I've had a skirt from techwear skirts in rotation for the third month now — the model is called Vector Fold. When I first saw it, I also thought that it was just a beautiful high-tech thing for aesthetes and fashionistas. But then I tried it on. And you know, the feeling was like from a good sports jacket — it seems unusual, but at the same time you immediately feel that it is comfortable. It does not restrict, does not wrinkle, and feels ... not like a skirt in the usual sense, but like a functional part of the image, like a working element. The fabric is super dense, but lightweight synthetic, similar to ripstop, only softer. It is windproof and really repels water. I got caught in a downpour — yes, my legs were wet, but the skirt itself held up well, dried quickly, and most importantly, did not cling to the body like a rag. It keeps its shape, even if you sit in it on the bus, stand in the subway or jump in puddles. I even rode a bike in it (in regular sneakers and a hoodie), and I didn't feel like I was wearing the "wrong" clothes. There's a lining inside, apparently even with a mesh, so the skirt doesn't stick to your legs. There are pockets - and not fake ones, as they like to do, but real ones: deep, with a zipper, with an internal divider system. Keys, phone, lipstick - everything fits and doesn't dangle. There's also a secret clip for attaching a keychain or card. |
