Fifty Sense Seal of Approval

The Stonewear Designs clothing line is inspired by clothing for real women. While originally inspired by the need for a women's specific climbing clothing, the line has developed into functional, versatile, quality clothing line that no fits a woman's need whether it be hitting the trail or chasing after little ones!

They are part of an exciting community and we enjoy giving back, helping and inspiring others. They support The HERA Women's Cancer Foundation founded by Sean Patrick, an ovarian cancer survivor and climber. Please help us support them!

Red Bunny fleece jacket

This cozy fleece cardigan-style jacket has quickly become a favorite indoor and outdoor jacket. Softer than a bunny's ear, but dressy, this is the one our tester grabbed to go out on the town. The full front zipper is perfect when you never know whether you are going to be hot or cold. Not only does it have two front handwarmer pockets, but two inside privacy pockets that are great for those little items you want to have with you when you don’t have a bag. Since it is 100% polyester fleece, it can be machine washed.

Nimble Jacket

This comfortable and stylish french terry jacket is perfect for your outdoor hikes or travel to new places. We paired it with the Nimble pant for a great travel ensemble. We love the full front zip, 1" decorative band on shoulder, and side seam pockets. It is great to find clothing that is comfortable and stylish.

Nimble Pant

This stretch french terry pull-on pant is super soft and comfortable. It is perfect for cool weather or just hanging around the house. We love the comfortable wide waistband, off center drawcord, and decorative side leg panels with zig zag stitching. The 32" inseam was generous without being too long. Paired with the Nimble Jacket, we have a great travel ensemble.

Rockin' Pant

An incredible travel pant, the Rockin Pant by Stonewear Designs combines style with comfort in a flattering style no matter what your body type.

They feature a scoop waist that makes an elegant fashion statement on this pant. These are pants you can wear on a plane for ten hours directly to touring an urban area, hiking a rural path, or relaxing at home.

Because they are made with a quick drying fabric they are great for travel and easy care.

I took them to New Orleans and found that they were the only pant I needed- I wore them around town all day and kept them on for dinner and dancing!

Nimble Caftan Hoody

The Nimble Caftan Hoody is a perfect example of what Stonewear Designs does best. Made of extra-soft French stretch terry it has a flattering length that falls below the hip creating an elegant, silhouette on any body type.

It is a great piece either for your cool-weather wardrobe or as a layering piece, possibly over a swimsuit for those breezy days, or a transition piece on all-day excursions. Flattering and stylish enough for touring to dinner, this is a must have!

Momentum Tank

The Stonewear Designs collection was initially developed from a need for a women's specific climbing line. The Momentum Tank is a uniquely feminine, soft V-neck tank top with wide straps that twist gently in the back.

This tank definitely passed the test on the rocks. I found it to be one of the most comfortable pieces that I have climbed in, thus wearing it almost everday! The Coolmax/Lycra® wrap-around bra gives extra support, and keeps you cool even in the blazing heat of the summer.

The double stitched hem keeps everything nice and secure and where it is supposed to be. So far I have seen no wear on this piece!

I also decided to put this tank to the versatility test and took it backpacking with me on the Appalachian Trail. I started off the first day wearing it and was so surprised at how comfortable it wore that I found myself reaching for it every morning. And talk about putting it to the test- hot, humid heat and after four days it was still able to put it on!

This piece is one that truly is a do everything, go everywhere. With the lower hem line and flattering shape I even wear it with a cute little skirt on the town- perfect for travel!

>Rockin

Another fantastic piece is the Rockin Capri. Put to the test in City of Rocks Idaho I was super impressed by the combination of function and versatility. We had to hike quite a way to our first climb through the desert and sagebrush and it was nice to be wearing something that moved right with you, close to the body.

Then we set up for the climb and that is where this piece truly shined. The nylon/lycra blend creates a super soft material with enough stretch that you never feel a pull. Long enough to cover the knee, but with side leg slits you feel protected but not inhibited.

A gentle scoop waist makes an elegant fashion statement on this capri. Finely detailed with double topstitching, inconspicuous side zip pocket and comfy, quick-drying fabric for easy-care.
