Clothing

I desperately needed new pants before a trip this past fall. I hadn't had a decent pair of rain pants in a couple years, and I really didn't want to hike in my back up rain pants - a pair of Frog Toggs (which work but are really, really ugly and sound like a trash bag is walking with you).

While they are a UK based company, their selection is amazing. They rate the bras for cup size and amount of impact - so you can easily look at a bra and know if it will work out. The site also offers an easy to use search feature where you click on your bra size and it shows you what they have in stock. Genius!

Macabi Skirts are pretty nifty - where them as a skirt, pants or shorts. They are made of Supplex (used in hiking pants often) so they dry fast. Not only are there colors to choose from but they make it for as big a 3X. And they make them for men as well.

Update March 13th, 2008:

I have been using my Macabi skirt for a couple weeks now and very much love it. Looking like a supreme dork I have worn it over wool leggings with hiking boots. Incredibly comfortable and a lot easier to adjust than I thought it would be!
