Choosing the right layer for crisp spring mornings and chilly fall nights can be a challenge. Our Ventum Wind Shell is crafted to cut the breeze and trap warmth in your base layer or against your skin.

Ventum fabric strikes the right balance between cutting cold wind while still allowing enough breathability for sweat to escape when hiking on chilly mornings and evenings.

It’s perfect for when a base layer alone is not enough, but insulation would make you overheat. Weighing under 2 ounces this is a must-have item for when you plan to hike in cool weather.

This windshell is unisex sizing. We do also have some women's sizes in our Bargain Bin while supplies last.

The Octa Hoody has an athletic fit. Please size up if you prefer a looser fit.

The spacious kangaroo pocket is perfectly positioned for use with a backpack belt, keeping essentials or trail snacks within easy reach.

When I tried on the prototype of this jacket at Trail Days in Damascus earlier this year, I knew I’d be getting one! I think my search for the perfect backpacking jacket is finally over! Bonus that it matches my Zpacks full zip sleeping bag! Zpacks does not disappoint. Just get one.

The Zpacks Ultralight Camp Shoes are crafted with serious hikers and backpackers in mind. Made from durable Robic fabric and breathable lycra mesh, these shoes offer a lightweight yet protective layer that lets your feet breathe after a long day on the trail.

The thin yet resilient 4mm foam sole is designed to keep rocks, roots, and rugged terrain from disturbing your downtime, so you can enjoy those campfires and late night privy visits without the weight of traditional camp shoes or waterlogged trail runners.

Compact and collapsible, these camp shoes are lighter than sandals and as comfortable as slippers. They are as packable as they are practical, fitting snugly in even the smallest corners of your backpack. Whether you’re a dedicated thru-hiker or a weekend warrior, the days of big, clunky footwear dangling off your pack are over.

These shoes are meant to be worn for short distances around camp. Not intended for hiking.
