It's not often we include a gear review as a stand-alone article in the magazine. When we learned about Alisa Otto and her mission to give women and under-represented bodies a voice in the outdoors, we knew we needed to help her amplify those voices in a unique and new way. We also know many more people like Alisa are doing work in the outdoor industry and bucking what is considered "the norm. " They are living their truth- even when it's unconventional. So, in Alisa's honor, we designed this new series called Amplify, where we do just that- amplify people, businesses, nonprofits, basically anyone doing good in the outdoor space.
What is so unique about Ottomatic Threads that we were inspired to start a new series? They believe there are too many body shapes and sizes underserved in the outdoor apparel industry, and it is their honor to provide clothing that allows those bodies to adventure, explore, and be seen! A 100% woman-owned and led micro-factory based in Texas, they design and make outdoor apparel in sizes XS-6X! Alisa saw a need and made it happen, even though it was something that many said couldn't be done.
Ottomatic Thread's 2nd Gen Base Layers are super comfortable, made extremely well, fit perfectly, and are sooooo cozy. Made from a moisture-wicking and odor-reducing, 88% Cationic Polyester and 12% Spandex fabric. They are somewhat structured with just enough stretch, so they move perfectly with your body without feeling "limp. " The top has thumbholes and trimmed functional pockets on each side panel (not tiny pockets made just for looks).
These layers are a must-have for all active women, and because of the sizing available, will fit most body sizes. You can purchase yours at www.ottomatcthreads.com
