Essentials for Any Hiking Outfit

No matter if you’re a dedicated hiker, or are new to the scene, there are some essential tips to follow when it comes to dressing for your adventure.

• Avoid denim and cotton

Cotton and denim absorb water, meaning you’ll stay soaked if it rains on your hike or if it’s hot out and you sweat. Instead, choose clothing items made from polyester, nylon, or other synthetic fibers that are designed to keep you dry.

• Wear a hat with a brim

Brimmed hats work hard to keep the sun and rain off your face - and especially out of your eyes.

• Pack a jacket

Weather on the trail will be constantly changing. Wind, rain, and other forces of nature will stand in your way during a hike, no matter when you’re heading out. Since weather can change at any time, bring a wind and rain jacket along with you to keep you ready for anything.

• Layer it up

Tying into the previous note, be sure to either wear or bring layers with you on any hike. Don’t overdo it and pack too much, but you also don’t want to get caught being too warm, too cold, or simply unprepared for the weather you’ll face.

• Get durable, yet comfortable hiking boots

Your feet are the most important tools when it comes to hiking. They make contact with the ground to keep you moving, they allow you to travel up and down elevation changes, and will ultimately get you to where you’re intending to go! So treat them right and cover them with hiking boots that will ensure comfort, traction, support, and durability. Since trails feature a lot of different surfaces and conditions, you’ll want boots that offer waterproofing, rugged soles, secure lacing or fasteners, and a flexible, yet supportive upper.

Hiking Clothing Options for the Entire Family

So now that you know some basics about how to build a wardrobe for outdoor activities and hiking, let’s look at some of the specific apparel options available at Kohl’s.

First, set up your base layer with undergarments that set the foundation for your total hiking wardrobe. Women will likely opt for a supportive sports bra, while men can choose from a selection of boxers, briefs, or other undergarments. On top of that, consider base layer underwear for added warmth and support. These layers are available in a variety of weights designed to match the conditions you’re hiking in. They also are available in tops and bottoms, so you can be completely comfortable from head to toe.

For warm, sunny weather, be sure to go with a top that features moisture-wicking properties and some protection from the sun’s rays. Lots of active shirts feature UPF-blocking technology.

For bottoms, consider convertible, zip-off pants that easily go from full-length pants to shorts with a simple pull of a zipper. These versatile bottoms will be a lifesaver as you change from cold conditions to warm ones, and then potentially back to cold conditions again! As with the shirt options, you’ll again want to choose lightweight pants that keep you cool and can also stand up to the variety of terrain you’ll see on the trail.

You’ll also need accessories that bring your total look together, and offer additional function to your look! You’ll want to be ready for anything by having gloves, hats, hiking socks, gaiters, and more to offer additional comfort and protection.

Shop Kohl’s as you prepare for your next hiking adventure in the woods! You can find apparel for men, women, and kids, meaning your entire crew will be set to take on the challenge of the great outdoors!
