Patagonia Women's Duway Skirt

Still the best!
December 30, 2011

I have 3 women's Patagonia Duway Skirts (aka "skorts") that are now 5 years old, and 2 brand new ones I've worn several times each and already washed and worn again. They all look just about the same, even the 3 with MANY year's wear. This product is AWESOME! I wish I had more color choices, as the red one is no longer available, and the light grey one (called "Dove" in the past) is also discontinued. Otherwise, I could not be a happier customer. The world's best travel skirt, in my opinion. Always looks fresh and feminine, while still being great for hiking, casual dining or even entering a church!?

liked the older model better
September 26, 2011

The newer model has a slanted zipper pocket which creates a slight bulge on the right hip where all the seams meet along with the side slit zipper. The waist is slightly tighter and the hips are a little wider. The older model had a horizontal pocket zipper on the front right waist. Material is awesome and the colors are great. Bring back the older model plz..... :)

great skirt

Great skirt, great fit. Knee length, which is a bit longer than I usually like, but other than that, I have no complaints. Very comfortable and great colors. True to size. I liked the first one so much that I bought the other colors.

BEST skirt EVER!
July 16, 2011

I love my skirt! I teach small children, so I do a lot of squatting and jumping around. This skirt is so comfortable and allows all my sudden movements without splitting. The shorts underneath are also important when sitting on the floor criss-crossed. I love the water repellent finish! It's easy to keep clean and still looks great after many days of kindergarten fun! This skirt is a perfect fit for shorter girls- I'm 5'3" and I don't feel squatty in it! It's long enough to wear to work... What more can I say? It's PERFECT! I'm ordering one in every color!

added to my collection of duway skirts
June 19, 2011

i now have 4 patagonia duway skirts. i love this skirt for my office, just the right length (not too short). i really like the side zips at the hem line and the fabric is soft and silky without being fingernail catching polyester. this color (currant) is crisp and regal lookingl. the built in shorts are perfect too as my desk doesn't have a front facade so no peek-a-boo issue with this skirt. the size is just right for me (size 10, 140 lbs). i hope they continue this skirt in some nice new colors. if patagonia reads this, i think a nice rich-red or warm chocolate brown would be a nice addition to my collection. please just don't make it any shorter !

Great skort!

I travel to Colorado every summer and this will be perfect for hiking and looking great for lunch. It fits true to size - long enough for me and short enough to look great. Love Patagonia clothes!

comfortable skirt
February 05, 2011

I have older versions of this skirt, which ran true to size. The new version runs a size larger. I am 5'4" and 126 lbs and the size 4 fits comfortably.

Great skort if you get the right version
January 25, 2011

I bought this in both Earthenware and Storm. I bought the Earthenware by accident, having intended to get the Black, but I actually like the colour of it a lot, more so in real life than I did on my computer screen. The fit of the skirt is great, it looks dressy enough for me to wear to work or around town, while the fabric feels like it would hold up to all sorts of outdoor pursuits. I have a feeling this will become one of my favourites. The fabric is really nice and soft, with good stretch, and the inbuilt shorts are low profile and fitting so that they don’t bulk up the skirt at all. The Storm colour on the other hand seems to be made of a completely different fabric – a newer/older model? It is much stiffer and has a real sheen to it that I don’t like at all, plus it feels like it will wrinkle much worse. Unfortunately I will return this one. If you can get the right version or right fabric then this is a fantastic skort.

I love my duway skort

This skort is the most versatile piece of clothing I own. I wear it everywhere, for play, dress, casual. It looks smart and I receive compliments on it every time I wear it.

Very comfortable skort that looks like a cute skirt
May 29, 2010

I purchased two of these skorts to wear to music festivals such as Jazzfest in New Orleans. They work well in the heat and humidity and dry quickly when they get wet. The side zippers allow freedom of movement but the built-in short prevents 'oops' moments from happening. They also pack well because they don't wrinkle much and most of those wrinkles drop out after being hung on a pants hanger for a short while.

Great Skort!

