The Power of the Skort!

[KnottedYet]

One, the commuter looks really short. Which doesn't bother me in particular since I have worn said road shorts in public, but is the commuter skort so short that it isn't any more "decent" on a middle-aged woman than the bike shorts would be?

Two, is it comfortable when riding?

Three, do they seem to run small, or large, or just right?

ONE. It's not that short. (the RACER is SHORT) The Commuter Skort quite decent on my middle-aged bod. The edge of the skirt is about 2 inches longer than the shorts. I wear it when I'm not riding, too. Here I am wearing it in a triathlon. http://www.brightroom.com/view_user_...photos&BIB=307

TWO. It is very comfortable riding. The skirt doesn't catch on anything, and it just blows out of the way in the wind. It doesn't wad up under my butt, either. And when I want to "smooth" it out, I just stand up in the pedals for a second, then sit back down. The chamois is middle-of-the-road. The outer thigh pocket (on the shorts) is GREAT.

THREE. They seem to run true to size. I'm 5'8" and usually a size 12 now. I bought mine (XL) when I was about 50 lbs. heavier. It was too small then, but it was on sale and I wanted it. It's a bit big now, but I still love it. If/when I buy another commuter skort I will get a L.
