We like to call them "Hydraplay" because water or land activities are a bonafide ease with these light, comfortable skorts. Elastic waist band for increased ease of fit. KristyJ has even added a soft bike short under the skirt, rather than a panty, for extra comfort while wearing. This is a skirt you can wear on the boat, while playing tennis or swimming with the kids.  For the ultimate in sun protection, style and confidence!
