Skirts

Outdoor skirts for hill walking, sports and leisure

Many outdoor manufacturers such as Maloja, Sherpa and Jack Wolfskin produce functional outdoor skirts that are stylish, made of great materials and offer plenty of freedom of movement. Depending on the use, outdoor skirts can either be warmly insulated or very airy and breathable.

Outdoor skirts are made of functional material blends of polyester, nylon and elastane. This makes hiking skirts and sports skirts easy to care for and allows moisture caused by sweat to quickly escape to the outside. Skorts, a cross between a skirt and shorts, are another great option for runners and cyclists.

Warm outdoor skirts for skiing and winter hiking

Insulated outdoor skirts and winter skirts always have a warm lining to keep your pelvis and thighs warm. Having a lightweight, quick-drying and padded synthetic insulation also provides toasty warmth.

Walking and ski skirts are great insulating layers that you can wear over your ski trousers, walking trousers or tights thanks to the comfort and freedom of movement they provide. The thicker the synthetic insulation, the warmer it'll be. Some outdoor brands prefer to use warm down because of its high fill power - just like a down sleeping bag!

Functional skirts for running and fitness

For fitness, running and trail running, it's best to wear a lightweight and well-ventilated sports skirt or running skirt. These are made of breathable materials and have air-permeable mesh panels to let the air flow through.

Sports and hiking skirts come in all colours and designs, and will give you a more feminine look when doing sports. They'll look great when matched with a stylish sports shirt, running shirt and other tops.
