Men's Clothing

What is outdoor clothing?

Outdoor clothing refers to garments that have been specifically designed to handle outdoor adventure. Through materials, technologies or style designs, they offer greater levels of weather protection, warmth and coverage, freedom of movement, durability, perspiration management, functionality, and other benefits. For lasting performance, they are purpose-made to suit a specific activity or adventure type like hiking, trekking, camping, skiing, travelling, trail running, climbing or just everyday outdoors.

What outdoor clothing do you need?

When it comes to outdoor apparel, the best brands offer gear that is purpose-made for a particular end use with materials, technologies and design features that provide lasting wear, enhanced comfort and dependable protection. For example, if you're trekking alpine backcountry, you'd want some outdoor winter gear (mountaineering and alpine gear) to handle those rugged conditions. But no matter what the level of expertise - from professional to novice - there is some basic outdoor apparel that should be in every wardrobe. This includes a fully waterproof rain jacket for outdoor activity in wet weather, a quality down jacket for insulation in the cold, and a reliable men's outdoor fleece jacket for layering. A good sun hat, some comfortable socks and hiking footwear, and some versatile pants should also be on your list.

What is outdoor clothing made of?

To meet the demands of outdoor environments, changing weather conditions and active pursuits, outdoor apparel is made with technical fabrics that have enhanced performance qualities. As an example, these may have improved durability (like the ripstop nylon shell on a down jacket or the CORDURA® fabric for hiking pants), enhanced protection (GORE-TEX® waterproof technology on rain jackets) or greater warmth (Polartec® fleece).
