[ It ’s raining season! I was looking a waterproof pant for my work because I have to ride a bike from the parking lot. Then I found this one. I gave it a try and surprisingly It ’s working perfectly. True to size. Very comfy and no more wet pants! I will definitely recommend it!

[ These pants are wonderful! Very comfortable and multipurpose…. travel, casual, nice casual and hiking wear. These are well designed and tailored for almost any situation in which you find yourself. Not very technical looking which is great for easy transitioning from task to task

Pants are relatively lightweight, stretch is amazing, and super comfortable. They get wrinkly if you let them sit in the dryer for too long. So be careful on that.

I have Fessari Shorts that I love and this is my first time getting the pants. They are true to size and just as great feeling as the shorts. I like that the leg is a slightly tapered for a slimmer fit.

I 've had these for a few weeks now and I 'm a huge fan. They are a perfect everyday pant that still has a technical feel to them, being lightweight and stretchy. The trimmer fit looks great too. I 'd recommend for anyone that loves their Ferrosi hiking pants, but wants the look of a traditional 5 pocket pant.

These pants lived up to my expectations. I was looking for pants that were light, stretchy, and provided sun protection. Check, check, and check. I wore them in 90 degree heat and did n't think once about being too hot. And even though I purchased them for the outdoors, the khakis look good enough to wear to work. I would buy them again.

Had to purchase a long sleeve shirt while cycling through Austria when temperatures dropped from the high 80s to the low 40s in 24 hours. Turns out this shirt is the most comfortable shirts I have ever had. While it is comfortable I. Warmer weather I found this shirt to be warm and cozy when when worn underneath a light jacket.

[ Love this shirt- material and fit. While I normally wear an XL for Fjallraven( 43 Chest), a L fits me for this one. I am a trail builder and find this shirt too warm above 75 degrees with routine exertion. Cost is high for me, but I think it will serve me well.

Clay229
[ The material of this shirt is great, soft and breathable. It is very comfortable for hike during summer. Sufficient pockets provided. The downside of this shirt is that the use of material for the button made it heavier compare to Abisko Hike LS Shirt but still light weight enough.

TooHotOutside
[ This shirt is amazing... snap buttons, comfortable material, comfortable fit, ample storage, can be worn casually or to the office. Despite ordering a darker color, this thing does a great job keeping the heat off you. I would order a whole closet of these if they were n't so painful on my wallet!

I adore this shirt. Standing in film sets for 12+ hours in the baking sun, this short absolutely changes my day for the better. The ONLY criticism I have are the snaps. They unsnap perhaps a tad too easy. Let ’s just say my Co workers get some serious chest views from time to time.

Ashley V.
After wearing these shorts for a short period of time, they quickly became my husbands number 1 pair of shorts. When asked what he likes most about them he pointed out that they are incredibly stretchy and flexible but have a nice sturdy feel to them. He prefers a trimmer fit to his shorts with longer inseams and these were perfect! They also have cargo short style storage while still looking much cleaner and sleeker. He does wish there was a second pocket on the rear.

Wear these shorts all summer long and never be disappointed. Stretch material is so comfortable you barely notice these are even on. I roll these up and bring them in pack every trip, they 're great for when I get to camp and start to chill, they work as swim shorts and dry quick, they work if it's really a hot day and the trail is n't too rugged. Only thing is the pockets can be uncomfortable if they 're loaded up too much. I rarely use them.

This is my second pair of these shorts because they have become my favorite hiking shorts. They fit snugly in the waist, but loose in the seat and legs. The pockets are the right number and in the right places. They do n't show wear at all.

[ These Gore- Tex pants fit the bill. They are lightweight, have a great fit, pack small, and allow for a base layer beneath if needed. Ice, snow, Zodiak rides, kayaking, these pants can take it all and keep you dry all the while. Would definitely buy again and recommend to others.

It's a flattering fit and quality of construction seems great. It's not the warmest down jacket, but that's not what I bought it for and it is great for what it is. Have n't let it get very wet, but it has handled the water associated with melting snow better than regular down

This jacket looks small to begin with, but Mountain Hardware has engineer a lightweight full- warmth down jacket that molds and adapts to the user's body. With a low profile, it feels very insulating without limiting the wearer's range of motion. Even though it is down, a waterproof hard shell easily fits over the StretchDown jacket assuring warmth and dryness even on the wettest days.

I am 5 ’ 11 ”, 180 lbs with long arms and an athletic build, and Mountain Hardware is one of the only brands with sleeves that are long enough for me to wear a medium. This jacket is a little tight in the chest, but should be fine with the stretchy material. It is warm and seemingly well made. I like the slim fit because it ’s not bulky and doesn ’ t get caught up and snagged on branches etc. the way baggy jackets can and I can wear it underneath a shell.

