Marked man (well temporarily)

Has anyone experienced the same phenomenon? It was a bit chilly and wet today so I thought I'd wear my new Contra leggings. They kept my legs roasty toasty but when I took them off I had 'CONTRA' written in paler skin on my, otherwise, quite pink, left thigh. Not to worry as it went after a short while. I guess it was just that the letters kept those parts of my leg a wee bit warmer. Hehehe

(Very happy with my leggings with added amusement factor- thanks Contra)

I was reading about Contra this week Matilda’. For those who don’t know, this brand has been set up by the founder of parkrun because the big brands won’t produce sportswear suitable for the size and shape of the average parkrunner. There are no gender defined colours and all profits go back to parkrun.

I like those leggings, but I’ve got to wait to see what Santa brings me before I buy anything else. Are the letters plasticised?

🏃‍♂️👏👏

[MatildasPb Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

No, the letters just seem inky. But don’t take my word for it. Also a pertinent point is that my skin flushes very easily. Fingers crossed for Christmas they are great leggings with a very good fit.

I had to look that up! However, I think good taste must prevail so I can’t comply I’m afraid. 😊

[Jell6 Graduate10 in reply to MatildasPb]

I had to look it up too!

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Now-runner_NeedsAttn]

[MatildasPb Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Ethically sourced I believe - no Far East sweatshop or mindless pollution. Oh, and great customer service too.

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to MatildasPb]

That’s good to know.

[Dizzysmum17 Graduate10]

Haha Bob that made me giggle. Is this your 13k run? Sounds like you made your mark 😆. X

[MatildasPb Graduate10 in reply to Dizzysmum17]

Haha, yes and yes!
