Plus-Size Exercise Gear (Ladies)

Ladies - As a plus-size woman, I have special clothing considerations. I am a strong believer in "just because they make it in your size doesn't mean you should wear it." So, sporty gear becomes an issue with my body shape.

I'd like to hear from anyone who has advice on the best shoes, clothing, etc. for a plus-size woman who exercises regularly.

Make sure to include identifying information as well as why you think the item is superior.

I'll start.

Exercise/Bike Shorts: Danskin Supplex short: http://www.danskin.com/11bikeshort1.html - These shorts fit snugly but don't cut off circulation and the waist band doesn't roll down.

Shoes: I swear by New Balance shoes. One of my biggest issues with workout shoes is their tendency to break down after a short time due to the added weight. NB shoes are sturdy and they have styles for all sorts of exercise options. AND, they carry wide sizes!

Junonia - http://www.junonia.com - the highest quality plus-size workout wear available.

Go Figure - they're based in Canada, but I think you might be able to find them in some US retailers - http://gofigurego.com/
