Now, I want to know how functional that thigh pocket on the skirt really is! (I use the thigh pockets on shorts part of both my Terry skorts all the time and love them.) Can't say I'm terribly enthusiastic about a bow-tie pocket closure. How would you work that while riding? And while the skirt is blowing backward in the wind?
Oooh, and $100? Ouch.
But I really like the idea.

Ooh, I LOVE that skort! But I have to agree that the bow on the pocket is questionable--seems like a velcro closure would've been better. Maybe we could wait and see if TE gets them, then ask Susan for her opinion of the pocket.

I don't think the bow closes the pocket, I think the top of the pocket is drawstring. More of a decorative thing.

Bother, I just tried to create an account on the terry website so that I could buy lots of lovely kit and it keeps returning a blank. Am I the only one who has this problem?
I really wanted to buy one of their skorts - seems like such a great idea.

We decided not to carry the cargo skort. I felt the pocket was impractical. It seems to me that anything with any weight to it would either bounce around on your thigh or weigh down/pull down the outer skort to the side. It would probably work for something that wasn't too heavy, though, like carrying your armwarmers or something. In fairness, though, I haven't worn the cargo skort myself, so I don't want to torpedo something that might work really well for some people. If someone does opt to purchase it, I hope you'll post your feedback!
