This skort has a skirt over 3.5 inch-long compression shorts, with two slits in front for easy motion. And it offers all the benefits of just having one waistband instead of two. The Bonita skirt comes in a variety of colors, including a pink ribbon version that benefits breast cancer. Sizes XS to XL.

This combo will prevent chafing with an inner bike short and an outer tennis skirt. Feel feminine and fresh as the fabric wicks away moisture and prevents chafing. The skirt is slit at each side for easy motion. I found the skirt fabric in front to be annoying; I prefer shorts. On the other hand, the skirt helps hide your lumps and bulges, so it may give you more confidence when exercising in public. Each leg has an inner pocket intended for tennis balls. Since they face downward, I don't know what else you could use them for. Skirt length 17 inches, short inseam 5.5 inches. Available in plus sizes XL to 6X.

This running skirt is made of DryFit polyester/spandex for moisture control. It has internal compression shorts which will help prevent upper thigh chafing. I like the wide, flat waistband. You can carry your cell phone, iPod or small essentials in the back "origami" pocket. Unlike most other running skirts, it has no side slits in the skirt. It comes in two conservative colors -- black or dark gray -- and comes in sizes XS to XL.
4. Bornfit Wilder Skort
I love Bornfit's 2-inch wide waistband. It's supportive and comfortable. Their running/walking skort is just the right length for me. It covers my buns while not being long enough to impede my leg motion for fitness walking. This new version has lightweight fabric in a wrap style over the integrated shorts. It has a key pocket. The undershorts have a 4.25" inseam and the overskirt is 14" long. Comes in sizes XS - XXL.
5. Sub4USA Women's Skort
This skort is made of DRYLYTE to wick away sweat. I love the flirty flared style of the wraparound skirt. It has an off-center slit in front so your motion isn't restricted. Underneath are compression shorts to help with performance and preventing chafing. Available in S-XL and several colors.
6. Lucy Running Skirts
I've seen some fun running skirt designs at Lucy. Get them before they are gone, as it appears they often have limited sizes and colors. One interesting one is a combo capri and running skirt.
