So there are several things in my BOB that are female specific but I am still looking for some other items but am not sure what exactly to get such as boots, thermals, underwear, sleeping bag..
So it got me thinking that we could have a thread where we can list some of the female specific stuff we have and recommend to help eachother out. I know a big issue I'm coming across is knowing which brands or materials are best and like to know what another womans thoughts are on the items before I purchase them.
So if there are any women specific items you have in your BOB and like, list em
Things I Recommend
Cloth Pads - Fuzzibunz Pads
They feel as soft as fleece and I've had zero issues with leaking or moisture. They fold up under the snap too so that you can store them easily or fold them up after use so they are not out in the open. I got the 3 pack of regulars & the 3 pack of the supers (from amazon).
Backpack -Deuter Women's Futura Pro 34 SL
The straps & waist are designed for a womans frame. The shoulder straps are very comfy & well padded and it has a frame thing that seperates the bag from your back so that you can get air flow. Also comes with a rain cover which is really nice.
Coat - Columbia Lafayette Street Jacket
Omni-Tech Waterproof & breathable, underarm vents & powder skirt to keep snow & cold air from going up your coat. This is a really nice coat and I used it all winter long and it kept me nice & toasty in the cold single digit weather.
Bra -Moving Comfort Women's Grace Sports Bra
Has a front zipper that has material flap behind the zipper so it doesn't dig into your skin or chaff it. The razorback is a mesh material for airflow. Really comfortable and the front zipper is so nice when your body is in pain or you are sweaty and don't want to pull tight clothing over your head. (from amazon)
Pants - The North Face Womens Horizon Tempest Pants
Lightweight, quick-drying and ripstop. They can be rolled up and buttoned to turn them into capri's. Has a drawstring which is really nice. The pants can also be folded up into its own stow pocket.
I also have a really nice fleece sweater but I can't remember the name of it so I'll add it later.
A lot of the stuff I got on sale, like my coat was $200 but I got it on clearance for $60 at Sierra Trading Post so I highly recommend that place. I got most of my stuff there or from Amazon.
Hopefully when I get some more stuff and test it out I'll be able to list more. Looking forward to your recommendations. :thumb:
