I need good support. Larger breasted and want to get rid of the underwire. Sports bras are the only ones that seem to fit the criteria so far. I can find a quick drying bra in a 14DD with wide side panels and straps that won't irritate. Just throwing it out there. If found... This bra...
Kanga... I went into Lorna Jane today. Some nice alternatives but note enough support if you are larger breasted. I'll try again. I'm trying to dodge underwire, fastening at back or front hold me tight and light weight. I think I'm asking too much... We will see :)
Aggghhhhh.... Out of curtain fabric that was lined with a rubber type lining. They kept the spear grass and cobblers pegs at bey, the rain of their boots and lasted forever.
Thanks Doug. Please tell me to desist if my endless banter gets too much..... But a rain jacket ... Is is called gortex? ... Sorry but I remember seeing them in Kathmandu.
Again many thanks!

Hi Dougfitz,
I'm sorry for the imposition. I'm finding my way around here slowly but can not find how to post a question now. I thought I'd mastered this. Even though Susannah gave me some good advice. I think it may have to do with the iPad. Somewhere someone spoke on accommodation in Leon...
Doug, again you are a wealth of information! I don't understand why Australia is so backward with a lot of their gear! Truly astonishing considering all the wonderful places that we can walk. I'm heading to Cania Gorge in Central Queensland to do one of their longer walks in two weeks. Such...
Thank you manoll for your comment about the bra. I have a heavier bosom on a small frame. A breast cancer survivor. I need a bra that will hold me firm but be light weight. Front opening or back. Does anyone have any suggestions?
My next question Dougfitz is I've been reading a little about tips of the trekking poles. Mine have solid metal points but I've seen a photograph of poles with rubbery suction caps. What should I use? Can I change the tips on my poles? And should I?
Hi Dougfitz, This is exactly what I am finding. I can find the pack online but cannot purchase it as they don't import to Australia. I'm going to have to start again. I'm using an ill fitting osprey at the moment with 3kg am I'm reluctant to add anymore weight until I get a pack that fits...
T2andreo you are amazing! Thank you so much for this advice. I live in country Australia so it now appears I need to travel to Brisbane to try on my pack. I thought I could buy it online. Had my heart set on a Deuters AC Aera 28 SL but unfortunately it is not for sale in Australia...
Thank you Wayfarer and Kanga, I'm looking for a 28 to 30 litre pack. Do you suggest a particular one? I'm not a fan of the top opening packs.
I'm planning to use my Vibrams. I've never had any problems with them. Mind you after the training that I am doing I may need a new pair.
I'm...
