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?

🏃‍♂️👏👏

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. 😊

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