By Abigail Scott
I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

I am 5'9 and 145lbs. i have a very small chest (34a). should i get the xs/sm or the med/lg?
I am 5'5" and 145 pounds and comfortably wear the xs/sm. All our female guests of varying sizes can wear this jacket - it has a large capacity for adjustment with the side straps. That said, I have also worn the med/large size when that is all that was available. The size difference between the two is not significant given the large amount of adjusting available with the straps.
