outdoor clothing for men

Are You Hiking, Trail Running or Camping? For outdoor clothing that keeps up, natural fabrics offer great performance credentials without looking fake. Many brands now focus on these natural fibers which look and feel real but offer true performance benefits.

Think cotton ripstop, breathable hemp and temperature-regulating wool fabrics – for instance, Vancouver-based Arc’teryx offshoot Veilance has successfully blended mountaineering tech with classic garment shapes for sophisticated under-the-radar techwear.

Cotopaxi

Cotopaxi outdoor gear is an ideal option for the eco-conscious outdoorsman. Their company recycles fabric scraps that would otherwise end up in landfills and utilizes repurposed nylon materials in its products, all while remaining socially and sustainably responsible. Cotopaxi also donates one percent of their profits to charity and offers repair service should any equipment get damaged during its lifecycle.

Davis Smith of Utah established Cotopaxi in 2014 after spending years traveling South America. Inspired by Ecuadorian mountains teeming with roaming llamas and seemingly never-ending trails, Cotopaxi’s name means “mountain of the sun”. Now B-corp certified brand Cotopaxi believes outdoor gear can serve as an important vehicle for global change.

Cotopaxi’s Fuego down jacket is perfect for keeping warm on cold weather hikes or camping trips, featuring responsibly-sourced 800-fill down and water resistance to keep you cozy even during wet conditions.

Gramicci

Gramicci was established in the 1980s by Mike Graham, one of Yosemite rock climbing team known as Stone Masters, and since then has led industry with innovation and industry leadership. Gramicci pioneered technical climbing apparel such as its trademark diamond-shaped crotch gusset and integrated nylon webbing belt and is widely considered an industry standard brand.

While Gramicci was originally designed with young explorers in mind, its practical design and youthful attitude to outdoor adventure quickly broadened its appeal beyond climbing enthusiasts alone. Surfers and skateboarders quickly adopted it too; by the early 90s it could even be found worn by street vendors on Tokyo streets!

Since its founding, Gramicci has taken an increasingly refined approach to outdoor apparel design, offering collections featuring modern fabrics and styles. Their trademark crotch gusset and built-in nylon belt remain signature features of their Japanese-designed collection that’s sold globally at retailers such as Wittmore.
