It is so exciting that brands are now recognizing that us chicks are gearheads, too.

I could only imagine twenty years ago how sports and the outdoors are reserved

for perhaps a limited and small number of women, and hence,

the availability of quality apparel and gear was limited.

And I hope that the growing athleisure market is a sign that:

a. women demand more quality and high efficient gear that truly work because,

b.  more of us are out there actually doing these sports and outdoor activities than ever before.

Cartwheels.

While I'm frustrated to see that people still hike in cotton socks,

or that finding the perfect fit of cycling shorts is just as difficult as rock climbing shoes,

I do hope that by sharing what I've learned from other people on the trails and mountains, 

I could spare some of you the frustration by publishing gear that I've tested myself.
