Does anyone sell skirts with holes in them to allow the use of a hand
pump?


Sure. Just one example at REI:

Oh, I wonder if those zipper positions would work for a pump?



Dunno; you'd have to look at it.

My Kokotat has a template for a cutout near the front of the skirt. Apparently
they use the same skirt blank as the model with the actual zipper (I did not opt
for the zipper). IIRC, it was advertised specifically for pump access among
other things.
