Title Nine wants you to take a hike! But we also want you to be prepared before you
tackle that next trek. We've made planning easy. Read on for some of our top hiking clothes tips and best
hiking clothes recommendations to let you conquer a day hike, weekend mini-expedition, or even a week-long

Why settle for shrunken-down men's gear made pink and floral? Outdoor women

Move with you: combat hiking hazards like chafing and rubbing by choosing hiking apparel
for women with spandex and elastane fabrics that stretch to shadow our moves without losing shape.
Waists constructed with internal drawstrings or elastic ensure no gaping and a custom fit.
Dry in a snap: look for fast-drying, moisture-wicking fabrics that keep us cool when the
mercury rises, and dry fast come impromptu dips in the river.
Carry our stuff: shorts, pants, skorts and jackets with functional pockets give us easy
access and freedom from sweaty backpacks and waist packs.

built into the fabric and clothing.
Go from trek to town: our versatile hiking clothes for women leave old school,
"outdorky" styles behind.
Protect from the elements: durable water resistant (DWR), wind-resistant and waterproof
fabrics keep us covered.
Tough it out: scooting down rocks and scrambling on dirt calls for abrasion-resistant
fabrics and durable seam construction.
Adjust to the thermometer: temperature friendly and breathable layers are a must
year-round, so consider how cool it may be at the summit or how hot it may be in the valley.
Performance fabrics are key for enjoying the trail all year long
in a range of conditions and intensity. Look for these performance fabrics in our shorts, pants, and tops:
