These are some of my favorite outdoor apparel recommendations. It can be difficult to find outdoor apparel for someone who is short and on the heavier side (me lol). I’ve found these companies have inclusive sizing on a lot of their products.

Footwear and Socks
My favorite shoes and socks to keep your feet comfortable and blister free!
Brooks Addiction are my go-to walking shoes. I have had multiple pairs and have never been disappointed. They come in wide widths and have great ankle support.
Addiction Shoes | Walking Shoes with Arch Support | Brooks Running
These shoes are very comfortable and have a lot of padding. Great for if you’re on your feet all day. The padding can take a little getting used to but after a few wears, they’re great. Comes in wide widths too!
Bondi 8 Max Cushioned Road Running Shoe - HOKA
These socks are worth every penny! I have the hiking socks and ankle socks and both are wonderful for preventing blisters.
Swiftwick - Equipment to Take You Further
I’m on my 2nd pair and they are the best hiking shoes I’ve found. They are truly waterproof. I have wide feet and they are super comfortable. They hold up really well.

This shirt is so soft and comfortable!
Women's Cool Fitted T-Shirt - 32 Degrees
This tank is great to wear while hiking on a hot day as well as a sleep shirt. It's really light and cool!
WOMEN'S COOL RELAXED SLEEP TANK
This is one of the more comfortable sports bras I've found. The only downside are the removal bra pads. They do tend to slide around but they're pretty easy to adjust. Once you have the bra on, they stay in place.
WOMEN'S SEAMLESS RACERBACK SPORTS BRA
I love this Bralette for lounging. The removal bra pads do slide around but they are pretty easy to adjust and once you have the bra on, they stay in place.
WOMEN'S COOL BRALETTE
I am officially a boxer girl after trying these. They are so soft and don't ride up at all. The inseam is 5 inches and they really help prevent chafing while hiking.
Baller Black 2.0
These boxers have a 3in inseam and are so soft! They don't ride up at all. Lots of other colors available as well!

32 degrees is my favorite company for basic outdoor wear. The clothing is so comfortable and their clothing holds up really well. The prices are amazing and they often run incredible sales. Most of their products have extended sizes and they run true...
