My wife had a similar problem, although she is a couple of inches taller, she also has a shorter body length. She tried most of the brand name packs & found the Osprey Kestrel fitted fine.Sheesh said:It is a problem for me being short waisted to boot. I'm 5'7", but my torso length is really more in keeping with a small to medium pack, but then the hip belt is correspondingly smaller.
Sheesh said:Hello all. ......
So my question to any plus size gals out there, or any others who may be in-the-know, is for backpack and clothing suggestions. ....
Clothing suggestions too would be much appreciated. I’m in Canada, but not adverse to ordering on-line.
PS: I’m also short-waisted – lucky me (Not!) :roll:
I know this is an old thread @Sheesh but I'm curious to know how did the backpack work for you and what clothes did you end up taking. Any advice would be greatSo my question to any plus size gals out there, or any others who may be in-the-know, is for backpack and clothing suggestions.

Thank you for the amazing tips!!!Pluss size camiga here! "Hated" hiking before I first came to the camino in 2016 and walked SJPdP to Logrono alone. Realised I did not hate hiking, but I hated comparing myself to everyone else and the shame that came along with that. Since than I have walked on the camino two more times arriving in Santiago May 30th this yearThe Camino gave me the love for hiking back! I am now part of the "unlikely hiker" movement and I love it. Hiking Norwegian mountains regularly.
My most important rule is to avoid chafing - as mentioned before I use Body glide or iRelief by Ivyverdue. And I am extremely strict with myself, if I feel any hotspots I have to stop and apply more of the sticks. Usually that is not necessary if I do it properly in the morning. On my feet I use a fat cream in the mornings.
Also, I used thin merino wool for different layers at different caminos (depending on what i had - shorts, t-shirts, sport bra etc) and loved it!
Also, I have carried poles with me and used tham at different rates, but I have loved having them there in case.
Buen Camino!
These are not cheap, but they are the most comfortable and supportive sports bras I have ever had. I don't wear any others any more, anytime.So, I was wondering if any of you ladies have some suggestions for good, supportive bras for women with bigger cup sizes? I am in the Czech Republic so European brands that are available online would be a preference, but I can also order things, and have them shipped to my mom in the US and then she can send them on. Everything else I should be able to get here easily, but I am super worried about the bra issue.
