"A high-waisted fit, secure pockets, sweat-wicking spandex, and a flattering cut made the Blyss Skirt II the one we returned to again and again. (An alternate accolade for this skirt: “best twirl.”) On a high-alpine jaunt outside Bishop, California, we tucked a phone into one of the thigh pockets, snacks into the other one, and secured our car keys into the back zippered pouch. Elastic sewn around the thigh openings means the five-inch compression shorts didn’t ride up and everything we carried stayed firmly in place."
