Topo Designs Dirt Jacket

Do you ever feel like you’ve ended up with two different wardrobes: one for adventuring and the other for everyday life? We do. But the Dirt Jacket is one of those stereotype-defying pieces that refuses to…

Smartwool Ultralite Mountain Bike 3/4 Sleeve Tee

As the name attests, the Ultralite Mountain Bike 3/4 Sleeve Tee shirt was sewn with cyclists in mind, but it’s a great top for any number of other outdoor pursuits too. The lightweight blend of premium…

Outdoor Research Swift Air Cap

What a cool cap…both literally and figuratively! The Swift Air Cap borrows the crushable design and silhouette of a classic OR running cap but ratchets up the breathability with wide-open mesh side panels. It also has…

Marmot 94 E.C.O. Recycled Fleece

Who doesn’t love a good throwback? Especially when the nostalgia includes the cozy comfort of fleece. The 94 E.C.O. Recycled Fleece and its fun colors look like you reached into the very back of your late…

Fjallraven Men’s Vidda Pro Lite Trousers

A couple of our Gear Specialists spend much of the year in Vidda Pro Trousers and their only complaint is that they’re a bit too heavy for warmer weather. Guess they’ll need to invest in a…

Fjallraven Women’s Abisko Trail Stretch Trousers

The iconic Abisko Trekking Tights have been a standout choice for trekking and backpacking for many years, but some people prefer the look and feel of pants to that of close-fitting tights. Cue the Abisko Trail…

Fjallraven High Coast Hydratic Trail Jacket
