1. An outer cover for a disposable absorbent article, the outer cover comprising: a. a longitudinal direction, a lateral direction, a first longitudinal side edge and a second longitudinal side edge opposed thereto, a garment facing side and an opposing wearer facing side, a first waist region and a second waist region opposed thereto, wherein a portion of at least one of the first and second waist regions is activated in the lateral direction, a crotch region disposed between the first and second opposing waist regions, and a leg band portion disposed adjacent to at least one of the first and second longitudinal side edges in at least the crotch region, the leg band portion being activated in a direction other than the lateral direction;b. an extensible base layer, the base layer being coextensive with the outer cover in at least the longitudinal direction;c. an extensible reinforcing member, comprised of only nonwoven material, not activated, and joined to the base layer as an additional layer, the reinforcing member being disposed at least in the leg band portion of the crotch region of the outer cover;d. a leg band joined to at least one of the base layer and the reinforcing member in the leg band portion of the outer cover; ande. at least one elastic layer joined to the base layer in at least the first and second waist regions, the elastic layer(s) being absent in at least a portion of the crotch region. 2. The outer cover of claim 1, wherein the leg band is elastic. 3. The outer cover of claim 1, wherein the leg band portion includes a first sub-region and a second sub-region, the first sub-region being disposed adjacent to at least one of the first and second longitudinal side edges, and the second sub-region being disposed adjacent to and laterally inboard of the first sub-region in the crotch region of the outer cover. 4. The outer cover of claim 3, wherein the first and second sub-regions have different levels of activation. 5. The outer cover of claim 4, wherein the first sub-region has a higher level of activation than the second sub-region. 6. The outer cover of claim 1, wherein the base layer has a weight percentage of polyethylene based on the weight of the base layer and the reinforcing member has a weight percentage of polyethylene based on the weight of the reinforcing member and wherein the weight percentage of polyethylene of the reinforcing member is higher than the weight percentage of polyethylene of the base layer. 7. The outer cover of claim 6, wherein the base layer and the reinforcing member each comprise polypropylene and polyethylene and wherein the base layer and the reinforcing member have different polypropylene to polyethylene ratios. 8. The outer cover of claim 1, wherein at least one of the base layer and the reinforcing member is a nonwoven comprising core/sheath type bicomponent fibers. 9. The outer cover of claim 8, wherein the base layer comprises a nonwoven formed from core/sheath-type bicomponent fibers having a polypropylene core surrounded by a polyethylene sheath, the weight percent of polypropylene present in the nonwoven being 70% and the weight percent of polypropylene present in the nonwoven being 70%, based on the weight of the material. 10. The outer cover of claim 1, wherein the surface area of the reinforcing member is between about 20 and 60% of the surface area of the wearer-facing side of the base layer. 11. The outer cover of claim 1, the activated waist portion has a load at 50% strain of less than 2N/cm according to the Hysteresis Test. 12. The outer cover of claim 1, wherein the activated waist portion has a set of less than 15% according to the Hysteresis Test. 13. The outer cover of claim 1, wherein the total basis weight of the polyethylene in the base layer and reinforcing layer is at least 15 gsm. 14. The outer cover of claim 1, wherein the elastic layer is selected from the group of materials consisting of elastically stretchable films, laminates of elastically stretchable films and nonwovens, and elastic nonwovens. 15. The outer cover of claim 14, wherein the elastic layer comprises a laminate of an elastic film member joined to an extensible nonwoven member.
