Are YOU a plus size triathlete?

I'm working on a project with one of my vendors. I need to find some women who will be willing to to wear test some plus size tri apparel and provide fit and function feedback. Your measurements MUST fit into the following size range:

Waist between 36 & 45 inches
Hips between 47 & 54 inches

If this is you, please send an email with "Plus Size Tri Project" in the subject line to susan@teamestrogen.com.

This is a super cool project, and I'm excited that we are getting a vendor to step up to the plate and consider producing apparel for these WOEFULLY underserved women. Drives me nuts that most brands seem to think that being plus means that surely there's no demand for this stuff. Baloney! But for the project to be successful, we need some women to help fit test and wear test. I don't know if the vendor is providing any remuneration for helping out, but the vendor is great to work with and I'd be surprised if the testers didn't at least get some shorts to keep. I'll confer with my contact and find out more in that regard.

Hope to hear from you!

Susan

Susan - can I post this on another tri-related site?

Done - though that site is upgrading today and over the weekend, so traffic could be down.

Thank you all for your interest! We had lots of responses and have found the volunteers we needed. You ladies are the best! I hope to have good news to report on the development of the line soon! I meet with that vendor this week. :-)
