About Women’s Gear Guide

You can expect honest, engaging and experiential-based women’s gear reviews and overviews of all the female specific gear that we can get our paws on. You’ll find reviews ranging from alpine ski and snowboard equipment to backcountry and touring gear to climbing and biking to hiking and camping, as well as footwear.

You’ll also find athlete and mover and shaker stories plus outdoor women’s events, camps and clinics (once it’s safe to gather again). We believe that the more you know about a sport, its products and developmental history, as well as its community the better informed you’ll be as customer and the more enjoyment you’ll experience in the outdoors.

Women’s Gear Guide FAQs

Why is women’s outdoor gear important?

In the words of women’s gear pioneer Jeannie Thoren “women are not small men.” We have a lower center of gravity than men; women are more pear shaped, while men are more apple shaped. These differences in our center of gravity translates to differing body alignment to appropriately address and disperse our body weight. Our center of gravity dictates our structure and alignment. Thus, women have wider hips to address their lower center of gravity and men have wider shoulders to address theirs. Women also have more flexible feet, narrower heels, higher arches and lower calf muscles. Products that take these differences into consideration are tantamount to a woman’s comfort, stability, ease of use and confidence in her outdoor activities.

What type of gear is the most important to be women’s specific?

Certain items are thoughtfully and specifically designed for women, particularly smaller and lighter women, they include: backpacking packs, hiking shoes, running shoes, mountain biking frames, chamois, skis, ski boots, snowboard boots, ski/snowboard jackets, ski/snowboard pants, and baselayers.
