Mondetta Performance Gear Review and Giveaway

Posted on by MCM Mama

I’m not a what you might call a fashionable runner.  In fact, I’m usually happy if I don’t actively clash.  When MPG offered me the opportunity to try a couple of their items and review them, I jumped at the chance.  I loved the idea of actually looking pulled together when running.  But there was another reason I really wanted to help promote this company: I like their charitable goals.

Here’s some information on the charitable part of their company. Mondetta Charity Foundation:

Our founders were all born in the East African countries of Kenya and Uganda and have decided to support an an orphanage in the former and a school in the latter. Most of the children directly benefiting from the MCF’s efforts have either lost their parents to AIDS or are themselves living with the disease that has ravaged most of the African continent. One percent of total MPG sales are contributed to the MCF, which is a completely separate entity from the parent company, Mondetta, meaning all operating and administration costs are covered by the company and all donated funds received go directly where they should: to help those in need.

So, not only did they have awesome looking clothes, they are actively charitable.  Sign me up!  I chose the Leap skort (’cause I’m on a mission to find one I like LOL) and the Sweet top.

Both items are cute and well-made.  I bought them to wear together and that doesn’t quite work, but that’s really my only “complaint”.  The skirt is awesome, as I’ve mentioned before.  It’s comfy and cute and feminine.  The undershorts fit like a snug brief and don’t move at all while I’m running.  Sometimes the waistband slides up (I’m super short waisted), but as soon as I’m warmed up (read: sweaty), I can readjust it and then it stays where I like it.  Seriously, this skirt may convert me to running skirts.

“normal” person as photographed
by a 5 year old LOL.

I haven’t worn the shirt as often as the skirt.  It’s really adorable with some nice details, but it fits me a bit tighter than I’d like and is a bit too long.  Just a note for when you are choosing from their site – the small in this shirt is truly a small.  I’m still trying to figure out which of my bottoms it looks right with (I know that’s a shock – that I actually care LOL).
