Salt Lake City, UT (October 28, 2005)—Typically, people don’t brag about wearing the same thing for a week straight, but fans of the Macabi Original Adventure Travel Skirt have good reason to boast. It’s like an Origami skirt, one that reconfigures into many useful shapes. With a snap and a clip, the Macabi Skirt® transforms into various versions of skirts, pants and shorts. When adventure travel calls for light luggage; a wardrobe that’s sensitive to climate and activity changes; and culturally appropriate attire, the Macabi Skirt® springs into action. It makes the packing process easy as pie.

As with most smart and deceptively simple designs, the Macabi Skirt® was born of necessity, albeit in an exotic locale. While bonefishing in the Yucatan fifteen years ago, experienced world traveler Carol Louder found herself in a predicament. She had chosen to wear a skirt to beat the heat yet the billowy material didn’t get along with her fishing line, making a tangled mess. After returning from the fishing trip, Carol sought a snarl-free, quick-drying skirt that could just as easily hike as cocktail—one that would be cool, sun protective and comfortable for most climates and respectful of varying cultures. Unable to find the ultimate travel wear, she used her entrepreneurial spirit to create her own skirt and eventually her own business.

The Macabi Original Adventure Travel Skirt is made of tough but cottony-soft, breathable Supplex® nylon fabric which resists wrinkles and dries at warp speed. A discreet strap and snap combo allow the skirt to convert into pants, shorts and a short skirt. Skirts feature a comfortable elastic drawstring waistband, oversized pockets (for cameras, sunglasses, tchotchkes), zippered security pocket (for passport, Euros, autographs). As an extra bonus, the entire skirt stuffs into the security pocket for efficiency. The hardworking skirt comes in five colors, three lengths and a generous range of sizes. With such adventure travel bling the Macabi Skirt® has proven to be one of the most rugged, versatile, well-traveled garments on the planet. In its spare time, somehow, the Macabi Skirt® managed to clone itself in the form of a men’s skirt. That’s right, men are not discriminated against in the Macabi Skirt® world.

Whether one wishes to wear it for one day or ten in a row; to Pamplona for the running of the bulls, a casual business dinner in Boulder or a Bhutanese temple, the Macabi Skirt® can make the trip. For more information and entertaining stories, go to www.macabiskirt.com.
