I love the Royal Robbins Discovery Skirt, which I have in array of colors (2 tan, 2 charcoals, a black, and a red). I ordered the slate from Altrec thru Amazon. At first, I thought they sent me the wrong color since the Slate does not appears as blue as depicted on Amazon web site so I called Altrec. Altrec offered to refund my money but after I placed the slate next to the charcoal, I realized they were different colors. Oops. The slate is similar to navy gray in my opinion. Either way, I love the skirt, the FAST SHIPPING from Altrec, and the GREAT customer services as while so now I have 7 discovery skirts.

FYI: I wear the skirt to the beach, hiking, and work. The material is great for it provides some sun protection, dries fast, and cleans easy. For example, I went to Santa Catalina Island for the day of hiking, kayaking and snorkeling. All I needed was my Discovery skirt and my Royal Robbin jacket made out of the same material. I spelt lunch on my skirt with a little water and 10 minutes later nobody could tell.
