Pacesetter skirt?

[Deleted]

Anybody run in one?  I just won a dietbet and was thinking I'd treat myself to something LLL.  I'm reading all the reviews and everybody loves it but I always hate retailer reviews vs. board reviews.  So what say ye H&F?  Yay?  Nay?

Congrats on winning DB! How much did you win? I don't have any experience with the Pacesetter skirt - I think it's really cute though! I think @mavjen has at least one though, maybe she can chime in.

I love mine... For short distances. The LLL fan girls will tell you there is no chafe with them, but both times I have gone 13.1 in mine I ended up chafed in horrifying ways.

I think there were 5 other winners. So I think we'll each walk away with $50.

Thanks for the warning about chafing andrealynn.  

@mavjen do you have any thoughts on them?

I just ordered two last week, the 2 way and the 4 way stretch to see what the difference in feel is. Hope I don't have issues with it as I'm hoping to possibly wear it for a Half in May. Yes, I am way ahead of myself here.

Ohhh...can't wait to see a review.

I have one that I got a couple years ago. I got it in long because I thought it looked better than the regular length. The legs have this sticky silicone on the inside bottom hem to keep them from rolling up but I found it to be kinda irritating to the skin and not very functional (still needs adjusting b/c it rides up). I wish they were just tighter like compression running shorts. I like the look of the butt ruffles and the zipper pocket is a good size. The waist band is flattering and the material dries quickly. Overall it is a nice running skirt and I still wear it occasionally. I'm just not in love with the way the shorts legs are lined with the silicone stuff.

Mine ride up like crazy. SO cute, so useless.

Thanks!  I was wondering what they had under the skirt because they never show you in the pictures.  They show every other feature of the dang thing but the short portion.  Okay.  Well I guess I'll just buy some more Wunder Under's instead.  Now if I could just decide on a color/pattern.

Hi ditzydi, I got the 2 and 4 way skirts in the mail yesterday. Tried both of and liked the 2 way better, the 4 felt thinner to me. I haven't taken the tag off to run in them yet so I can't really comment on how they would do during a long run. I got it in the polka dot while I do like the print a lot (I have it in the Speed shorts) I can't decide if I want to hold out for a fun color instead.

Anyway, I think I would enjoy running in it though. The skirt is really cute and the compression shorts underneath should prevent chafing.

Tried it on with the zing pink singlet which I love. Please ignore the bra straps!

If you have monster quads (like me) you'll want the 4 way

I have 2 Pacesetter skirts and I love them. Granted, the most I run is 5 miles but I've had no chafing issues.

jchokie79- Would love to hear your review b/w the 2...

eta: Reading fail- just read the entire thread and saw you already gave one...

Polka dots AND ruffles?! I think I need this.

cransplash, I'm trying to decide if I should keep them or wait for a fun color...

I really like this color combination with the dots!  Is it navy or black?

jchokie79 Thanks for the reviews and love the dots! I'd probably only wear this to 5ks or easy runs around the hood. Definitely would wear something else for longer runs and halfs. I do have huge thighs though so I'll probably go try a few on this weekend after my post half brunch.

[jchokie79]

ditzydi, good luck with your Half this weekend!!! Yeah, last Half I did I wore the Mod Moves crops and really liked it. I love having long pockets for my phone and gels.

[jchokie79]

boston340, it's black with white and gray dots.
