Ultimate Active Travel Wear: Aventura Kineta Skort Capri

I love the comfort of skirts when I travel, but c’mon…when you’re riding a bike, hiking, walking, and I don’t know, perhaps zip-lining all in one day, a skirt just isn’t going to cut it. Enter Aventura Clothing’s new Kineta Skort Capri, the new love of my life.

Honestly, the second I saw this skort in the Aventura Clothing preview, I knew it would be perfect for travel. Apparently, everyone else knew this too, because it was almost immediately on backorder.

But I got my hands on it, and tried it out through Costa Rica. Spoiler alert: I was right…the Kineta Skort Capri is all it promised to be.

This skort/capri hybrid is a 14″ active skirt, paired with 19.5″ capri spandex leggings, which are a one-piece unit. The skirt is meant for active travel days: it has cute side ruching that gives it a sporty look (and helps it move with your body), and two side pockets that are roomy enough to fit a phone or small camera.

There’s a zippered security pocket at the back waist, and the whole poly/spandex blend ensemble is machine washable.

You can get the Kineta in the aforementioned capri combo, or get the skort version, which features a 16″ skirt paired with a 5″ spandex blend short.

It’s $72 to the capri’s $79, so I wouldn’t make the decision based on price, but rather on personal style preference.  It’s worth noting that the skort version has smaller side pockets in the skirt, though it does still have the security pocket.

The capri version comes in two basic colors: ‘solid black’ (meaning the skirt color and the capri color are both black) or ‘black’ (black skirt and gray and black striped capri leggings).

The skort version comes in ‘black’, which is actually a black skirt but gray and black striped shorts, or ‘gray’, which is a gray skirt and gray and red striped shorts. Hello, confusing!

The bottom line is, this is a skirt you can do anything in, and will look sporty doing it. The spandex blend means it won’t wrinkle in your suitcase, and you’ll probably get a lot of wear out of this item at home, too.

I have worn mine for springtime hikes locally, and plan to bring it along when we go to Iceland, where we’ll be doing lots of walking and climbing. Pick up either skort version at Aventura or on Amazon.
