Description of Ex Officio ExCursion Skirt - Women's:
When you think of travel clothing, safari hats, dorky shorts, and socks with sandals may come to mind. But Ex Officio’s ExCursion Skirt smashes that notion to smithereens. This knee-length skirt maintains an air of ladylikeness, even when you’re hoofing it up a steep trail or running to catch an autobus. A UPF of 30+ deters those harmful rays, and the Teflon finish resists stains, so say goodbye to those midday hotel room costume changes. The ExCursion Skirt also resists wrinkles, so don’t bother rolling it up during the packing process.
Bottom Line: You’ll be hard-pressed to find a more functional skirt than Ex Officio’s ExCursion.
I love the fit of this skirt! I ordered a 12, one size larger than I usually wear after looking at the sizing guide, as my hips are large, and got the fit perfect. It's modern and feminine: sits low on the waist, hugs the behind just enough to be flattering, with the length dropping just past the knees. The flare of the skirt (though not obvious) is enough to allow for big steps, which will definitely allow me to wear this in place of shorts comfortably even while doing light hiking. Also love the multiple pockets, even the hidden zip pocket. Will be great for travel!
I got this skirt for a great deal on SAC - it came today and it's very cute and just the right length for work or play. I nearly always wear a size 4 in bottoms. I had ordered a size 6 in this item after checking the size chart. However, it's still a bit too snug for the comfort I want. I'll be returning it for the size 8. Beware if you have any hips at all - order at lease a size up!
I haven't had the chance to wear it yet...but I bought this for an upcoming trip to India. It looks like it will pack and wash very well. I am really looking forward to wearing it!
I normally wear a size 4 but my hips are the largest part of my body. I ordered a size 8 after reading the other reviews and it fits well, a little loose on the waist but fits well everywhere else.
