The perfect skirt for hiking! (Heck, it's the ONLY skirt I've seen for hiking...) It just feels so nice to be in an airy skirt when working up a sweat, logging a bunch of mountain miles. My new Purple Rain skirt is well-designed and well-made. The smooth waistband (no bumpy elastic bits or ties) and the just-right length are my favorite features. Yes, indeed, I'm glad I found this company and bought this skirt!
