This UPF 50 long-sleeve shirt is a superb cooling piece. It looks like a flan颅nel, but at 4.5 ounces the 颅poly-spandex Dolly breathes like a dream.

The low-cut Bravada has street style and hiker chops, with cushy heel foam, a comfy EVA midsole, and grippy rubber tread. The waterproof membrane proved itself on a muddy 15-mile hike.


Salomon Out Day Pack ($140)

The Out Day marries the unrestrictive straps of a running vest with the 24-liter capacity of a daypack. There鈥檚 a bladder sleeve and 500-milliliter 颅front-strap soft flask for staying hydrated.

Made from a durable, stretchy recycled synthetic blend, these wind- and 颅water-resistant pants won鈥檛 sag after days of wear. Two front zip pockets keep valuables close.

This airy twist-back tank is made from a blend of merino and polyester; it鈥檚 so comfortable, one tester wore it for a week straight鈥攊n the sun, under layers, and to bed鈥攂efore relinquishing it to the washing machine.


Stio Alpiner Jacket ($289)

The 10.6-ounce hooded Alpiner is our back颅country 颅secur颅ity blan颅ket. Recycled-颅polyester Polartec Alpha insulation kept testers warm on a drizzly day. The DWR-coated nylon shell breathes so well, we stayed dry through unseasonal snowfall.


Cotopaxi Mariposa Crop Top ($50)

With two layers of 79 per颅cent recycled polyester, this reversible crop is supportive enough for some women to wear as a bra, yet stylish enough to rock on its own. Bonus: the high neck provides a little extra sun protection.


Roka Cambridge Sunglasses ($190)

Not a fan of 颅Skittle-colored shades? These classic frames have 颅glare-cutting carbon polarized lenses and a 颅fingerprint-resistant coating. No-slip pads hold them in place.


Nocs Provisions Standard Issue 8×25 Binoculars ($115)

Anti颅reflective coating lets in more light and keeps colors accurate. A high-end prism enhances sharpness, and the textured grip and waterproof housing are adventure-ready.
