It Doesn't Have to be the Weekend to Wear These!

   

I received a sample pair of Columbia Women's Saturday Trail II Knee Pants last week, and couldn't wait to test them out. Ironically, I tried them out last Saturday when we went for a little hike. 

These knee pants are straight leg with articulated knees, and have a mid-rise waist. They are lightweight and the slight stretch they have makes them quite comfortable. They feature Omni-Shade™ UPF 50 rated sun protection, as well as, OmniShield™ moisture and stain repellent technology. They have typical pants pockets, as well as a small zippered security pocket on the leg that is perfect for my one addiction - Chapstick lip balm! The leg hems can cinch to make the cuff loose or snug to customize your preference. It should be noted that although the legs do have some stretch to them, the waistband itself does not. This works perfectly fine for me as I'm smaller in the waist but larger through the thigh. If you are person who has a thicker waist then you might have to go up a size to accommodate the waist portion of the pant.  

The Columbia Women's Saturday Trail II Knee Pants are available in 4-6 colours, and in a range of sizes from 2-16 in Regular, and Plus size from 16W-24W.  Columbia, in fact, has quite a few Plus sized clothing items available online. 

The Columbia Women's Saturday Trail II Knee Pants retail in Canada for $69.99 for Regular sizing and $74.99 in Plus. In the U.S., Regular sizing retails for $50, and $55 in Plus.

It can be a challenge to get some kids reading. One of the keys is to find something that they find interesting and engages them. Something that makes them want to read, as opposed to needing to read. DK Books Canada has a wide array of DK Readers to appeal to your little learners.

This is a great feature to not only challenge the reader, but also to help confirm comprehension of what they've read.
