WayWalker63 said:I am going to be walking my first Camino in September next year. I am quite new to the hiking/fitness world but want to start training now to get my self Camino ready. So my questions are about clothing for the trail. I am a plus sized woman at present but working on becoming less so. Finding plus sized clothing in an outdoor or sports store hasn't been very fruitful. They seem to think all active people are thin to begin with :roll:
1. What do I look for in a good supportive bra that is comfortable and when washed will dry quickly? Any brands that you can suggest and that I can find in the U.S.?
2. Same as above for panties?
3. I can find some active wear pants in plus sizes but they seem pretty light weight which is good for FL heat but what do you wear on the road when the weather turns cooler? A base layer underneath enough? Where do you shop?
Any other suggestions you have in regards to clothing either for the Camino specifically or for active/walking type wear are totally welcome. If there are some European brands to look for I will be in Ireland in October of this year so I could look for them there.

I never have adequate rain gear so having the Altus will be very helpful cause generally half our holidays are spent very very wet ... our luck with weather is abysmal.(...)

To Margaret,
Thanks for the Decathlon link, you're right, those prices are very reasonable
Chacharm said:Have you looked at SPANX bras? They make one that is all hosiery. Very comfortable and dries quickly. The other bra I took that was my favorite was one I can't remember the name of, but you see it in all the outdoor stores. Their ad is "5 countries, 2 months and one pair of panties (ok, maybe two)". They also make a great bra. Both the panties and the bra were comfortable and dried very quickly. I took two pair of panties and regretted it - I should have had three.

They wash easily, are very light-weight, yet opaque, dry very quickly and hold their shape. They are stretchy enough to provide support. I like the darker ones, because even when you're cold, no one would know it...if you know what I mean! I'm not taking a bra, and I've been wearing big, heavy underwire bras since I was young!

Buen camino and keep up the good work.
