Comments about Royal Robbins Discovery Skirt:
This is the ultimate skirt! Cute, but not cutesy. I bought it in a chocolaty brown last year and wore it all over the place -- camping, hiking (it never snagged!), out for the afternoon with family & friends, traveling. It was always perfect and I felt adorable in it (I got many compliments!). I bought the orange color this year and, if they keep making them, I'll buy another color next year!

Comments about Royal Robbins Discovery Skirt:
I bought two of these skirts in black and chocolate brown for a trip to Italy last summer. I wore them constantly. I don't wear shorts, but wanted something comfortable but not too "touristy" and sloppy, and versatile for any formal situation, and easy to pack/clean. This skirt fit the bill and I am now considering a third one in another color. I had to go down at least one size from usual, so I think the waist-less design, while very flattering and accommodating for large meals/bloat, etc., (the waist "floats" and falls a bit below the navel) does run a bit large, so order with that in mind. I think the fabric gets a tiny bit stretched while wearing, so the skirt sits slightly lower on hips at the end of the day, esp if you've filled the pockets with weighty items.
L-o-v-e the 3 different pocket styles! One for slim cards, a folded tissue, paper money bills, c/c; one near the hem securely hides things like your passport, and one expands for keys, etc.; all are secure with zips and/or fasteners. Like another commenter said, almost possible to go empty handed if all you need is a bit of folding money, a c/c or card key, a tissue, a regular key or two, and perhaps even a slim cell phone.
Great skirt cut! Floats on the upper hips without being too tight or loose (very slimming) without bumps and bulges showing, and the stylish flare at the bottom hem allows for larger strides with light hiking, steps, getting in and out of taxis and busses. Suitable style for younger women as well as older (I'm 47). The hem hit at the bottom of the knee on me, so a good compromise between short and longer.
Packs very flat and compactly without much wrinkling (hang up and any wrinkles will fall out overnight). Super light fabric is easy to wash and hang to dry, and is comfortable in warm weather. I didn't even wear a slip; they wern't see-thru. In hot humid weather, boy-cut or thin "cycling" underpants are more comfortable to avoid thigh rubbing/chafing. Would look nice with tights in cooler climates, but the synthetic fabric might create static cling issues (I've noticed that as a problem with other synthetic fabric travel clothes).
Even thought I bought these skirts for travel, I wear them frequently around town at home with a women's cut t-shirt or casual blouse and flat or low wedge sandals, even "bike sport" style casual shoes. Looks nice without being too dressed up or too casual. I get LOTS of compliments on these skirts or my appearance every time I wear them. Wish the skirt came in more color options, I'd buy one to coordinate with more tops, though the basic options do suffice for travel.

Comments about Royal Robbins Discovery Skirt:
I LOVE this skirt. I have it in khaki (last season), and just ordered two more colors. I took it to Tanzania with me for a month of teaching, and it withstood stuffing it in a pack, hand-washing, ironing (to kill possible bugs, not bc I'm fussy), days of copious sweating, walking/hiking, dozens of kids pulling on it, etc. It goes just below my knee (I'm only 5'2) so it was also a respectful length for their more conservative culture. Now that I'm back, I can't wait for summer so I can wear it again. I also love the pockets. You can stash your ID, some money, and a key in the pockets and you won't feel them nor will they create unsightly bulges. In short, I think this is the perfect skirt for just about any occasion. I feel so cute and comfortable in it, I'd wearing it out at night as well. I honestly can't think of a single flaw with this skirt. I am thrilled they released it again this season in more colors.

Comments about Royal Robbins Discovery Skirt:
I love this skirt. It moves so well, fits wonderfully, and is very flattering. It can be dressed up a bit for a coffee date or such, and dressed down for a very comfortable hike. It's a cool skirt which I have found hard to find in longer skirts, they all get too hot.
If you want a soft, flattering, comfortable, and cool skirt, this is the one for you.
This review is from a 21year old, so don't think skirt is too old for you if you like the style.

Comments about Royal Robbins Discovery Skirt:
I hesitated at first spending [$] on a skirt. However, I definitely got my money's worth on this one! I have had this skirt just over a year and wear it as much as possible - work, camping, errands, beach. It's comfortable, has great pockets, is a good length (and I'm pretty tall), is flattering without being cutesy, travels well and has held up to numerous wearings/washings. I have the chocolate brown color and eventually added a navy blue one to my wardrobe later last year. I recently saw the orange one in the store and it looks great, too! I've gotten several compliments while wearing it.

Comments about Royal Robbins Discovery Skirt:
I love wearing skirts and this one allows me to feel comfortable but stylish while walking, traveling, and enjoying nature. The pockets give more freedom by holding items for handfree ease. I would buy another one but don't care for the other colors. It's long enough and gives plenty of room for movement.

Comments about Royal Robbins Discovery Skirt:
This is a great travel skirt (folds up small & doesn't wrinkle) but the waist runs big. I got a size 2 & the waist fits on my hips. I can remove it without unzipping it all the way. The fit could be improved if it had an elastic button adjustment option at the waist, allowing for changes in waist sizes. Otherwise, it's a great skirt. Looks fine for work travel & being on airplanes for long time. The length is good & not too short for travel to countries where modesty is important, but you can also hike in it. The pockets are great for keeping essentials close at hand, like money, sun block & lip balm. Just order a size down, but size 2 is the smallest size.

Comments about Royal Robbins Discovery Skirt:
I thought this was a cute skirt. When I wore it fore the first time my friend said, "That skirt is kind of cute. Is it new?" He normally says nothing, so it was a nice compliment. I can wear it as a casual and trendy. It feels larger, so I went a size down and it fits. (Although, I could have lost some weight.) I don't recommend clothes to friends.

I have two of these and they are always the first skirts I wear. Contrary to another reviewer, I don't find anything about them scratchy. Very well made, great value - I've had them both over a year and they still look like new
