Women's 14 in 20 in Hiking Cargo Skort with Zipper Pockets - Knee

In this review of the 14 in 20 in Women's Hiking Cargo Skort, the bottom line is simple: it is built for active women who want modest coverage, functional storage and quick-dry comfort on long days outdoors. The reviewer found the 20 in length gives noticeably more coverage and the integrated compression shorts prevent chafing, making this skort a practical choice for hiking, travel and outdoor work in warm weather. The blend of water resistant, UPF 50+ fabric and multiple pockets is the single biggest reason to consider it for an all-day outdoor skirt option.

Key Features

• 20 in knee length: Provides extra coverage and modesty while still allowing good leg movement for steep trails and scrambling.
• Multi-pocket cargo design: Two zipper pockets, two large Velcro pockets and an inner shorts side pocket keep essentials secure and organized on the go.
• Compression inner shorts: Built-in shorts reduce chafing and add support during long hikes or active days.
• Quick-dry, durable fabric: Lightweight polyester blend wicks moisture and dries fast, useful for hot-weather exertion or travel.
• UPF 50+ and water resistant: Fabric blocks most UV rays and sheds light moisture, making it suitable for sun-exposed trails and variable weather.
• Comfortable waistband: Wide flat waistband with external drawstring offers an adjustable, smooth fit that stays comfortable under layers.

Who It's For

The skort is best for women who need a versatile active skirt for hiking, golf, tennis or outdoor work where sun protection and pockets matter. Hikers who prefer more coverage will appreciate the 20 in length and side slits that balance modesty with mobility. The pocket layout and loop for a compass make it a good pick for day hikers who carry small essentials without a pack.

It may be less suitable for those who want a very long skirt or a fashion-forward city skirt - sizing can run mixed for some customers and a few found the length shorter than expected. If you prefer maximal waterproofing or insulated bottoms for cold weather, look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Well-made, quick-dry fabric that handles heat and sweat with ease.
• Plenty of secure storage with two zip pockets, two Velcro cargo pockets and an inner shorts pocket.
• Comfortable compression shorts and flat waistband reduce chafing on long hikes.
• UPF 50+ and water resistant treatment add sun protection and light moisture beading.

Cons

• Some customers report mixed sizing and that the length can feel shorter than expected for taller users.
• Not designed for heavy rain or cold-weather use, as the fabric is lightweight and quick-dry rather than fully waterproof or insulated.
