Women's High Waisted Hiking Cargo Skort - Quick Dry Sport Skirt

In this review of the Women's High Waisted Hiking Cargo Skort, the bottom line is simple: this skort is for active women who want the freedom of a skirt with the practicality of shorts. It stands out primarily for its combination of quick dry fabric and secure storage, making it a go-to for day hikes, golf, or travel where breathability and pockets matter. The review covers fit, fabric performance in humid conditions, and the functional cargo design so you can decide if it suits your outdoor routine.

Key Features

• High waisted design: A soft, flat wide waistband with an external drawstring delivers an adjustable, flattering fit that stays comfortable on the trail.
• Built-in compression shorts: Inner shorts help prevent chafing on long walks while maintaining a smooth silhouette beneath the skirt.
• Ample storage: Two zippered pockets and two large velcro cargo pockets plus a front loop provide secure space for a phone, keys, or a compass.
• Performance fabric: A polyester and spandex blend is lightweight, moisture wicking, and quick dry to keep you comfortable in warm, humid conditions.
• Sun and water protection: UPF 50+ fabric and a durable water repellent finish help block UV rays and make light moisture bead up on the surface.
• Movement-friendly cut: A 16 in length with an A line hem gives room for a higher step without restricting stride.

Who It's For

This skort is best for women who enjoy multi-activity days: hiking, casual golf rounds, travel, or urban walks where pockets and quick drying fabric are useful. Its breathable blend and inner compression shorts suit humid climates and long outings.

Shoppers who need heavier insulation, technical mountaineering gear, or a strictly athletic compression skirt for intense running should look elsewhere, as this piece is geared toward comfort, mobility, and day-use versatility rather than extreme weather protection.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Cons

• Sizing can run slightly small for some customers, so consider sizing up if between sizes.
