Alpine Fit offers merino wool base layers which offer both form fitting and functional solutions.

Tops

Clothing can be as integral to an enjoyable outdoor adventure as shelter and equipment are. An ideal outfit consists of a base layer to control moisture, mid layers for warmth, and outer layers as protection from weather elements.

Women’s outdoor shirts come in all forms and shapes, from sun protection hiking tees to quick-dry base layers with HeiQ antimicrobial odor control technology. 5.11’s Eve Performance Top is one such example that provides maximum movement courtesy of its stretch polyester knit material with raglan sleeves and elastic binding cuffs for unhindered movement.

Ditale Outdoors’ Sofia Adventure Pant 1 is a lightweight and warm hunting-specific pant designed with women in mind, offering tactical adjustable waistband and knee pad insert compatibility. Additionally, this hunting-specific pant features hand warmer slots, zip pockets and harness slot functionality – as well as regular and curvy fits to meet unique body shapes. Additionally, their Sofia Adventure Jacket completes this outfit to provide comfort when outdoors.

Bottoms

Outdoor pants must be sturdy, weather-resistant and breathable if they’re to perform optimally in any climate. While wool was once itchy, modern merino fabrics offer comforting moisture wicking properties with quick dry times (without holding onto smelly odors).

Most of our hiking pants feature a nylon blend with some stretch provided by elastane (spandex). This added mobility can make a big difference on the trail or when setting up camp. Our top pick, REI Co-op Trailmade Pants, have thick ripstop fabric to withstand rocks, brush and rain while still offering pear-shaped women the flexibility they require for hiking adventures.

Prana Kanab pants, made of cotton, offer another choice, offering softness and classiness at once. Cotton absorbs moisture more readily than nylon but does not perform well against cold-weather conditions like bushwhacking – we suggest this pair more for casual jaunts along the trail and everyday wear due to its ankle-length straight leg design, low elastic waistband with barely-there feel, as well as matching up perfectly with boots or hipbelts.

Shoes

Your feet deserve a robust pair of outdoor shoes that can handle every element Mother Nature throws their way. Consider durable boots with grippy soles designed to withstand prickly cacti and slippery rocks while remaining comfortable during long hikes. Consider women’s hiking boots featuring features such as speed lacing or ripstop mesh uppers to offer breathability and flexibility during any adventure.

Gone are the days when women’s outdoor technical gear simply recreated proven men’s styles with feminine color accents. Today, manufacturers such as The North Face, Patagonia and HOKA One One (founded by two former Salomon employees) design products with women in mind; this ensures clothing fits comfortably without bunching up or chafing. Look for hiking shoes featuring Traxion or Continental rubber outsoles to stay put on dirt trails and slippery roots; or add an adidas Boost shoe for added speed while scrambling through boulder fields!

Accessories

Assembling an outdoor outfit requires careful thought. Your layers should provide essential functions – moisture management, warmth and weatherproof protection from the elements – with each item fitting securely to avoid chafing and bunching.

Women deserve gear that complements their unique spirit and passion for outdoor adventure, which is why Alpine Fit provides an extensive selection of clothing, shoes and accessories tailored specifically for female needs.

Gone are the days when women’s technical outdoor clothing simply copied proven men’s styles and shrunk them down, adding pink accents. Instead, manufacturers such as The North Face and Patagonia now design products specifically to address female body physiology – such as The North Face’s Animagi Jacket designed specifically for female wearers.
