I think the only thing I would change about the Cowl is the drawstring length, as I often find them getting in the way of certain tasks. They have definitely ended up in the sink a few times when I was brushing my teeth, so I have made a mental note to toss the drawstrings over my shoulder when brushing from now on. I also probably will not actually wear this top for running, because, in my opinion, it seems like more of a casual piece. I guess that would be a choice for whoever purchases this particular item though.
Since owning and wearing the Cusco Cowl, I’ve already received quite a few compliments on it. On most given days you can find me wearing the cowl out running errands, grabbing coffee with a friend, or lounging around at home. I typically pair the Cusco Cowl with some running tights or skinny jeans and some sneakers.
For those not familiar the brand Janji, you should know that their running apparel is not only super chic and comfortable, but for each item sold, they donate 10% of the profits to help fund clean water projects. This season, Janji has partnered with Evidence Action in supporting Kenya through a clean water initiative called Dispensers for Safe Water which is a proven, innovative, and low-cost approach to increase rates of household chlorination and providing safe drinking water.
