Every Body Outdoors

Fighting for clothing, gear and representation for larger and plus sized bodies in the outdoors movement in the UK.

There are lots of larger/plus size bodied people who are keen hikers, cyclists, climbers, paddle boarders, swimmers, and more, but it can be a huge struggle. This is partly because we're unable to get appropriate clothing to keep us safe on the hills/lakes as most outdoors clothing stops at a size 16. There are a few brands who stock sizes 18 and 20 but almost nothing in a size 22 or above. It’s difficult to get into and stay involved in outdoor activities if you cannot get the clothing you need to stay warm, dry, and safe in your chosen activity.

In addition, we never see larger/plus size bodied people represented in magazines, brand social media accounts, clothing websites etc. It’s hard to feel like you belong somewhere when you never see someone who looks like you in these spaces. In short, representation matters.

We are running Every Body Outdoors local groups in a number of regions around the UK. These regional groups will offer a programme of outdoor activities in a safe, supportive and inclusive space for plus size people, allowing them to gain confidence in the outdoors and build community with other plus size people.

We also run courses for plus size people to gain more skills and confidence in the outdoors - these include entry level intro to hill skills courses but also more advanced navigation and mountain skills courses.
