Fall is arguably the best season to go hiking.
Especially in our hometown of the Pacific Northwest. Less humidity, tons of foliage and cool temperatures make the conditions perfect to take a stroll or conquer a challenging climb.
If you’ve hiked before, you know that your wardrobe must be all about the layers. Particularly layers that are easy to pack, like moisture wicking shirts that are breathable, waterproof jackets, and lightweight insulated outerwear.
Guess what? We have them all. To help you get your hiking look together, we’ve compiled our top outdoor gear pieces below. Read on for women’s hiking jackets, men’s outerwear, and women’s outerwear alike!
