The North Face Women's Equator Ripstop Shorts
Sale Price: $39.97
Reg. Price: $54.95 - BUY

Rugged nylon fabric for tropical tours and trips. Hidden passport pocket inside fitted waistband.

Appropriately named, The North Face Women's Equator Ripstop Short is the sort of garment you would want to have while touring the tropics and other warm spaces. The fitted waistband design fits most women better than the other stuff that comes in just small, medium and large, giving you a look that's more tailored than compromised. Along the waistband you'll find a small zippered compartment that's just the right size for your passport and some currency. You can stow the rest of your small outdoor essentials in the front slash pocket, side cargo pocket or rear welt pockets. The Equator ripstop nylon fabric is exceptionally abrasion resistant and holds up well to hard wear. The North Face made their Equator Ripstop Short in two lengths, which can be an important consideration depending on the culture and customs in the places that you intend to travel. If shorts are not an option, consider The North Face Women's Equator Ripstop Capri.

Advice from the Crown of Africa experience:
"Conditioning -- The benchmark for checking your physical well-being for this climb is simple: Can you run 5 miles in 45 minutes? If you can do that, you are considered fit enough. If you can't run 5 miles, you better go see David Breashears' IMAX Everest and stay an armchair mountaineer. I didn't run great distances - never more than 20 miles a week. I did workouts on hills to strengthen my up-and-down muscles. I also hiked and, since it was winter in the Northeast, I snowshoed. I did not lift weights since we were 'Gentlemen Climbers' spoiled by a group of porters who were the best atheletes I have ever seen. I do ab crunches so that (I'm embarrassed to say this) my 25-pound day-pack didn't give me any back problems. If you'd like expert advise on how to condition for Mt. Kilimanjaro, check out the exercises shown here and the exercise plan developed by Dr. David Musnick, Sports and Internal Medicine physician and author of Conditioning for Outdoor Fitness. "
