I like Columbia. But then - Columbia is one of the few outdoor/active brands that actually fits a size 16 woman. C'mon, how about some love for the larger women who want to be active outside?? Eddie Bauer sometimes has cute stuff (now it's mostly casual stuff, but they do still have some lightly technical offerings). I have shopped at REI - I love REI - but rarely for clothing, alas. Good suggestion to browse & try stuff on there, though. The store brand is pretty good.[/QUOTE]
I can also recommend REI brand and stores for trying on. Besides REI brand, I had good luck with Columbia and Prana (I’m 5‘3 and curvy).
