In case you were wondering, a skort is exactly what it sounds like: skirt at the front, shorts at the back. It's the genius solution to that age-old problem of wanting to wear a skirt on a hike without flashing half the hillside every time you scramble over a stile. This one's made from NetPlus recycled nylon (yes, from old fishing nets), with plenty of stretch and quick-drying properties that make it brilliant for hot-weather adventures. The water-repellent coating shrugs off drizzle and dirt, and there's an elastic waistband with zip fly and button closure – plus an adjustable webbing belt that tucks away when you don't need it. You’ve got two front drop-in pockets for your essentials, and a more secure back pocket with Velcro closure.

Patagonia is the brand that other gear companies want to be when they grow up. In 2022, the company's founder, Yvon Chouinard, famously gave the company to the planet. It’s now jointly controlled by a charitable trust and a not-for-profit dedicated to fighting the climate crisis, and all post-operating profits go to environmental causes.
But in some ways that’s the tip of the (melting) iceberg. For nearly half a century, Patagonia has been an experiment in responsible business. From the farms that grow their cotton to the factories that make their goods and everything in-between, they’ve tried incredibly hard to set the gold standard in terms of ethics, transparency and social responsibility. Not only that, but their gear is made to last – to take hard use and repairs, and to maintain its performance through thick and thin.
All of which is even more extraordinary when you consider that Yvon Chouinard started out blacksmithing climbing gear for his mates in his parents' backyard, using a forge and anvil that he bought from a junkyard.
At WildBounds we don’t usually tend to go for the big-name brands, but this was one we simply couldn’t resist. Quite apart from their amazing ethical and environmental credentials, they just make great gear. We’ve used it and loved it for years, and you will too.
