Patagonia Women's Duway Skirt

Dependable Patagonia
I've already owned 3 of these babies, and am constantly on the look out to increase my inventory. The fit is true but easy, the fabric has a nice drape and the length is perfect. This time I ordered the color "Carbon" which is a very dark neutral green.I only regret that I can't find the the "stone" color that was available several years back to replace the one I ruined.

Fabulous!
Love this skort. It looks like great fitting skirt...wouldn't know the shorts are underneath, but they're there so you can break into a run or a headstand or jump on a bike or do your stretches with no worries. I have it in black and am planning to get additional colors.

This item is incomparable to anything else. Perfect style and fit, very flattering cut. It has athletic abilities and can be worn for any occasion. Travels so well I need only 3 pairs and nothing else. It's true love- so Patagonia please dont change a thing!

Love this item!
I bought one in black and love it so much, I now also have it in red and khaki. It looks like a skirt, has all the advantages of shorts, plus the zippers on the sides at the hem provide a bit of additional freedom. Very comfortable and looks nice too.

It was just what I ordered!
The black short was in perfect condition, just what I ordered and arrived promptly (just a few days after I placed the order). I already have one in Beach Wood and find them great for golf as well as wearing around town.I couldn't be happier with the purchase!

Just what I wanted
This is my fourth one. Size 6 just a little roomy in waist but hips and length perfect. My only problem is finding enough perfect tops to go with them!!! Great fabric and quality construction. I'll buy another if dark blue and another if British khaki.

Awesome skirt!
I absolutely LOVE this little skirt. I'm 53 and a size 14, so I am very careful not to wear anything too short, but this is a perfect length. I bought the Fog first, then immediately ordered two additional colors. You will wear this skirt all the time!

Wouldn't be without this skort...
I've rated this a 4 in the past because I felt that the crotch of the shorts was a little uncomfortable in my size 8. I've amended the rating to a 5 as it now fits perfectly and I can actually also wear a 6 because I've lost weight. I like this so much that I purchased it in every color and gave one to a friend as a gift. It's very sleek and the no one would know there are shorts beneath the skirt. Everything about it is great: the length, the small pocket, the zippers on the sides...I'd like to see additional colors such as a deep brown, navy, rust, eggplant.

Great universal skirt
The Duway fits true to size, and the color (I ordered blackberry) is exactly as depicted on the site; so I do not agree with past reviews. You can see for yourself, though! I would never be able to tell that the shorts-cut lining was there by looking at the skirt. Outer material is luxuriously soft, moisture-wicking, and- best of all- stain-resistant!

great skort!
I love this skort... it's long enough to wear as a skirt and the shorts are completely hidden. Fabric is uncrushable and soft. I liked it so well I have 3 different colors now.

Great skort.
The fabric is very comfortable. I usually wear a size 6, but I found this to be just a bit snug...ended up returning it for a size 8, which fit perfectly and at a slightly lower rise, which I prefer.

This Skirt is perfect! A perfect travel skirt and you never have to worry about your underwear showing... I have had a blue Patagonia skirt and have used it a lot the last 5 years and it is still as good as new. I have now ordered 2 more (one grey and one black)

Duway Patagonia skort one of the most versatile wardrobe items
The Duway Patagonia skort has to be more of the most versatile wardrobe items a women can take on a trip. I just wish I had had it in time for my recent Patagonia, South America trip this past November 2006. In between bagging peaks, wespent lots of in-between time in remote towns at the tip of South America (their late Spring/early Summer). The skort would have been both demure enough (women don't wear shorts in South America), yet allowing for those awkward climbing moments in and out of transportion. That's why I own two (both Black and Fog). Don't leave home without them!

An excellent skirt for work and for play.
I now own six patagonia Duway Skirts. I use them for work and find them comfortable. I would like to buy another red skirt but have not seen a red skirt for sale anywhere on the internet. I highly recommend this skirt for it's comfort and for durability. Ialso love the material that this skirt is made of.

Work or play, I can wear this skirt anywhere. It's short enough for comfort, long enough for work. The side zippers make it appropriate to wear anywhere, and the skort is comfortable and sleek. I have 3 of these, & I want more!

Great for work and travel
This skirt stays great looking even after a long day at work. It washes well and fits great. It's perfect on trips because it packs small, and I can even ride my bike wearing it. Very comfortable. I have it in stone, black, and olive. I hope Patgonia will come out with even more colors.

Carefree with style
I love this skirt. It's my second one - one is not enough. I can ride my bike on it (zips up the sides of skort) and I can dress it up (it's really flattering enough to call elegant - -really!)or dress it down almost to tomgirl style with trendy flip flops. Very comfortable! I am a petite but the length works for me anyway. I've tried to get a similar skirt at a cheaper price but it sits in the closet...and I had to come here to get another one with free shipping to boot!

