Outdoor Equipment Shops

Anybody know of a shop/website that sells decent outdoor wear for “traditionally built” ie plus-size ladies?

I’m a UK size 26 and looking for a pair of sturdy, lightweight trousers (preferably dark blue) that won’t get totally ruined if I wear them while camping and hiking in Switzerland. I’m aware that most brands think we fat folk live in jeans and tracky bottoms, but neither of these is appropriate for me to go and climb mountains in!

How do the government or any of these companies expect us large people to get out doors and do active stuff to get fit if we can’t get suitable equipment, which in my view includes clothing?!

Sonoma – they sell all kinds of Plus size sporting clothing.

Another one to check out it… I love this site…
