Hi, I'm trying to find a functional and somewhat sexy top for my wife. I'm wondering if anyone knows where I could buy tops like the following:

Try http://www.prana.com for similar styles. Order there or try them on first at REI.

Anyone know where I can buy some abs like the ones in your second link?!

I am like totally a dude, not a cross dressing dude either, a full on hairy chested stalwart at that. That being said have you tried the Blurr or flashed web sites? You may want to look into companies that specialize in yoga clothes as well. I only know this stuff 'cause I like looking at chicks and chicks only. Good luck.

Man, I've seen people throw wild accusations of "homophobe" around here before, but I think that Jred has been the first legitimately deserving case I've seen so far.

You didn't think this one counted as sexy? http://www.prana.com/...W1SUMM_CHOCOLATE.jpg
I really can't think of a way to make that little piece of spaghetti any more provocative.

No disrepect meant to the chickie in the second link you gave, but that top actually looks equally suited for a night club. Of course, I really don't know much about women's fashion, but I could probably picture something like that at a dance club. It doesn't seem like it is fitting her tightly like most of the stretchy fabrics used in girl's climbing tops would. maybe you could just find some slinky top like that wherever the bar flies buy their goods? But then again... what do I know...

Have you tried Stonewear? I know they make women's climbing/yoga apparel. http://www.stoneweardesigns.com/swd.asp?wci=index

You know someone once refered to climbers as a dull, humourless bunch of politically over-correct nerds and I disagreed. I am now starting to see their point.

I think that Prana, Stoneware and Patagonia probably are the three biggeset manufacturers that make cute/sexy shirts for climbing girls. There was a great one by Patagonia that I was thinking of (looks sim to the Prana one climbsomething posted), but couldn't find it on their website.

As a note of caution though...if your wife is anything bigger than a B cup I'd be extreamly wary of getting one of those low cut, not much there ultra sexy sports bras that have popped up in this thread so far. She might not feel comfortable waering it if she's spilling out of it.

I've seen many women at the crags (including myself) of different breast sizes and body types and it looks good on all of us. Not quite as revealing as something you could get, but you still have that open back and you can get a little bit of cleavage.

Ps - I think its pretty cool to be buying sexy clothes for your wife. Especially sexy climbing clothes.
