Wuru Merino Lightweight Hoodie
Wuru's Lightweight Hoodie brings their Nuyarn performance wool, a merino nylon blend, into a hooded base layer. Worn alone it has a UPF rating of 40, but is super comfortable paired with other layers in the cold. The hood provides bonus protection from bugs or snow. True four-season gear. . The Wuru Lightweight Hoodie is made with an eye for warmer weather use as a trail shirt, but when the chance came up to test it this winter I was eager to see how it did as a base layer. As you can see from… Full review

Stone Glacier Helio Hoody
An all-around, all-purpose midlayer that has been designed with the small details in mind, like a long torso length that stays tucked in no matter the activity, a chest pocket that sits below a pack’s sternum strap, and a sleeve length that is long enough to actually enjoy the integrated thumb holes. Useful in a wide range of activities and in a wide range of temperatures, from the single digits to 50°F. Testing Conditions I’ve tested the Helio Hoody for nearly four months during the fall and… Full review

Arctic Lynx Maternity Activewear Midweight T-shirt
This shirt is super flattering, comfortable, functional, and perfect for all types of physical activity throughout pregnancy.

This product is best for physical activity in moderate temperatures, such as jogging, hiking, yardwork, Pilates, barre, etc. I would recommend it for all pregnant mothers that want to stay… Full review

Kora Yardang Jersey
Kora’s Yardang jersey is a warm wool base layer made from a blend of 70% merino and 30% yak wool. The knit is very smooth and comfortable, and the shirt has a fairly long half-zip. Sizing is more forgiving than most base layers. It’s a great layer worn by itself for hiking in cool weather, or as a base or mid-layer in the cold. INTRO/BACKGROUND Yardang men's XXL.

Patagonia R1 Air Crew
A winning fleece layer from Patagonia. It’s light, soft, warm, and wicks moisture well. Despite the fluffy appearance, appears to be very durable. Great outer layer on cooler days, mid-layer for colder situations. INTRODUCTION Patagonia R1 fleece has been around for a long time. I first wore one twenty years ago. Light to mid-weight, extremely versatile for layering, it’s absolutely no surprise that it has remained, in evolved form, in Patagonia’s lineup. R1 Air Crew The R1 Air merges the… Full review

Pendleton Trail Shirt
One of my best purchases ever, technical or not! This wool shirt has been on many explorations, hikes, and mountain bike rides. It's warmer than it looks, but never clammy thanks to the natural fibers. The overall fit of Pendleton seems athletic, meaning room to move. Definitely not fitted. But not baggy either, as some of their vintage shirts are. The material and design are the real standouts here. The wool material is not too thin, not too thick. I don't find it itchy. And I especially like that… Full review

Outdoor Research Baritone Quarter Zip
This shirt is a super soft, warm, stretchy quarter-zip layer that's perfect for wear around the house or in camp on a cool fall day. I wear mine when I'm working remotely or to and from adventures, but for big days in the mountains or on the trail, I reach for something else. This is a good representation of the color...The other photos are a little washed out The Baritone quarter-zip is a heavy-weight baselayer or a lightweight mid-layer designed to be stretchy and soft for ease of movement and… Full review

Purple Rain Adventure Dress
A Purple Rain Adventure Dress is a nearly perfect hiking garment, especially for hot, muggy, and shaded conditions such as those found on the Appalachian Trail. I wore mine continuously for my AT thru-hike. I prized it for its supreme ventilation, simplicity, functionality, durability, comfort, and quick-drying materials. The side-pockets were perfect for carrying my phone, snacks, toiletries, and a myriad of other things. I never thought I'd find a more comfortable piece of clothing than a Purple… Full review

Appalachian Gear Company All-Paca Fleece Hoodie
Alpaca is an incredible insulator, non-stinky, and still warm when wet. I love merino as a base layer, and have found the All-Paca Fleece to be a breathable, yet super warm next layer, functional even when wet. Lightweight and luxury feeling, is like wearing a hug, especially at the end of the day or during a break! Truth is I love alpaca. The animal, the fleece, visiting alpaca farms. I also love merino and have long "heard" as a spinner of these fine fleeces, that alpaca is not as durable, and… Full review
