Timberland’s Design Your Own Boots
February 24, 2012
Finally, pink boots. Okay, maybe not pink. Then again, why not? Yes, pink it is. With Timberland’s new “Design Your Own Boots” services, you can choose any of several styles, colors and even add some embroidery with your initials. In all cases, they’re still made from great quality waterproofed leather. Here we go: pink for […]
Columbia Women’s Baselayer Midweight Stripe Tight
February 23, 2012
We sometimes like to wear something just a little funky, especially when it seems to work so well. Columbia’s Baselayer tights have these reflective dots (that radiate your heat back to you) in the spots that need warmth and moisture wicking in spots where you sweat. Very smart. They also apply an antimicrobial treatment that […]
Athleta Super G Sweater
February 23, 2012
Athleta, which turns out to be a new division of The Gap, makes this classic Super G Sweater, and amazingly, it is machine washable. With its jacquard print, zip mock neck and moisture wicking breathable knit, this is one of those staple items for looking very cute in the very cold, and how can you […]
Smartwool Women’s Lightweight Asymmetrical Zip
February 22, 2012
We love Merino Wool, cozy and breathable, and Smartwool with their Asymmetrical Zip provides a stylish form-fitting layer fit just for women. The sleeves fit over your wrists to keep them warm, and they’ve cleverly moved the seams so they don’t rub when you wear a backpack (“reduced chafing”). It’s like design scientists actually thought about […]
OluKai Ohana sandals
February 22, 2012
In keeping with our warm weather dreams today, OluKai’s Ohana sandals come in a lot of brilliant colors and are especially comfortable due to both their midsoles which provide a lot of support and their bottom soles which grip to wet surfaces (two things so many sandals amazingly don’t seem to address). Somehow, we always […]
Arc’teryx Trino Jersey LS
February 21, 2012
Aside from coming in Mardi Gras’s purple and yellow colors, Arc’teryx’s new Trino Jersey is one of the few that we’ve found that has two pockets in the back (one that’s perfect for an iPod) and is made from a quick dry and breathable fabric. Just perfect for a run in the nippy weather.
Outdoors Research Ambit Gloves
February 17, 2012
Touch-screen-friendly. Wait, did we say touch-screen-friendly? Wait, does that mean we can use an iPhone (or iPod) on the slopes without taking off our gloves? Yes it does. Outdoors Research has released these Ambit Gloves™ with TouchTec™ technology. While we hate that word “technology” when it comes to being outdoorsy, we have to give it to […]
Icebreaker Womens Oasis V Printed
February 17, 2012
Okay, ready for a mouthful? This is Icebreaker’s “Merino Wool Long Sleeve Womens Oasis V Printed Bodyfit Active Base Layer.” You can skip most of those words. The important ones are “Merino Wool” which means that it is super warm and breathes really well and “Layer” which just means that it fits closely to the […]
Jaclyn Molded Soft Cup Sports Bra
February 14, 2012
It’s Valentine’s Day, and yes TrailblazerGirl does wear something under all of that other gear. While others may prefer lace, we concern ourselves with other delicate issues like whether it will fit well under our fitted hiking shirts, whether it can work as a racer-back bra and whether it can help with, ahem, let’s just […]
Outdoor Research Lightstorm Bucket Rain Hat
February 13, 2012
The rains are finally coming down, and so we’ve pulled out this cute blue bucket rain hat. It’s actually waterproof and Tricot lined, and the drawstring keeps it on when a gust of wind blows. By the way, Tricot lined means that it is fabric is knitted in a way that’s stronger, and the brim […]
Tifosi Altar Gloss White & Teal
February 9, 2012
Tifosi (Italian for “super fan” or “enthusiast”) makes several models of sport glasses, but the Altar model is designed specifically to fit women. The Altar, more for biking, hiking, running, golf and tennis, has interchangeable lenses, but the real interesting part is the frame that is designed a bit smaller and with adjustable ear pieces […]
Donna Karan Parka With Detachable Hood
February 9, 2012
Admittedly, we’re pre-occupied with the start of Fashion Week today, so we’re naturally drawn to think about après-ski wear. Donna Karan has designed this High Performance Fiber Filled Drawstring Parka with a Detachable Hood, and it meets all of our obvious requirements for being functional and staying warm while also meeting our secret inner requirements […]
Betsey Johnson Pretty Floral Skull Cap
February 9, 2012
Who says staying warm can’t be uber-stylish? And, we wanted to do just that to celebrate the start of New York Fashion Week today. While me might also ogle at the runways, there are the occasional items, like this lace-pattered knit cap with crocheted flowers by Betsey Johnson, that TrailblazerGirl might actually wear… well, maybe […]

Keeping feet warm in the backcountry during winter, and protecting against frostbite, is one of our biggest concerns, and these “Hot Socks” do just that. Put them on immediately after shoes come off, and they’ll keep your feet warm and cozy. It works better than letting your feet cool down and then trying to re-warm […]
Go Red Exercise Tank
February 6, 2012
A cute little black dress is great, but The American Heart Association has this cute little red V-neck tank-top which is even more perfect for us, something to throw on for a quick set of tennis or hike up the hill with friends. It makes even more sense since February is American Heart Month (a […]
