One is Eastern Mountain Sports (EMS) in Dulles, VA, who didn't even have MEN'S sizes past size 40! The other is REI in Fairfax, VA. They at least had the men's XXL, and apparently they carry SOME women's extended sizes. On one rack they had pants up to size 16 and then TWO size 24W's (I'm an 18W)! The girl on the floor said that sometimes REI sends odd sizes like that or they may be returns from web purchases. So apparently they EXIST, but they don't carry them.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04709345711323446312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014311846826424963.post-32553227898016615232010-05-27T14:44:46.121-07:002010-05-27T14:44:46.121-07:00I just got directed to your site by a woman who kn...I just got directed to your site by a woman who knows both of us. She read my woes on my blog about shopping last night for hiking gear. Holy cow, what an experience! I literally had to buy a men's size XXL-30L because my size 18 butt wouldn't fit in their size 16's that are barely a size 14. I can't tell you how discouraged I felt last night -- I've lost 75 pounds so far; and though I don't look great as I have another 75 to lose, I feel better not lugging around all that weight. That went out the window last night as apparently, as I found out, hiking has a weight limit. o_OBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04709345711323446312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014311846826424963.post-5313380935551507272010-05-12T18:30:50.143-07:002010-05-12T18:30:50.143-07:00Write your own letters, and/or send me emails of b...Write your own letters, and/or send me emails of businesses I should target for mild public excoriation!Jayne_SFThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02970528922917350029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014311846826424963.post-39228624621996292002010-05-12T12:29:12.864-07:002010-05-12T12:29:12.864-07:00When I find something that fits and is great(I wil...When I find something that fits and is great(I will no longer settle for ok) I buy A LOT.So sad we are left out of so much of the market because of the assumption that fat= inactive.
