The North Face Women's Aphrodite 2.0 Capri

I'm somewhere between a size 16 and 18 pant size and the XL fit great. The North Face doesn't do a great job with sizes for bigger people which makes no sense. If the idea is to encourage activity and shrink waistlines, people have to start somewhere and doing it in sub-par gear isn't keeping people out on those trails. I'm fortunate enough to have moved off the plus sized gear from a competitor because their gear was only okay and increasingly annoying. Here's the thing about these Capris: I hike and I paddle board and want to stay covered when I do both. Jeans are okay for hiking except it's now blazing hot and I need something breathable. I also need something durable. The competitor's capris snagged on day 1. So far, I've trampled through some rough stuff and I haven't gotten any snags. First demand met: the snag test. I paddle boarded in these yesterday and oh yes, I ended up in the river and these capris got wet but were dry by the time I got home. To those asking: Why not take a change of clothes, you ninny?? Yeah, I took a change but there wasn't a place to change. I saw a guy just give up and change out of his wet clothes 15 feet away from me (this is Idaho folks, we don't have snazzy restrooms along every take out.) I wasn't going to strip down out there and was willing to see how the capris would perform under my second big demand...quick dry. They did just fine. I'm hoping to fit into a large by the end of the summer but The North Face, keep thinking of the XL folks out here because we're active too! Everybody should get out there and do their thing.
