Comments about Royal Robbins Discovery Skort:

This skort is the best! I have to confess, I have used this skort as a "skirt", dressing it up (black), but it's probably not the best idea since the black is a bit of a faded black. It's definitely capable of a more refined casual look though! As for performance, I just hiked 12 miles in one yesterday and my fat thighs only got a little bit of chaffing on them from it riding up. So cool and comfortable and ready for dinner on the way home! I have four of these in all different colors. . .they are my version of shorts (because no one wants to see the fat thighs!).

Comments about Royal Robbins Discovery Skort:

I bought this skirt for a trip to Florida and wore it basically every day for two weeks. I had other skirts, but this one fit so perfectly and was so comfortable for hours of walking that I didn't want to wear anything else. I have also worn it to work with a nice top and gotten several compliments on it. Tragedy struck last night when it came out of the dryer half melted, though! The clasp must have gotten stuck some where and despite the low dryer temp, completely melted a chunk of the skirt off!! Lesson learned - air dry when possible! I'm purchasing another, though, because its worth it.

Comments about Royal Robbins Discovery Skort:

I bought two skorts (black, everglade) and wore them exclusively in a 4 week trip to Europe. They were light weight enough for days where the temperatures soared over 90. They washed easily in the sink and were dry the next morning. They are dressy enough for cities, but casual enough for beach towns. The waist is a bit big, but I wore loose fitting blouses over the top. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to leave room in their suitcase for souveniers.

Comments about Royal Robbins Discovery Skort:

I really like the style of the skort, but the shorts under the skirt ride up as I'm walking which allows my legs to rub together and chaff. I have larger thighs which contributes the the shorts riding up, but still, it's uncomfortable and annoying. It would be perfect for me if the shorts part was spandex. I get compliments every time I wear it so of course I like it enough to keep, but probably won't be buying another.

Comments about Royal Robbins Discovery Skort:

I bought this skort as a shorts alternative for a trip to Disney World. I'm so pleased with this purchase in every possible way. It's incredibly comfortable and very flattering. Nothing tight or binding or pinching or leaving red marks around your waist. It packs like a dream and comes out of the dryer perfectly ready to wear. It looked fine with t-shirts on vacation and I even wear it to work as a skirt with a dressier shirt! For theme park visiting in the summer, the moisture repellent features were another added benefit. I went on a wet ride and then just shook the beaded water droplets right off the skirt - nothing wet or clingy at all. My only very minor con is the lack of pockets. There is one back, zipped pocket and that's all. I'd like to have a small hip pocket.

Comments about Royal Robbins Discovery Skort:

Love this Royal Robbins skort ... I bought it in tan, green, and black and wish it came in more colours because I would scoop them up. Perfect for hiking, biking, chillin' with friends ... is casual but sharp. Price is good too.

Comments about Royal Robbins Discovery Skort:

After receiving and wearing the first one I ordered, I had to buy two more in different colors. I'm hoping to find two more colors so I can wear this skort every single day to work. It is just about THE most comfortable piece of clothing I own. I also can wear it for short bike trips. The fabric has a nice stretch so I can fling my leg over my bike without ripping any seams.

I work in a fairly relaxed office environment, so I don't feel underdressed when I wear it. I have gotten many compliments on the skort. Everyone thinks it's a regular skirt.

And because the zipper is in the back, it is very flattering for those of us with motherly tummies.

Comments about Royal Robbins Discovery Skort:

I am back for more colors, and feel like I need to stock up in case this style goes away! I am not a skirt wearer, but wanted something a little more flattering to wear than shorts all the time, so thought I would give this a go. I am totally sold. These are incredibly flattering and incredibly stretchy! Just last night I was pulling kids up and down a wall, bending, stretching and climbing, and not an issue at all. You really can hike in a skirt! Best of all, they look great on the town too!

Comments about Royal Robbins Discovery Skort:

The first weekend I wore these I didn't want to take them off. Wore them hiking all over up and down mountains, through lakes and rivers, and even the next day after a good rinsing, out shopping. The fit and style is perfect, and I often have trouble finding things that don't gap since I tend to be curvier on the bottom.
That being said, for me, the reason I wear a skort is to have the flattering appearance of a skirt while keeping my legs from chafing, and this had one feature and and not the other.

Comments about Royal Robbins Discovery Skort:

I chose "Feels too big" because I usually take a size 8 in Royal Robin, but for this skort, a 6 fits very comfortable. As a matter of fact, my husband, who was in the dressing room with me, said the skort may become too lose if I lost any weight. So, as it is, size 6 fits me great, but I do recommend sizing down if you're between sizes.
I have worn the skort once so far. It is super comfortable. I can crouch in crowded places without ever feeling I'm showing anything improper. The tiny pocket on the back is placed at a spot that I don't recommend putting more than a credit card or driver's license in it. Anything else, even a key, would look bulky and silly sitting on your lower back like that. I'm 5'5" and the length is perfect on me. Hits me a couple of inches above the knees. I wore it a bit "rugged" by pairing it with my Moabs. Husband said it was cute and active looking.
