Pants That Fit

If you’re a woman and an Outdoor Pro you’ve probably experienced difficulty finding gear that fits. The Ben Team has heard this complaint quite a bit. Professional quality products have traditionally been available only in men's sizes and cuts. So, for years, women Outdoor Pros have had trouble finding clothes, boots, gloves, etc. crafted just for them.

With this in mind, our Business Unit Manager, Hava is constantly in search of products that work for women. This is why she recently gave a pair of Arborwear pants a try. While these pants are not designed specifically for women they are designed for tree climbers. This means they have a shorter more tapered leg and the waist fits a little higher in order to prevent chafing from sitting in a saddle all day. These features intrigued Hava and she discovered the pants fit really well.

Hava’s not the only person who has found these pants work well for women. An Outdoor Pro in Arkansas, Linny also tried a pair of size 28 Arborwear pants and this is what she had to say:

I just wanted to drop you and line and let you know how much I appreciate them. . . they are exactly what you said. . . they fit, they are well made and they will last out in the woods. . . I will definitely use them in the field . . .

In addition to experimenting with existing products, the Ben Team has been working hard to find high-quality field gear created especially for women. Product Manger, Paul M. has added great gear like field coats from Sorel, rain suits from Helly Hansen, work shoes from Timberland and thermal base layers from Medalist. Check out our Web site for our ever-expanding selection of right-sized, professional quality gear for women.

We’re grateful that Linny let us know about gear that works for women in the field. We’d also like to hear from you. If you have had an experience with any of our products that will help female Outdoor Pros (or any Outdoor Pro for that matter) choose the right equipment drop Hava a line at:
