I wore my legrono skort this morning The shorts rode up a little but not enough to be uncomfortable. How good that'll be on hot sweaty runs though, I'm not sure. Still, for a first wearing, very comfy. There's a lot more fabric in the skirt bit than I'm used to with my Kalenji skort from Decathlon. I felt a bit as if I was running in a 'normal' skirt and wondered if it looked odd, but overall I'm happy with it
Hanneke Mar 2021 3:24pm, 21 Mar 2021 71,678 posts	0 Hanneke I don't wash kit all the time, especially not in winter, unless things get muddy or sweatty. Yesterday, for the first time in years, I got muddy and sweatty so the lot went in the wash but had worn that sports bra for 3 previous little runs, where I didnt break a sweat. Typically, I have merino against my skin, as I find it kerps me both warmer and cooler and doeznt stink. Yesterday, my plastic l/s baselayer and new harriers shirt both were stinky!!! After one wear... So I washed them.

idle_wilder Mar 2021 5:00pm, 21 Mar 2021 2,967 posts	0 idle_wilder I'm a generally sweaty person, so I definitely need to wash my kit after each use (use my gym jumper a couple of times between washes, but that's it!)

Hanneke Mar 2021 6:19pm, 21 Mar 2021 71,687 posts	0 Hanneke I don't sweat easily at all. It has been of concern in the past, but I secrete toxins in other ways... We are all different! Shame, as it means I need less kit 😜
Velociraptor Mar 2021 7:48pm, 21 Mar 2021 51,969 posts	0 Velociraptor I have come home to a bag of raincoats. OMM appears to have scaled down the sizes for the Race 2, for the XS is a close fit on me whereas the original Kamleika and Kamleika Race were quite loose. The Asics yellow raincoat is a lovely fit (I took the advice on the site to go up a size) and the Salomon skort I chucked in because it was cheap and navy blue also fits well. I thought I might be being a bit optimistic getting an XS Salomon garment, but was prepared to give it to Fellmouse or resell it if it was too tight for me. And the kitty leggings
