Yes to Fetch Flanci skorts and shorts.

Can anyone compare the warmth/flee cubes of Flanci winter leggings vs Sturdy by Design?

I’m thinking of adding a pair to my birthday wish list as we have just booked a trip to Iceland in December.

Ideally I’d like to wear them as an extra layer under walking trousers when we’re out doing photography and then wear them as more casual gear in our accommodation/looking round Rekjyavik

I like Nordic and Winter Arctic Blast in Sturdy and Evergreen in Flanci.

My Tikiboos are chaffing me :-(

I wore a pair of my tiki shorts for a marathon the weekend before last - not new ones - and afterwards I looked like someone had put cheese wire around my waist.

I've just been out for a run in a pair of tiki capris and my back is in bits :-(

I've lost a bit of weight over the last few months but they don't feel loose and they're certainly not tight.

Anyone else had this problem?

I haven't any SbD's, Scribbler, so can't compare, but have got Flanci winter leggings. They are thicker than the standard leggings and I find them warm but they are not as thick as the fleece lined walking leggings that I've got (Dare2B I think). The flancis would go under walking trousers.

That sounds painful, Minardi :(

Minardi yes, this is my problem with tikiboos! I’ve been getting marks around the waist all summer. The chafe isn’t as bad on cold days though! I’ve come to the conclusion that my shape (not my weight so much) has changed! The new sturdies I purchased seem to be a better fit!

Cheers Jelly - I'll have to get Tikiboos off the list that I'm sure my mum makes when I suggest ideas for gifts for me!

Does anyone have suggestions for good knee length running socks? I like my skorts so much I'd like to keep wearing them in the depths of autumn and early spring.

Sockies have some funky socks but I also just buy compression knee length socks from eBay or Amazon.
