Sep 11, 2009
The road traveled by woman and the companies making products for them in the last 25 years has been long and rock-strewn, including a lengthy period of downsized men's items in various shades of pink, but today the women's market is strong and many well-researched products are designed specifically to fit a woman's anatomy and engineered to deliver performance.

Article Thumbnail Think About It: OIWC asks, where are all the women?
Jul 20, 2009
Earlier this year, SNEWS released its inaugural Power Players list and SGB came out with its 2009 40 under 40. On the bright side, the lists highlight some of the vast talent that exists in our industry. However, there was something disappointing about both lists -- the lack of female representation: only five women out of 25 SNEWS Power Players and only three women on the SGB 40 under 40 list. This got us thinking: Why are there so few women recognized in the outdoor industry? To recognize the women behind women's products, OIWC will launch Intuition & Ingenuity: A Women's Product Showcase at Outdoor Retailer Summer Market, available at the SNEWS booth (#22050).
