I have been looking for a modest solution for winter walks and hikes. No one is making modest hiking skirts, unfortunately. As much as I love my Snoga Mesh with 3/4 length leggings in spring and fall, it is NOT warm enough for winters in the Midwest. For cold weather, I've discovered that there is nothing more cozy than buttery soft merino wool. It helps regulate my body temperature and wick perspiration. So I decided to size up with a Snoga Fit with ankle leggings and layer lightweight merino leggings underneath. I was worried it would end up being too bulky, but it is a TOTAL WIN! Everything is smooth and sleek, no weird bulkiness at all. Paired with a sweater, a plaid shacket or french terry funnel neck and down vest, I will be so excited to get out this winter in my Snoga, whatever the weather! And I'm thrilled to see the chocolate brown version of the skirt coming soon. I would much rather have had a brown or dark charcoal version, but I need this skirt for an upcoming trip so didn't want to wait.
