Thank you for your offer, Jason! Here's something you can ask all of them:
Why, why don't the gear and clothing manufacturers realize that many of us women don't want bright colors because we want to be inconspicuous out in the wilderness, for security reasons as well as for consideration of others? I'm not the only woman out there who passionately hates pink and purple! We don't want black, either--shows the dirt (and in my case, dog hair) too much. How about some nice subdued grays, tans, blue-grays and gray-greens? If men can have these colors in their clothing and gear, why not women?
Excellent point! I don't think your the only one with this concern. I see a trend happening with the women's specific outerware that may be heading in this direction. I know at Westcomb (I have to plug it) there are examples of both. Some of our jackets are subdued while others are more 'showy' and 'girly'. I'll try to give you a general accounting of how I see women's technical clothing and where it's heading.
