Ibex Lena Skirt : Who Needs Shorts

I hate that soupy feeling you get in your pants, even in your shorts, on really hot days. Too many layers, too close to the body.

What you need is the air and space only a skirt could provided. Best if it's made out of a superior wicking fabric that naturally resists odors. Yes, I'm talking about wearing wool in the summer. Trust me, I've hiked in 85 degree temps in wool. It's better than other fabrics.

Ibex's Lena skirt has pretty much replaced my favorite pair of shorts for the summer. I love its seriously wide waistband, which keeps it in place and comfortable all day long. No binding, no shifting, no twisting, no rolling. I wear it as low as possible on my hips for an active fit.

The wool is soft and the material hangs nicely from my hips, giving it a full, yet slim fit that looks great and doesn't reveal too much thigh. It's the perfect for every day wear, power walks, and impromptu summer barbeques. The Lena skirt has a small, zippered front pocket that holds a credit card and keys. Nice.

Available in Mexican Cocoa, Black, Mulberry, and Silver.

Bottom Line: Stylish, comfortable, practical, and so easy for summer, the Lena skirt is a must-have item.--E. D. (May 07)
