Author: Łukasz Lenczyk - a new member of #poszetkateam, whom you will be able to meet soon in our Wroclaw showroom, decided to share his opinion on the usefulness of our products on the go.
I've changed the jacket to a more beach-suited outfit. I swapped the umbrella for a linen shirt and a baseball cap. I've dropped the espadrilles on the dune already, they will come in handy for the way home - the sand will be so hot, that it's going to be impossible to cross it barefoot. I didn't take the cap off at all - I'd never think that corduroy wears so well on the ocean shore.
I've a feeling that many people get caught in a paradox of sorts. They buy high quality items, made from natural fibers and manufactured to last long... and then use them just occasionally. We ought to take care of our clothes but we can't be afraid to wear them. After long-term use the colours will deepen their hue, the fabrics will be more pleasant to the touch.
After spending the whole day in the sun only one thing remains, a visit to the local restaurant. I need nothing else.
Portugese coast has a lot to offer. We started our journey on cliffs and ended it on a wide, sandy beach. The wind didn't spare us at all, though it brought some much needed respite from the southern sun.
I am writing these words with a clear conscience - I have wanted such swimming trunks for a long time. For the trip south, I took with me two pairs, and they both worked well in the pool and the ocean.
Swimming shorts are one of the few products where synthetic materials work great. What is worth paying attention to is that they are sewn in Poland.
I wanted to be serious about the tests, so I used to jump into the pool for a week, swim in the ocean, ride a bike, run on the beach and lay on the sand for hours. If that was not enough, they also survived the football match. I was surprised by the lack of grazes and irritation that usually ended with similar activities.
The details of the shorts are also not bad and are rarely found in this type of clothing - look at the buttonhole that allows you to get rid of water in the back pocket! As for the material, it dries very quickly and does not absorb the smell of water or suntan oils.
