The Rukka Peippola is a stylish and sporty shorts skirt, where the appearance of the skirt combines with the practicality of sports leggings. The elastic, skin-tight inner shorts help to wick moisture away from the skin and prevent chafing. The water-repellent surface treatment of the skirt part aids in staying dry, allowing moisture to evaporate rather than accumulate. The fabric also stretches in all directions, ensuring freedom of movement. There are hidden zippered pockets in the front and an open patch pocket in the back.
