Autumn in the mountains brings sharp swings in temperature between morning and evening, which is exactly why you need to dress well and dress right. The editor, who refuses to hit the trail in just anything, picked autumn hiking gear that compromises on neither function nor fit. From a base layer with thumbholes to outerwear that shields you from the summit wind, shoes built for rugged rocky trails. Gloves that only seasoned hikers know they need made the list too.
On's Studio Long-T fulfills the editor's firm belief that sportswear without thumbholes is incomplete. Made from polyester blended with elastane, it hugs the body without holding you back. The stretchy fabric clings while keeping movement easy. The high neckline blocks the autumn wind, and the thumbholes prevent the sleeves from riding up. Even as hiking gear, the line stays clean when layered over high-waisted pants or a running vest.
San San Gear's Bomber Jacket uses 3M Thinsulate as its insulation. It keeps you warm while staying thin and light, making it an easy throw-on when the autumn wind starts to chill your cooling sweat. The raglan sleeves and generous fit allow full range of motion whether you're raising or lowering your arms on the trail. Bonus: a fit that looks sharp on the trail, after the hike, and well into everyday life.
Discovery Expedition's Wellness Lightweight Cropped Puffer is the kind of essential everyone needs one of. Light enough to stash in your backpack and pull out once the temperature drops, this puffer delivers. The cropped length keeps the line clean, even layered over high-waisted pants or a running vest. A versatile outer layer you can reach for anytime, anywhere. What gear is packed inside your backpack?