Wow! Great skirt
The skirt material was even better then what I would have thought. The shorts are made into the skirt so that it does not add extra material, so that you do not look larger. I usually wear a size 8 and I bought a 8. It's fits perfect.

So comfy!!
I liked the first one in black so much that I ordered a second in pumice. Fits true to size. Material is soft and stretchy enough to move with you. Above the knee length is just perfect, and the shorts underneath mean you don't have to worry when you bend over. You can feel dressed up and comfortable at the same time!

Best piece of clothing I own
Good travel clothing always makes good Mom clothing. I can wear this to my twins playgroup and still go right to the office or meet with clients in this skort. Holds up to spills and doesn't wrinkle. I have it in 3 colors!!! Sizing is right on and it's as comfortable as a pair of running shorts.

Fab-u-lous!
This has to be the a girl's best travel friend. I already had one in black and needed to get another in pumice for my upcoming trip to Myanmar (Burma). It feels great, washes wonderfully in the sink and is dry by morning. In addition, it's respectful enough to wear to the pagoda with the comfort of shorts.You can never have too many of these. I recommend buying one in every color!

terrific skort
Unlike most skorts, this skort does not have a wrap design. It has NOTHING to add bulk where you don't want it. The length is somewhat longer too. I could wear this on a hike, stop at my son's track meet, go to church and then pick up groceries on the way home. I haven't washed it yet, but the fabric is very high tec and I know it will wash like a dream. I have it in black and wore it out to dinner. It's that versitile. I love this skort and I own a lot of skorts.

Almost Perfect!
I have to say that when I first put this skirt on I didn't like it due to the snug waist that hits right at the belly button. My husband just loved it, so I thought I would give it a chance. I wear a 6 and usually like it a bit lower and looser on the belly. If they had made it just a tad bit looser at the waist, I would be in heaven. The shorts also don't feel all that great in the crouch area until they have had a chance to stretch out a little. The skirt does look good and I fear a size 8 would look too big. I wish this skirt was about $15 less. Then, I would get another!

Nicer than your average skort
This skirt acts like a skort but doesn't look like one except when you unzip the side zippers for ease of movement. Fits true to size and is flattering. However, I thought the Beach Wood color was going to be a little bolder, a bit more yellow. Seems more like a light khaki.

Duway skort more upscale than most
I have this in black and will buy it in aubergine if it becomes available in my size. I have a number of skorts, but this one is the most dressy looking. I teach and wear it to work when it's warm. The fabric is very attractive. The reason that I rated it a 4 is because the shorts are a bit uncomfortable in the crotch area. The fabric is quite unforgiving. I wouldn't consider running, etc in them...the shorts feel like they'd split. I will admit that the 8 is a little snug, but the 10 is definately large. I have 3 of the Outdoor Research Element Skort from 3 years ago and adore them. The shorts are made of stretch material and are a dream compared to the Duway shorts. OR has since slightly changed the pattern and I don't like the design as much. But back to the Duway....love the small zipper on the hip of the skirt. It's perfect for a key or $. The zippers on the bottom sides of the skirt are different and just ever so slightly change the look from sleek to more casual. A great alternative to shorts.

Love this skirt for traveling. I bought two in different colors. I do think the price is steap for the skirt. It should be more in the thirty $ range. There aren't many skorts on the market so I had to buy it.

Comfort and Style can come in the same package
I am a bit of a granola girl, which clashes with my need to dress professionally. I love this skirt because it bridges play and work perfectly. Paired with Chacos, I can go on a hike or work in the garden. Paired with sandals, I'm ready for work. Oh, and the fabric is super soft. It is a little short for my taste (slightly above the knees), and the second skirt I bought was a bit smaller than the first (same size), so be careful of that.

nice skirt
There are lots of positives about this skort. I am sureI'll wear it often. Why I rated it 4 instead of 5: The zipper gets slightly caught on its way down from the waist but that's probably because my waist is not a flat board but more like jello. I would appreciate a version with an elasticized waist and belt. The fabric is like velvet and tends to catch fluff, and despite the lining, can 'stick' to my nylon stockings. The pocket is sort of very small. I think it's functional like the little pocket on running pants. The look is quite professional so I wear it to work and don't have to worry about showing my undies. I have not used it for running or biking yet. Generally, I'm satisfied with this product.

Love to wear the Duway
I have another patagonia skort that I love even more than the Duway. I purchased it from Title Nine and they called it the 007 skort. It is made of 100% nylon and drys in a flash. I like the Duway because it is not as casual. I haven't worn shorts in three years now that I have found Patagonia's skorts.
