commuter skorts?

[werf]

i own a sugoi wrap-around and a terry commuter skort. i like the style of the sugoi lots more than the terry, but the sugoi only comes in black. does anyone know of any other good commuter skort options out there?
Thanks In Advance,

I have a Louis Garneau one that I like a lot, but I'm not sure what the Terry and Sugoi are like, so I don't know if you would like it. It comes with shorts underneath, but they aren't attached so you can wear any pair you want. The skirt came in black, cream and glacier. The glacier is a like a light grey with a tint of blue color.

thanks for the info, i'll start surfing the net for the louis garneau "cover up". a light blue would likely be very nice to wear @ work. (i enjoy FUNCTIONAL clothing that allows me to bike to work comfortably and safely and still look good enough to not have to change once i'm there. i wonder why more bike clothing companies don't make commuter skorts?)

Did you look at Team Estrogen? Lots of skirts you can put over your favorite pair of shorts.

I think a lot of the clothing manufacturers are making skorts and skirts both. Check Pearl Izumi for one. I suspect that new ones will be making their way to the stores with the spring clothing runs.

that's a good idea. i'm so "anti-skirts" in general that i hadn't thought of that option.
merci beaucoup!

Have you checked out skirt sports? They have a few other colors available. I have the black one and love it. I also have their gym skirt and running skirt, which I love and wear for training, marathons, and half marathons. All the skirts are super comfortable and have fit me well. And their return policy is lenient if you get the wrong size. Click on Bike Girl on this link:

I have a nice fitting Sheebeast skirt (though in black) that has padded shorts attached. The back waistband is cut slightly higher than the front band, which I like because it doesn't cut off my mid section. They have no seams and the fabric is top notch. I can put these in the dryer and they have never shrunk.

On that matter, though, what's the general feeling about wearing skirts vs pants? Can I wear mine wherever I wish? Do they tend to hang up on one's seat? I ask after noticing there aren't any women's bike teams sporting skirts as the bottom half of their uniforms...

I have the sugoi wrap skirt that I love. I also have a couple of terry skorts that I don't care for at all. In fact now that I think about it, I cut the wrap off, kept the shorts and tossed the skirt part.

I have the shebeest cycloskorts. I had one for 2 years that transitioned from MTB to road and still looks brand new (washer to dryer) so I just got two new ones.

I've seen some on sale at REI.outlet - maybe you'll see something there you'll like.
