The North Face has some of the best technical outerwear out there for women.

Plus with all the demands on us -- children, work, home -- women just feel that they can't afford to be injured. Who'd pick up the slack if we were out of commission, even for a little while?

I think there's a real connection. I blew out my ACL skiing a few years ago and went through the incredibly painful reconstruction and rehabilitation (worse than childbirth!) In my post-injury period, I was surprised by the number of fit, active and althletic women who told me that the fear of blowing a knew led them to give up skiing as they aged. (I'm sure seeing me on crutches for weeks didn't help!) I think a lot of women are aware of the increased risk to their knees, so tend to tone it down or limit their involvement as they age, and the prospect of injury looms larger....