I really like this jacket. I had read some views and will comment first on some of the things others did not like- giving my perspective. Then will add some things I myself found I like. This jacket is fitted, especially around the chest. I got a medium and I am 5' 7 '' 160lbs, waist is 32. I actually like this because when I wear it under a shell it is not bulky. The waist is also fitted. I would say you need a trim body type for this work well, or you have to be willing to go a larger size than usual. The hood does not have a way to adjust opening while wearing this jacket alone- other than the quick let's get some cover for some rain or wind. But, under a shell is great. The shape makes it stays in place, and the if the shell is adjustable then you are set. I would not suggest wearing this only for a downpour- must use a shell, but it does take on some moisture without a problem. In terns of temperature my experience is that without activity( e. g. standing outside) this can take the 30s well( unless is very very windy). With some activity it will keep you warm enough in the 20s. The zippers work well and find myself using the top pocket to keep my phone handy and dry. I find myself wearing this very often and is `` dressy '' enough to wear casually around town.

Was looking for some lounging shorts- and these are near perfect. I have not been able to find that mesh pocket on the center back... nor did my pair have the Nut logo on the right rear thigh. These are n't deal breakers to me, but descriptive accuracy is lacking.

m_bur
I travel quit a bit and wanted a pair of shorts that I could work out in, trail run, swim in, etc. Also wanted something that would dry quickly. These are great for that. I generally wear a shorter inseam specifically or trail running, but this inseam was a more modest and `` everyday comfortable '' approach. Got the shorts with the AirShell Hoody and together they 're a great combo. Would recommend as a all purpose trail short.

HikeMarker
[ Employee of mountainhardwear] I 've been wearing for a few weeks. These are turning into my workout shorts. Have done done a few base training runs and they 're comfortable and feel great. I 'm not sure I would wear them on a really long run but did 90min run in them and they were great. Will use them for camping/ hiking/ swim combo this summer for sure. I 'm a 33 '' waste and the L fits great.

Super lightweight and comfortable. Have to two front pockets, with they had one in the back so you can wear them as everyday shorts if you needed.

I have n't experienced getting it wet yet, so we 'll see how it works in that environment, but at least for backpacking, this will fit nice into my pack to reduce overall weight while still looking great and keeping me

[ This jacket is perfect for fall nights by itself and even better for layering because it's so light and flexible. When you have other layers underneath and I 'm top, you do n't even feel that's it's there but you DO notice the warm that it provides you, which I must say if finonimal. It was 7. 7 oz with the hood which is insane, and it's highly compressible. I really love this down jacket 10/10 would buy again

[ Employee of mountainhardwear] I have been using multiple Kor products for a while and added this one to my closet recently. It has many uses but what I use it for is early morning hikes and rides. It adds just enough warmth over a base layer to reduce the bite of morning chill. The fabric is crazy stretchy and soft, and while I have n't been rough on this one, my insulated Kor Strata is a ski layer I have hammered all season with no issue. This thing is crazy packable too so it makes it easy to shove into a pocket or my lumbar pack.

Perfect ascent shell to dump heat while breaking wind. I wear this over a 250gram smartwool baselayer while ascending mountains in 25- 45 degree weather.

There's a reason you see so many really favorable reviews of this jacket. It checks all the boxes. Packable, super light, blocks the wind, repels mist or light rain and looks great. Pull it out of your kit at a windy summit or the top of a pitch. If you are slim and athletic, it fits true to your usual size. I have a paunchy `` dad bod '', so I had to go up one size for midriff room. You wo n't have to, though. I also have the lined hoody version of this garment, and like it equally for belaying or just spectating at the base of the crag.
When selecting backpacking clothes, prioritize features such as moisture-wicking fabrics, breathability, and quick-drying capabilities. Look for lightweight materials that provide comfort during long hikes and offer protection against the elements. Additionally, consider clothing with UV protection and durability to withstand rough terrain.
The right materials for backpacking clothes should include synthetic fabrics like polyester or nylon, which are known for their moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties. Merino wool is also a great option for its natural odor resistance and temperature regulation. Avoid cotton, as it retains moisture and can lead to discomfort during extended outdoor activities.
Essential clothing for a backpacking trip typically includes moisture-wicking base layers, insulating mid-layers, and waterproof outer layers. Additionally, durable pants and shirts designed for hiking can enhance mobility and comfort. Don't forget accessories like hats and gloves for added protection against changing weather conditions.
The fit of backpacking clothes is crucial for comfort and mobility during hikes. Clothes that are too tight can restrict movement, while overly loose garments may lead to chafing or snagging on branches. Look for a fit that allows for layering and freedom of movement, ensuring you can tackle various terrains comfortably.
A proper layering system is essential for adapting to changing weather conditions while backpacking. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer to keep sweat away from your skin, add an insulating layer for warmth, and finish with a waterproof and breathable outer layer to protect against rain and wind. This system allows you to add or remove layers as needed for optimal comfort.
Yes, different seasons require specific styles of backpacking clothes to ensure comfort and protection. In warmer months, lightweight and breathable fabrics are ideal, while colder seasons call for insulated and waterproof options. Additionally, transitional seasons may benefit from versatile layers that can be adjusted as temperatures fluctuate throughout the day.
