14 in 20 in Women's Hiking Cargo Skorts Skirts with Zipper Pockets is

Our review of the 14' 20' Women's Hiking Cargo Skorts finds it a practical choice for active women who want the coverage of a skirt with the utility of shorts. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of secure storage and movement-friendly construction: a wide drawstring high waist and an inner stretch lining let you hike, garden, or play tennis comfortably while the zip and Velcro pockets keep phone, keys and small valuables safe. It wears like a tailored active skirt rather than a performance novelty.

Key Features

• Drawstring High Waist Belt: The wide, high waist belt with drawstring locks the fit in place and smooths the abdomen for confident movement on trails.
• Zip & Velcro Pockets: Each side includes a zipper pocket for valuables and a Velcro pocket sized to hold up to a 6.7 in mobile phone securely.
• Stretch Lining: The comfortable inner lining gives freedom of motion and breathability for hiking, traveling, or warm-weather chores.
• Premium Twill Fabric: Wrinkle-resistant twill with a durable water-repellent surface helps keep you dry and the fabric resists creasing during travel.
• UPF 50+ Sun Protection: Fabric provides strong protection from UV rays, useful for long days outdoors in sun-exposed activities.
• A-Line Cut: The slightly A-shaped silhouette accommodates different body types and keeps the profile flattering in activity.

Who It's For

This skort is aimed at women who spend time outdoors and need sensible pockets and sun protection without sacrificing a skirt look. Hikers, gardeners, park walkers, golfers and anyone doing active errands will appreciate the quick-dry fabric and secure storage.

Those who want a dressier skirt or need very long coverage should look elsewhere, because this design is knee length and some wearers find the largest size runs small or the length shorter than expected. If you require heavy insulation or waterproofing for serious mountain conditions, a technical hiking skirt would be a better fit.
