Key Outdoor Items
When you’re going hiking or camping, you need apparel that’s designed specifically for those activities, so put the sundresses back in the closet.
It’s best to think in terms of layers when it comes to hiking outfits for women. Start with a sports bra or an exercise tank with built-in bust support as a base. Then cover it with a women's outdoor shirt in a moisture-wicking fabric. Ideally, one that offers extra SPF protection, too.
Flexible, breathable bottoms like leggings or shorts are perfect for day hikes. Bring along a pair of women’s sweatpants for the night, since temperatures can drop quickly, especially if you’re camping at higher elevations. You can even layer sweatpants on top of leggings if needed.
Hikers’ Helpers
No outdoor packing list is complete without belt bags, lightweight hats and women’s raincoats.
Look for rain gear that’s suited to the season, temperature and location. Some treks require insulated outerwear, gloves and hats that can withstand snow flurries. Other outings might only need a fold-and-pack poncho or a water-repellent cap to keep you dry and comfortable.
Overnight trips involve backpacks, but fanny packs should suffice for most short hikes.
For longer hikes and overnights, make sure that the bag you bring along has a designated spot for your water bottle. You’ll need both hands free to steady yourself on steep inclines and rock scrambles.
Lastly, don’t forget to pack extra sunscreen and bug spray. Reapply both often so you don’t get bitten up or burned!
