Columbia Essentials for Your Outdoor Adventures

Whether you’re hiking, camping, walking, or some combination of the three, few brands have you covered like Columbia. With offerings that fit a variety of outdoor activities and a range of climates, Columbia’s goods will keep you outfitted in nature’s fresh air all year long. Not sure where to start? We’re breaking down four of the brand’s essential pieces to help you get your activewear wardrobe up to par.

From vests to down coats, read on for our guide to building the wardrobe for your outdoor activities the Columbia way.

Vests

An insulated vest is a must-have for any outdoor enthusiast. It provides the warmth you’ll need during cool days and nights without restricting your range of motion the way a coat would. For a warm-weather camping trip, pack it in your bag and pull it out during chilly evenings. On a cool-weather trip, layer it over a long-sleeve tee or zip-up hoodie.

Casual Pants

Casual walking pants are the best choice for a temperate day on the trails, since they’ll protect you from insect bites without causing you to overheat. Whether you opt for a solid version in black or khaki, or take things up a notch in a camouflage print, Columbia has plenty of options to ensure that your trail gear matches your personal style.

Hiking Shoes

Every outdoor expert knows that having the proper footwear is crucial for any activity. From flat sandals that are perfect for taking a dip in the lake to hiking shoes that’ll keep you supported and comfortable, choose the style that matches your activity. For cold-weather excursions, add a pair of durable snow boots that’ll fashionably accompany your trip to the lodge.

Down Jackets

You bundle up in your streamlined, wool coat for your nine-to-five, but weekend trips call for something a little sportier. Look to a hooded down jacket for lightweight warmth that won’t interfere with your outdoor activities. For ladies that need a bit more coverage from the cold, opt for a longer, ¾-length version to stay insulated all over.

Walkers, hikers, campers, listen up: Columbia’s got all of your gear covered. Start your activewear wardrobe off on the right foot with these outdoor essentials.
