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

In this review of the 14in 20in Women's Hiking Cargo Skorts, the bottom line is simple: these skorts are best for active women who want skirt-style coverage without sacrificing the mobility and storage of hiking shorts. The reviewer found the combination of a knee length 20in skirt with built-in compression briefs to be especially useful for long, hot hikes because the fabric dries quickly and the briefs prevent chafing. Fit and length vary between wearers, but the overall design focuses on comfort, sun protection, and functional storage.

Key Features

• Extended coverage: The 20in skirt length and knee coverage provide modesty and more protection from brush while keeping a feminine silhouette.
• Multi-pocket cargo: Two zipper pockets, two large Velcro pockets and an inner shorts side pocket give organized, secure storage for small essentials on the trail.
• Comfortable built-in briefs: Compression shorts under the skirt reduce chafing on long hikes and add confidence during active movement.
• Performance fabric: Lightweight polyester blend wicks moisture, dries quickly and has durable water-repellent treatment to shed light moisture.
• Sun protection and adjustability: UPF 50+ fabric shields skin from UV rays while a soft wide waistband with external drawstring allows a tailored fit.

Who It's For

These skorts are aimed at women who want a skirt look for hiking, golf or travel but need the practicality of shorts beneath. Hikers who value breathable, quick-dry fabrics and multiple secure pockets will appreciate the cargo layout and the loop for attaching small gear like a compass.

Those who prefer a very long skirt or need precise sizing should check measurements before buying, as customer feedback on length and fit is mixed; women seeking heavy rain protection or insulated layers should look elsewhere.
