With the very chilly winter we have been having, I realized that I’ve really come to rely on my Skirt Sports Gemini jacket quite a bit this year. I noticed that most of my pictures the last few months have me wearing one of my jackets. As you may know, I am a Skirt Sports Ambassador however, I was not asked to write this nor am I compensated in any way for my thoughts. Just sharing the love!
So why do I love it so much?
First of all, it’s reversible! One side has a soft fleece material that keeps me super warm. The “shiny” is wind proof and water proof. Win Win! I usually wear the shiny side out. I love the fashionable look of the shine and the relaxed yet contoured fit. The jacket hits right at the top of my butt so not too long or too short. I find the sleeves are the perfect length. The 2 side pockets are large enough to hold my phone and my keys. The back pocket can hold fuel or a phone as well. I find it’s the perfect jacket for temps in the mid 20’s to mid 30’s.
- Reversible (wear fleece or laminate side out)
- Front length (Medium): 26”
- Semi-relaxed fit
- Waterproof and wind-proof, breathable four-way stretch laminated fleece
- Fabric is 100% Polyester and the weight is 130/gm/m2
- Laminated side has two hand warming pockets and one 5” zippered back pocket on middle back
- Fleece side has one chest pocket accessible from both sides
- 1.5” droptail back
- 3M ScotchlightTM Reflective Material elements for low light visibility
After wearing it constantly for the last few months, I realized I “needed” another Gemini! The black has a shiny stylish look that almost makes me feel like one of “The Pink Ladies” in Grease LOL. This is one of those jackets that I think looks way better on than it does in the photos. Seriously, if my husband knew I just bought another jacket! The reflective material in the black is way more noticeable which is a great feature.
Looks like both the pink and the black are currently on sale for $70 so if you’re interested you can also use my discount code for another 20% off (SSCMR20)

It is really cute! Isn’t it funny how you pick one thing, and just wish you could wear it all day every day…..if people weren’t going to notice hahhaha! Love it 🙂

Yes I know and then I noticed that all my pics had the same jacket in them! It is so comfy though.
I can’t wait to get mine! You’ve totally sold me on this jacket LOL. (That and the fact that my other jacket was in the wash on one of the cold days…)

You are going to love it really! I am so glad that I got the second color too.
Very cute jacket. My favorite jacket at the moment is my Brooks Pure Project Shelter Jacket. It looks like a blazer with great reflective stripes, so it is great for early morning runs.

Ooh that sounds like a cool jacket too.
The jacket is really flattering and cute! I think you NEEDED the black one and the hubs doesn’t need to know 🙂
I agree totally! Thankfully I don’t think he reads this LOL
You look great girl! Both of those jackets look good on you! I just got the black gemini at the Skirt Sports run clinic the other night and I can’t wait to wear it today!!

Thanks! I know you will love it too! So jealous that you get to go to their events
Very cute! I just saw a Skirt Sports lightweight jacket for sale on 6pm.com that is super cute too!

ooh didn’t know they had them on there too. This one is a great deal for sure!
Very cute jacket. I don’t have a favorite jacket. I typically use a pullover but I don’t usually have to run in anything colder than upper 20s. I love the black grease jacket!
HoHo Runs recently posted…Not-So-Flattering Race Photos (Friday Five)
We don’t usually get colder than the 20’s either and this is perfect.
What a cute jacket! Love the color. I don’t have a favorite fitness jacket since I don’t workout outdoors but all these cute clothes make me almost want to take the plunge. 🙂

Ha ha you could and should! What I like about them is that they are cute enough to wear around too
When I lived in Boston, winter jackets were vital. I played a spring sport in college, which meant we were outside in the winter weather a lot. Layers and good quality was the way to go.

Yes layers are the way to go for sure!
So cute!! I love it in pink!! Seems like this is a great investment!! 🙂

It’s a great price for a fun jacket
I am digging those leggings you are rocking! The jacket is cute too. I do not have a favorite Winter one because I have no plans to spend too much time outdoors. LOL
Diatta @ Femme Fitale Fit Club recently posted…Era Organics Giveaway
Ha the grey leggings are also skirt sports. I love them!
The pink one is so cute!
I hate wearing clothes that don’t breathe. Feeling hot and muggy is the worst, especially when you’re working out, so it must be nice that this one is breathable.
Fiona @ Get Fit Fiona recently posted…I Got Some Amazing News
I really love the material and find it is very breathable and perfect for running in. I also wear them around they are really stylish.
That jacket looks so warm for these colder Temps. I don’t have any jackets for running, I am always layering sweatshirts.

Oh you need a jacket!!
It looks awesome and seems to be really warm.
I have to admit that I do not have good winter outfits to sport. Can you believe that I do not have a single pair of gloves?!?
Next year I will get organized on time. 😉

Ha I don’t know about that-you could wear it to the gym!
Your jacket is absolutely adorable! I received an REI insulated vest for Christmas, and its becoming my go to when I need an extra layer during my runs, but don’t want to wear an actual jacket.

I’ve never had a winter jacket. It never seems warm enough. Warmth and a hood are what I look for.

That jacket is so cute. The pink is definitely your color! My new favorite jacket is my NorthFace thermoball. In hot pink, of course…

Funny I have that one and I don’t find it warm enough. I like it but it’s not very warm
Nice! I find that I turn to the same gear run after run, although I try to mix it up! Love the Grease refernece! 😉

I do not have this jacket but may need to add it into my Skirt wardrobe! Stylish, comfy , cute and functional! You look great in it and rockin’ the gotham tights!

Ah thanks skirt sister! I do really love it and at the sale price you may “need” it too
If you didn’t know anything else about me, one thing anyone can tell by seeing me is I love pink! Especially to run in pink:)
This jacket is super cute, I seriously LOVE IT!!!
Kristy @Runaway Bridal Planner recently posted…You can be a friendly blog stalker too
Oh thanks! I love pink too and this is really my fave
Really cute! I like the pink 🙂
This would work for me when we go to the mountains.
Thanks!!
Natalie recently posted…Friday Favorites!
Oh yes for sure I wear it around even when I am not running
I really love Skirt Sports. I have honestly never really thought about getting a winter running jacket since I tend to warm up so much. If I need the extra warmth on those bitter cold days, I keep my core warm with a vest.
Lisa @ Lisa Runs for Cupcakes recently posted…Find Your Voice: Grow Authenticity
Vests are great too! It’s just been so cold I’ve loved having this jacket this year
That jacket is SO cute on you! Love it in the pink and the black both.

That jacket looks awesome. I love that it’s reversible. The length looks perfect too. Most jackets are too short for my longish self.

You had me at Pink Lady. 🙂
