These pants are seriously so perfect for any activity! They are lightweight, comfortable, breathable, and so cute! I’m thinking about buying multiple pairs just so I can wear them all the time.

This has been my go-to top this summer. It’s really easy to dress up or down and has such a flattering cut.
Rib-Knit Tank Top | Old Navy
Such a great top layer in warm weather with. It’s super lightweight and is very breathable so you won’t overheat in it!

Shoes
When I say these are the comfiest sandals I’ve ever tried, I mean it. They have such great arch support and they make your feet feel like you’re walking on clouds. I wear these pretty much everyday in the summer and I have the tan lines to prove it!
Teva Hurricane XLT2 Sandals - Women's | REI Co-op
These hiking boots are great! My feet are super wide and I feel like I have enough room for when my feet get swollen to still be comfortable. I do recommend adding some arch support inserts when wearing these.

I love the Clifton 10’s! They come in wide and feel like I’m walking on a marshmallow!

Hiking
Trekking poles are a game changer when it comes to hiking! I’ve been using these inexpensive ones and I notice my posture is a lot better and it takes a lot of stress off my back and legs!
Cascade Mountain Tech Aluminum Quick Lock Trekking Poles with Cork Grips
This is my favorite day pack to take hiking! It’s big enough to fit a 40oz bottle, some snacks, and a few other items. I love the pockets on the shoulder straps and usually put things there for quick access.

Water Activities
I was so nervous to start kayaking as a plus size person but this kayak is incredible! The stability is amazing and I don’t feel squished while in it. I did add a seat as it doesn’t come with one. I am quite a bit larger than its weight capacity, so ...
Lifetime Tahoma 100 Sit-On-Top Kayak
I swear by these dry bags. I usually keep some snacks, clothes, and things like keys in them and I’ve never had an issue with things getting wet. I love the colors and that they come in different sizes!
3 PC Dry Bag Set
The MOST important thing when doing water activities. It’s not the cutest, but having a life jacket is peace of mind. I love that these come in extended sizes and the mesh on the shoulders don’t restrict me when I’m paddling.
