I bought this skirt for hiking and it has performed very well. Having the skirt wrap around instead of pulling it on over muddy shoes keeps it cleaner and is simply easier. The material so far doesn't get snagged in the woods and actually does shed water in a light rainfall. It isn't binding when I walk or climb and is very comfortable. It also is perfect when handling bodily functions in nature to maintain some modesty. No more bare bottom flashes! The Velcro at the waist makes it easy to adjust for the perfect fit. I really can't find anything negative about this skirt.
