This International Women’s Day, we looked to our athletes to tell us about the women they admire. Meet some of the Smartwool team and get the gear that keeps them going far and feeling good.

“A woman that inspires me is my great grandmother Nanabeth, who opened up her own small business in the 1950’s during a time when brave women were pioneering the way for others to follow their dreams.”

Darcy Piceu 

“The women I’m inspired by are my group of girlfriends here in Boulder Colorado who are always up for mountain adventures. We all have busy lives with teenagers, work, etc., but we make time for the trails and really connect with one another when we're out there, and I find that to be incredibly inspiring.  Thankfully I am reminded of it regularly.  Happy International Women’s Day everyone!”

Angel Collinson 

“A woman that’s been really inspiring to me is Brene Brown, and, one piece of her work is around vulnerability and being able to show up exactly where you’re at authentically and honestly, and that has helped me be a better teammate and it’s also helped me with balancing confidence in the mountains and knowing when to back down and being cool with that.”
