Patagonia included built-in shorts when it designed the Women's Inter-Continental Hideaway Skirt, so you can take your skirt style to the trail without the drawbacks.
The Hideaway Skirt's DWR-coated nylon/polyester blend dries quickly, repels light rain, and doesn't stain easily. Two hand pockets and zipped rear pockets give you plenty of places to keep lip goo, car keys, cash/credit cards and other small necessities.
