SKHOOP Short Down Skirt
Serious Warmth. Very Little Skirt.
The SKHOOP Short Down Skirt delivers meaningful winter warmth in a lightweight, flattering silhouette that never feels bulky. Filled with 650-fill RDS-certified down, it protects your core, hips, and seat while leaving your legs free to move, making it an easy layer for cold walks, Nordic skiing, snowshoeing, commuting, outdoor events, and après.
Designed to pull on over leggings, base layers, or everyday clothes, the full-length side zipper lets you put it on without removing your boots. A shorter zipper on the opposite side opens from the hem for a longer stride, while the dropped back provides a little extra coverage exactly where you want it.
Why You’ll Love It

The Bottom Line
The Short Down Skirt is the quick, lightweight solution for cold hips, a chilly backside, and winter days when leggings alone are not enough. It provides the warmth of a small puffer without restricting your legs or complicating your outfit.
Keep it near the door for dog walks, stash it in your ski bag for après, or pack it for cold-weather travel. It weighs almost nothing and solves a surprisingly large number of winter problems.
Fit Guidelines
Choose your SKHOOP skirt size primarily by your hip measurement, taken at the fullest part of your hips and seat. The rear waist elastic provides some flexibility and helps accommodate layers underneath.
If your waist and hip measurements fall into different sizes, use your hip measurement. If you are between sizes or plan to wear the skirt over heavier clothing, choose the larger size.