Very comfortable yet cute at the same time. Perfect for the golf course and classy to wear out after in the club.

Awesome skort
January 21, 2010

Love this skort. Have every color. The best for piece of clothing for traveling-can really dress up for a night out or dress down for hiking or biking. Packs compact (I always wear these for the plane trip so I don't have to worry about awkward positions), shake out minimal wrinkles (I always travel with Cling Free anyway) and easy to wash-dries quick. I wear these all the time-they are my uniform for life. Even in New England winter I wear with tights, boots and sweater, and then of course through the summer.

Great Skirt!

Great skirt. Easy to wear and very functional for just about any occasion. Extremely comfortable and classy. I liked them so much that I bought three of them in different colors.

Super Cute and Functional!!

Ok so i wouldn't attempt to ride a bike in a regular skirt, but this one can easily cross over from being appropriate for a date to a situation requiring a little more modesty. Fits true to size and is of decent length - so as not to reveal too much. I would definitely purchase another.

nice fabric and fit. Always a size 4 in patagonia wear. I am 5'6" 122 lbs. Do not like the shorts in the inside, but like the skirt too much and will cut them out if bother me to much

Love it!!
November 06, 2009

Bought it in 3 different colors, they fit great, can be used for business casual or just casual. Would recommend it to all my friends.

Great skirt!
October 30, 2009

This is the first Patagonia skirt I've bought and it's great. I like the fabric and length. I bought it in black which makes it quite versatile. Very comfortable.

Extremely confortable and attractive!
October 07, 2009

My wife bought this skirt when we were vacationing in Maine this year. She absolutely loves it! The fabric is extremely comfortable and it makes a very attractive outfit. After purchasing it in the store and seeing her reaction, I ordered another one, a different color for her for Christmas. I know she will love it!

Perfect Cycling Skirt
September 04, 2009

LOVE this skirt! Never wrinkles, always comfy, and the length is perfect for cycling and spontaneous jaunts to the trails and/or beach. Material is durable and pretty at the same time. Cute and flirty, or simple and plain, depending on how you dress it.

Dependable Patagonia
September 29, 2008

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.

great golf skort!!!
August 20, 2008

love, love this skirt. comfortable, easy-care. would like more than the one zip pocket for tees, balls, markers, etc. sizing is a little small, but i guess it depends if is a new color( bigger waist size on new colors). but it is my go to skirt with built in shorts! i play better in this skirt !

Fabulous!
May 22, 2008

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.

Great everyday skirt.
February 25, 2008

Great everyday skirt. Not too short or too long. Fits perfectly. Arrives very quickly!

Dont hesitate to buy- it doesnt get better than this skirt
December 26, 2007

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!
November 20, 2007

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.

great skirt
November 19, 2007

This is a great skirt.The fabric is really soft.It washes and wears extremely well.I have another one that was bought four years ago.It still looks new.This skirt does not fit at the hip for me but is true to size .

great skirt
October 13, 2007

I love the Duway skirt. The fabric is so soft. It runs true to size. Is very comfortable to wear. Would definitely buy it again.

It was just what I ordered!
September 24, 2007

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
September 08, 2007

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.

Comfortable.
August 06, 2007

Shorts a little uncomfortable at first, but they stretch out nicely. Runs true to size. Colors are good. May have to have another one!

Ordering my 4th!
August 02, 2007

They wear like shorts and look like a skirt. The microfiber washes well and dries fast. I want a blue one ...

Almost Perfect!
July 12, 2007

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!

Awesome skirt!
July 01, 2007

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...
June 20, 2007

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
June 18, 2007

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!

good skirt, poor color
June 13, 2007

ordered size 12 in blackberry. fits perfectly, but dissappointed in the color, not very purple at all looks faded, love the feel and cut of the skirt though.

great skort!
May 26, 2007

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.
March 24, 2007

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.

Nicer than your average skort
March 21, 2007

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.

Great fit. Nice feel.
February 16, 2007

Didn't know there were zippers on the bottom sides... but I'm sure they will come in handy riding a bike.
