Columbia Riptacular Skirt : Cool, Tough, Ready for Action

Sometimes shorts just don't do it for me. Sometimes I need more freedom, more fashion, and more fun. Columbia's Riptacular skirt has been an essential part of my summer uniform for providing all of those things.

Made out of stonewashed, rip stop cotton, this skirt is rugged enough for the trail, but pretty enough for casual wear. The Riptacular has an elegant, simple cut that allows me to wear the skirt on my hips or at my waist (if I use the detachable cloth belt). I like having that option. I also like the two button pockets, one on each side of the skirt.

Bottom Line: This comfy skirt is easy-wear, easy-wash. A perfect traveling skirt.--E.D. (August '05)
