Frequently asked questions
The budget applies to each garment, not the combined outfit. These selections are based on current item prices below $100, including some reduced prices. Check the price for your selected size and color before ordering, since prices can change.
Start with freedom of movement, moisture management, and fit. Stretch fabric and gusseted construction help when stepping over roots or climbing uneven ground. Moisture-wicking shirts help move sweat away from your skin. Choose useful pockets without carrying so much in them that they interfere with your stride.
Pants provide more coverage when the route includes brush or a cool start. Shorts make sense for warm conditions on open trails. GTFO Travel Pants use lightweight stretch nylon, while GTFO Cargo Shorts add utility pockets with weather flaps and auto-lock zippers. Compare more comfortable pants for hiking or shorts for outdoor activities based on your route.
Start with a moisture-wicking shirt and add removable layers according to the forecast. The NANO WOOL™ Long Sleeve Crew uses double-knit construction designed to retain heat while managing moisture. Avoid starting so heavily dressed that you overheat on the first climb. Explore next-to-skin base layers for hiking for more options.
The BODYLOC® RAPTOR Pullover Stow Jacket - SM is currently listed at $99 in size small. Its windproof fabric has a water-resistant DWR treatment, and the jacket stows in its own chest pocket. Water resistance is not the same as waterproof protection; plan separately for sustained rain. Compare more packable windbreakers for day hikes, checking each item's price and sizing.
