items 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.

WOMEN'S SOFT SWEATER KNIT CARDIGAN
I am always hot and sweaty when hiking, no matter the temp. This vest is great for those in between days where it's too hot for a coat but too cold with just a shirt. It comes in a variety of colors so it works with any outfit. The material is very durable.
WOMEN'S LIGHTWEIGHT PACKABLE VEST
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.

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.
Women's Moab 3
Great, every day socks. I love no-show socks, especially if I'm wearing shorts and sneakers (I just think my legs look better that way lol). The socks stay in place and have extra padding in the heel and toe areas.
WOMEN'S 6-PACK COOL COMFORT NO SHOW SOCKS
This is the ankle version of the comfort socks. These are also great, every socks and I wear them a lot for walking and exercising. The socks stay in place and have extra padding in the heel and toe areas.

Base layers
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!
Star Black 2.0
While this shirt makes a nice base layer, I wear these almost every day. I work from home so these are comfy and I don't have to change if I'm on camera. The fabric holds up really well. I've had one of these shirts for nearly 2 years and it's still looks great!
WOMEN'S LIGHTWEIGHT BASELAYER SCOOP TOP
This shirt is the same version as the scoop top with just a different neck line. While this shirt makes a nice base layer, I wear these almost every day. I work from home so these are comfy and I don't have to change if I'm on camera. The fabric hold...
WOMEN'S LIGHTWEIGHT BASELAYER CREW TOP
These are my go-to every day leggings. I also wear them as a base layer. They are super comfortable and stretchy. I have had several pairs for over a year and there are no holes in them at all, which is unusual for me!
WOMEN'S MIDWEIGHT BASELAYER LEGGING
These are a heavier version of the midweight legging. These are my go-to for cold weather hikes. They work great under snow pants and really keep the warmth in.

Sleep/Loungewear
We all want to be comfy while we relax and sleep.
These are my every day sleep pants. They are so soft and comfortable with a drawstring. The only complaint I have is that they are pretty long and I do have to watch my feet! There are a variety of colors available.
WOMEN'S COOL SLEEP PANT
These are the same material as the sleep pants. I wear this shirt year round. It's comfortable and still looks great after over a year of frequent washing.
WOMEN'S COOL RELAXED SLEEP T-SHIRT
This is the tank top version of the sleep shirt. I love these for summer. The material is lightweight and cooling. It comes in a variety of colors.
