Yeah, I know. Men in skirts. Who would’ve imagined a skirt would be the ideal hiking gear? Have a black one of these and have hiked many trails. Thought an army green one would be good too.
I live in the south. Where it’s hot. The A/C of a skirt is remarkable. And there’s freedom of movement when you’re climbing over stuff. Awesome pockets that hold everything you need quick access to. No accoutrements in the back that dig into you under your pack. Modesty snap is pretty awesome too for those of us who weren’t taught how to sit right in a skirt.
And I didn’t expect the compliments from the ladies. Guys sort of sheepishly ask me about it cause again, men in skirts. Haha. But it’s awesome and it’s only clothing. I’m still a guy.
This is a well made skirt. The pockets are great, and the fabric is top notch. As a male the A-line waist is too small. I usually wear XL in all other skirts. However would not want anything bigger in the hips or bottom hem. So am returning it.
I love my kilt! I wore it for a rim to rim Grand Canyon hike in 96 degree heat and I definitely felt like having an unobstructed breeze underneath it all lowered my body temp by a good 10 degrees - I also really like the functional pockets and light weight material - not being weighed down by heavy fabric on a super hot day was very very nice... twas the next best thing to hiking naked :-)
Thank you for making such a functionally fun product!!!
Bonus! - the fun design/fabric pattern also worked great for wearing at a hot summer festival (Oregon Country Fair :-)
These seemed like such a great idea that I wanted to love them. I first bought the black print, but found that it clung too much although it fit well and was very comfortable. I then bought both the green and the sandalwood (each a different fabric). I am a bit of an apple shape with more weight in the upper hips and waist. These skirts were snug in the waist and upper hip/abdomen, but had way more room than I need in the lower hips/upper thighs. I suspect these would be perfect for someone with a different shape.
It will be a Christmas gift for my wife, so unable to give a review. But I’m sure he’ll love it!
