So many times this. While admittedly I have recently lost a considerable amount of weight, I have thought for years I can't do stuff because of my size. If I'd have seen people who looked like me wearing gear that fits and doing outdoorsy stuff, I imagine I'd have felt differently and might have got off my butt sooner to enjoy a more active lifestyle.
Yes, thank you for writing this. As a fat and outdoorsy person, I feel every word of this.
"But choosing the easy path is still a choice."
Very well reasoned argument and something that has riled me for years.
So frustrating isn't it...

It’s such a key part that so many brands are just missing…
Yesssss. I’m going back to sailing later this year which means I’m going to need a wetsuit and sailing gear. This is a whole new world of pain…
Oooooooof. Wetsuits have def improved over the last few years, but the availability of larger sizes is still so far behind...
