I purchased this skirt in the olive color a couple of years ago and wear it constantly. It is very lightweight for hot weather, but still feels substantial and the fit is very flattering. As others have commented, it is ever so slightly longer in back, which makes it great for sitting on the ground or on a train. It is perfect for travel, compacts down to almost nothing and while it looks wrinkled when you unpack it, the wrinkles disappear within a few minutes after you shake it out. The performance is equal to other outdoor/hiking gear but it looks great for walking around cities if you don't usually aim for a super outdoorsy style. I came across the skirt again accidentally while browsing for something else and immediately ordered a new one in black. Highly recommend.
