It was not even 10 minutes after my arrival to Alaska when I saw a woman wearing one of these insulated skirts and I knew I MUST have one. It is basically a jacket for your legs. Wonderful! I searched all the name brands trying to find these insulated skirts, but failed. North Face and Patagonia are missing out big on this. The Anchorage stores are sold out and I was totally bummed, but I was able to find out the name brand:
Skhoop. It is Scandinavian and made in Sweden, but it just so turns out that the distributor lives in downtown Anchorage and we were able to order one offline. I freaking love the thing! They are on the pricey side (thanks Mom for understanding my NEED for fashionable outer wear and funding this), but if you live somewhere cold it is totally a must have. I just put it on over some long underwear and wham I am dressed for the day :)
I have the long original one, but will be in the market for a mid length one next year. Maybe a cute print or color and I definatly need to get some cute long johns to wear underneath. It is so functional! I will be wearing this thing regularly for the rest of my life.
