BRANDS THAT SELL PLUS SIZE OUTDOOR and active CLOTHING AND GEAR 3XL AND UP
Please note: Just because a company or brand has made this list does not mean I personally have tried it or that the sizing is consistent or "true to size". Please check reviews and comments from folks who have tried the brand to make the best decision for you. Plus sizes are notoriously inconsistent and sometimes run small. This is a list to help start your search. Also, most of these are U.S. or Canadian companies. If you have more suggestions for this list, please contact me and I'll add them. -Andrea
