However, their stuff goes fast, so I wouldn't wait for a sale. Columbia makes plus sized clothing, which is a relief. Their stuff is top-notch quality. Also, Lands End has some activewear as well.

I take a 3X everywhere else, but need a 4X at Eddie Bauer. I just cut the tag out so I don't feel bothered by the number. Junonia sleeves are longer than Lands End but shorter than Eddie Bauer. @Toni: you are correct that their plus sizes run small, however they go up to 4X.

I live in Florida (for now), so I only hike trails and parks November through May. In the summer months it's 95 degrees and 80% humidity, so I melt before I even hit the trail. I can't wait to be in an environment where I can try out some of these tips. Excellent article. I live in Florida (for now), so I only hike trails and parks November through May.

Good luck on your search, and please come back and let us know if you find more plus-size-friendly outdoor retailers. I'm always on the lookout for them. Celeste - I haven't tried Eddie Bauer because I haven't found their sizing to be very generous. It's been a while, though. Thanks for the tip - I have longer arms despite being a shorty at 5'5". Tee - Me too. Humidity and I do not get along. Peeps – That’s what we’re here for!
