Wondering why these skirts are so popular for this walk???

OK where do I start!!!! I wear my many Macabi skirts all year round and have on both of my caminos. They are lightweight, take up no room when packed, are water resistant (DWR finish and you can reapply DWR finish on older skirts), they are unisex, you can hike 'em up, make pants out of them, make (ok goofy looking but who cares when you are on the trail) short skirt out of them, dirt/mud sloughs right off as soon as it dries, you can purchase in colors that match the dirt you're walking on, worn with leggings they cut the wind and I've been comfortable on those 3°C mornings, on those 40°C afternoons they shield your legs from that hot sun, when washed and then snapped a few times to take off excess water, dry within a few hours, they have both belt loops and elastic at the waist (so if you are lucky enough to lose weight on your caminos your skirts won't fall off), the pockets are to die for! there should be a law that says clothing manufacturers must use the cavernous deep pockets that the Macabi skirts do, along with an interior zipped security pocket in one and a cell phone pocket inside the other, if you are shy about dressing in public you can put the skirt on over your shoulders and dress underneath then pull it down to normal position, you can change your undies and leggings under it with out anyone seeing, you can stop for an off trail pee stop (or off the side of the 2 lane road in Colorado where there hadn't been a rest stop in 60 miles...) and shield yourself while doing your business...Anyone else want to add to this list!!???

Edited to add -> I have a small wallet with a lanyard that is hooked to my Macabi belt and the wallet is slipped into a skirt pocket. That way it never leaves me. You can fit your iPad mini in a pocket or your guide book or both (or neither).
