Marmot Ashley Cord Skirt

Here’s a paradox for you: Sometimes, snowy days call for a skirt, not pants. That’s because slushy sidewalks and snow banks have a way of soaking your cuffs—and only constricting pencil pants fit neatly inside tall boots. Better, then, to wear Marmot’s Ashley Cord Skirt ($65), which gets the hem out of the way and lets your boots do their snow-foiling work.

A lot of the features you expect from a great pair of hiking pants are built into this skirt. The waistband is contoured for a great fit that’s free of gaps and bulges. The enzyme-washed cotton fabric has a hint of stretch (2 percent Elastane) for outstanding freedom of movement—sidestepping out of cars and airplane seats didn’t strain the seams. Bonus: the little pocket on the thigh is zippered so your lip balm won’t go astray.

Sure, it’s a skirt. But Marmot turns this girly staple into something supremely practical for mountain wear. Throw on a pair of wool leggings underneath, and it’ll keep you cozy through winter’s first blasts—and beyond.

Kamagra oral jelly Online something to buy the most convenient way. He doesn’t demand from you any actions except how to visit the website. And in separate with goods necessary to you to put the end. To specify your address and to wait for the supplier to whom you will give money.
