Back in the day, outdoor companies didn’t make women’s specific gear. Whether you needed a new backpack or a pair of hiking pants, men’s equipment was your only option.

I haven’t always been the outdoorsy type of person. Sure, I had always preferred walking instead of driving, and during the warmer months, my bicycle is my most prized possession, but hiking and camping were something entirely different. Somehow, I had always thought of them as reserved for hardcore nature enthusiasts willing to get sweaty, muddy, and unafraid of bugs or snakes.
