Nice skort.  The grill color is lighter than it appears in the photo so is not hot, like black.  Very light weight.  I have another brand skort as well that has a zipper in the front.  One thing I like about this one is that I can pull leggings on if it gets cool where the ones with the zipper won't allow for that.  On my first hike with them I sat in some tree sap at lunch.  It was easy to remove the sap, which was a real relief.  Might have something to do with the finish.  I wish the shorts were longer but I am pleased with this.  This is my first skort for hiking and if I'm not going where there are lots of mosquitos or going cross-country, they are going to be well used.  I'm 5'4" 108lbs and the xs fit best.
