Plus Size Outdoors Clothing Guide
We know finding clothing and kit to fit plus size bodies is difficult, so we’ve shared what we’re aware of. This is an ever evolving list so please email hello@everybodyoutdoors.co.uk if you have something to add to the list.
At the moment the kit is focused on womens clothing, but we hope to expand it to mens soon. We are also focused initially on hiking clothing but hope to cover more activities in the future.
