I’m looking for some good, high-end, gear for the winter season (XC skiing, etc). I’m looking for recommendations or if anyone knows if Patagonia, Marmot, Mountain Hardwear, etc., offers petite sizing. My arms and torso are short, so I normally wear petite clothing but can’t seem to find good gear with a proper fit. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Horny Toad - their stuff has never fit me because the torso part of the garment is too short (I’m tall).
Sporthill makes great cross country ski stuff and has some petite sizing.
Athleta has a pretty good selection of petite stuff as does REI.
I’ve worked as a climbing and mountaineering instructor for a long time and next to their long underwear, I’ve found Patagonia clothing unreliable. I like Arcteryx for my short torso, but it can be expensive. I’ve had great luck with REI brand clothing, Mountain Hardware, and Ibex for running and cycling.
