First let me say that I love Skirt Sports and the products they make! I have just recently discovered their products on Amazon at half the price of what the Skirt Sports website offers, so I will be buying their products from here exclusively.  This is a new skirt from the company and I have been eye-balling it for a number of months, but just couldn't pay the full price.

I love to hike and recently wore one of my running skirts and the first branch I ran into snagged the material so I knew that if I wanted to hike in a skirt, I would need a skirt made from different material and the Adventure skirt provides just the right material to wear out on the trail!

I have many skirts from Skirt Sports and unfortunately their fit is not always consistent from one product to the next.  I have never had a problem with the mediums fitting in the waist (I am a solid size 10 and have an athletic build - 5'8" and approx 160 lbs.), however my problem has been with the compression shorts.  There are some styles that run very small whereas others run big.  Sadly, with this style, the waist is perfect, however the inner compression shorts are TIGHT! Hiking in these would be uncomfortable and therefore, I have sent them back to exchange for a large.

I know that these will be comfortable to wear with the right size.  The inner compression shorts are thicker than their running skirts which will provide ample support on the trail (when your legs get tired, these will help you keep going!).  The pockets are adequate - the three on the back are different sizes.  One is open (no closure) so you can stuff things inside (camera, phone, snacks, etc.). The one in the middle is smaller and has a zipper closure. And the final one is a long sideways pocket that also has the slit for the headphones (kind of inconvenient, would have preferred this to be on the thigh pockets). And there is a pocket on each thigh of the compression shorts. The skirt hits about mid-thigh on my, so it is just the right length and there are slits on each side to allow for ample leg movement.

---Update---  I received my exchange for a large and what a disappointment!!  I will say the compression shorties fit just right, but the waist was HUGE. There was so much material that it went up past my belly button.

I have a flat stomach, yet my hips and thighs are larger, so I do have challenges with finding shorts/pants to fit. However, my disappointment runs in the fact that 1). all of Skirt Sports items fit differently 2). the cinch waist cord only bunched up the material and didn't allow the waist to sit right.  If you are a lady with a larger tummy, this would probably fit really well, but for me...no...and now I have to return an item AGAIN.
