Since I am a mompreneur myself, one of my passions is connecting with and chatting about other mom’s ideas and products that I think are unique and useful, especially since I am spreading the word that:
FIT MOMS = FIT FAMILIES = FIT BUSINESS.
Mom-owned company Bskinz is just that, and is simultaneously blazing a path in the compression shorts arena. Bskinz is owned and operated by two stay at home moms from northern NJ ready to reenter the workforce. They started as a small sports team apparel business, which furnished local teams with custom screened apparel. One day a team of cross-country girls approached them wanting hot pink spandex compression shorts to wear under their game shorts. On their quest to find them, they discovered that none of the large manufacturers such as Under Armour or Nike made fashion oriented colors for girls compression. Not satisfied with just the basic black, white and sometimes navy, they decided to launch our own line. It was then that Bskinz was born.
What also sets Bskinz apart is their customization process. When ordering you could get one pattern for your left leg and if you choose, another for your right. How cool is that? My daughter thought that was awesome and based on Bskinz success, she is not alone in her thinking. Bskinz is distinguishing themselves alright.
Bskinz sent me their product to give it a whirl. As a runner, I could not wait to put these to the test on my next outdoor adventure. One of the first things I noticed is the quality of the capris. The stitching is top notch and the spandex itself is thicker, yet still breathable. After having laced up my shoes, I headed out the door.
Alright fellow running junkies out there, you know what “chafing” is and how it is one of the most uncomfortable things that can happen to you out on the road. After a 6 mile run in my awesome Bskinz, I returned home with nothing bleeding! Not to mention, I didn’t have to interrupt my run by having to pull up my pants as with other pants that I’ve tried. Best thing since the Nike Women’s Marathon’s Tiffany finisher’s necklace….well, almost!
Since that first run, I find myself reaching again and again for my Bskinz, even more so since winter. I have discovered that Bskinz makes a great base layer for cold weather running.
What more could I ask for? Breathability, made in the USA, developed and launched by mompreneurs, supporting girl sports teams and the local economy, stylish and true to performance, not to mention it dried quickly. Oh yeah, did I mention a couple of FIT MOMS came up with the idea? Rock on Bskinz, you are definitely FIT FOR A MOM!
Don’t just take my word for it, check out the many styles and patterns yourself over at: www.bskinz.com
P.S. One teeny, tiny recommendation….placing a little pocket on the inside so us FIT MOMS could put a key or a GU in there
Patterned and colorful girls compression wear with a tag line of B-Active, B-You. After all isn’t that what every girl wants – to be active and yet express themselves fashionably! I could not have said it better Bskinz.
