That's Fit In The Field: Eastern Mountain Sports for Women
That's Fit In The Field, Fitness, Reviews & Products
That's Fit In The Field -- where gearheads will test health and fitness products under real conditions. We'll grub up the stuff, run the trails, jump on a rock wall, backpack, canoe and hit the gym -- putting gear to the F.I.T. Challenge to rate Fit, Innovation and Toughess.
Yesterday we reported on Eastern Mountain Sports (EMS) Techwick shirts and Tracker Shorts for Men. They ranked high for Fit, Innovation and Toughess. Today we report F.I.T. Challenge results on EMS Women's Techwick shirts and Aero Shorts.
-
Techwick Venus Top: This piece was my favorite item. The top accommodated my wide shoulders, while cut, colors and piping accents are sporty feminine. Wicks great, washes well, dries fast. I would definitely take the Venus rock climbing, but not off-trail hiking as the Techwick weave snags easily.
-
Techwick 1/4 Zip Long-Sleeve: Kept me warm and dry after hard trail running on a crisp, cool morning. Smooth zip lets out steam. Nice color selection. With a flowing feel, fabric still stays close to your body without a too-tight fit. I am not an Under Armour-kind-of-girl.

Aero Shorts: Absolutely love these shorts! Spandex four-way stretch fabric provides comfortable, complete coverage. Side panel splash of color. Dried as fast as the Techwick after getting nailed by river whitewater. These aggressive trail running shorts feature a rear zip stash pocket for keys, cash and snack.
EMS Women's Techwick shirts pass with flying colors for Fit and Innovation. They're Tough enough for most any fitness adventure, except off-trail use in heavy brush (snag factor). Innovations to note: Reflective logo is a nice safety feature for outdoor walking or running. Feminine design offers a comfortable fit for the average gal. EMS Women's Aero Shorts are three-for-three on the F.I.T. Challenge. Especially admire the light and airy inner wicking brief and perfectly placed rear zip stash.
