note
from our head skirt I have a story for you. Many years ago a young man and woman got married at a strip-mall chapel in Lake Tahoe in the middle of a blinding snowstorm. They spent the next fifteen years focused on a life filled with athletic adventure, personal advancement and career fulfillment. They won Ironman triathlons. They started a ground-breaking women's fitness clothing business. They grew up together. Along the way, they scoffed at those people who asked them, "When are you going to have kids?" Everywhere they looked, screaming children were being chased around by stressed-out parents. They asked themselves, "Why would we want that?" One day they realized they were closing on forty and things were changing. They were seeing a bigger picture; one where sitting on the couch watching television every night was not as exciting anymore! Who knows why things changed, but they did. When they realized they were about to miss out on the greatest adventure yet, they looked at each other and said, "It took us a while, but I think we're ready. Screaming children? We're Ironman athletes; this should be no problem!" Yes, that couple is me and Tim. Late bloomers? Maybe. Does it matter? I hope not! As of the printing of this catalog, we are in the home stretch of our newest project - Baby-making! And just like our Fall 2012 collection, we know it will be an UNTAMED CELEBRATION, the likes of which we cannot fully imagine! And the moral of the story is... Never say Never! Thanks for your support over the years - We will need it now more than ever! Enjoy!

Ice Queen Ultra Jacket The zip-off hood is my new fav feature. p 13
Ice Queen Ultra Skirt Adjustable leggings are the key. No more inseam discrimination. p 11

skirt sports comfort system The reason we want the world to Convert to Skirt is because we believe our clothes offer women the best choice of attractive, feminine apparel with all the most important details to keep them comfortable whether they are working out or going out. We’ve created the Skirt Comfort System to ensure that every item of our apparel delivers three important benefits:
SKIRT
SKIRT
SKIRT
Skirt Dry keeps skin dry and comfortable. Every single item of Skirt Sports clothing is constructed of technical fabric and wicks moisture away from skin. Every fabric is chosen carefully, and each garment is sewn to minimize chafe and feel wonderful next to the skin.
Skirt Range. Is the weather hot, mild or cold? We choose our fabrics and construct our clothing to layer so that active women can workout wearing the appropriate weight and type of apparel. You can choose your clothing for the day knowing that temperatures and your needs may change!
Skirt Go keeps you organized. Did you know that every one of our bottoms have at least one pocket or feature to help keep essentials close? Women have to multi-task every moment of the day, and Skirt Sports builds delightful little surprise pockets to hold keys, lip balm, balls, music players, water bottles, nutrition, cell phones, and even your race number on the big day.
