The (5) SEIRUS HYPERLITE ALL-WEATHER GLOVES ($25) augment any gear fanatic’s arsenal with a paper-thin Polartec shell that’s weatherproof. TOPS & BOTTOMS 禄 (6) EX OFFICIO’s BUZZ OFF LITE LONG SLEEVE SHIRT ($80) wards off skeeters, no-see-ums, and their kin with an odorless, repellent-treated fabric. MOUNTAIN HARDWEAR makes backcountry prowess stylish with the (7) AGILITY 3/4 SLEEVE SHIRT ($30), a form-fitting UPF 40 poly tee.

(11) HELLY HANSEN’s AXON CONVERTIBLE JACKET ($70) morphs from a windproof shell into a lightweight vest. (12) DEUTER’s HOKUS POKUS ($45) has its own stunt: It converts from a 250-cubic-inch hip pack to a 1,450-cubic-inch daypack.

(18) BUCK’s SUMMIT KNIFE ($70) packs a partially serrated blade, plus a corkscrew.
