one who knows about those compression boy shorts underneath!

Right now, none of our vendors are carrying the Endurance Skort. However, you can check it out on Moving Comfort’s website!
