LOVED the poncho on my 500 mile section of the PCT this year... it's one of my top 5 favorite pieces of gear!!! I used it in a downpour at the northern terminus as I completed 7 years of section hiking the PCT.

Amazingly light but cuts the wind and holds the heat in with a layer underneath!

– Joe B., ★★★★★

Choosing the right layer for crisp spring mornings and chilly fall nights can be a challenge. Our Men's Ventum 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. Ventum fabric tests at 39.5 CFM under ASTM D-737.

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.

If you don't see your size, we also have some sizes available at a discount in our Bargain Bin while supplies last.

NRS HydroSkin® Gloves are perfect for hikers looking to cut the chill without sacrificing grip or feel. Great in the rain, snow, or other wet cold conditions, the thin neoprene material insulates and protects your hands even when wet. It allows you the enhanced mobility to easily pitch your tent in the rain or snow, or breakdown and pack up your cold wet tent the morning after a rainy night.

These also make excellent winter gloves for shoveling snow or scraping ice off your car, while small enough to fit in your jacket pocket. Combine them with Vertice Rain Mitts as a shell to keep them dry, and they can handle even arctic temperatures.

Keep your toes warm when wet too with NRS HydroSkin Socks.

AVAILABLE TO CUSTOMERS IN THE UNITED STATES ONLY

NRS HydroSkin® Socks are the ultimate liner for hiking through snow, streams or other wet and cold conditions. They are thin enough to easily slip into your boots, trail runners, or sandals. The neoprene core insulates and protects your feet even when wet, and the 4-way-stretch PowerSpan™ outer layer gives you enhanced mobility and greater durability.

Keep your fingers warm when wet too with NRS HydroSkin Gloves.

Couldn’t be happier with this down hood. Perfect for quilt users, doesn’t slide around or off your head at night like a beanie can on straight, slick hair. Much better than the hood on a sleeping bag, which can slide into your face when you turn, and of course can’t be detached for use as a separate warm hood. The ultra light weight is remarkable. It’s very warm and has a cozy fit and feel.

Get ready for sweet dreams on cold nights when bundled up with the Goose Hood. A perfect companion to your ultralight down quilt, stay cozy and snug tucked away from the cold. The Goose Hood can also be worn by itself when you need extra protection from the chill.

I’m a cold sleeper and was looking for options to help keep my feet warm through out the night. In the past I’ve used wool socks which helped but didn’t quite keep the chill out. The first night I used the goose socks it was like heaven! They are so lightweight and add noticeable warmth! These will extend my hiking season well into the late fall, worth every penny!

Do not hike in these socks. Treat them as you would your sleeping bag.

Color requests are not available, the Medium sizes socks come in Green and the Large in Blue. Both sizes include a matching Ventum stuff sack!

This thing was easy to attach and very lightweight. It will help me not lose track of IDs and cash in the bottom of my pack!

Make sure you don’t lose your most important items. Attach this stick-on key zip pouch to the inside of your backpack, and your keys, wallet, passport, smartphone or other valuables will still be where you left them at the end of your hike. When you get to town the pouch detaches and fits in your pocket.

Just peel off the brown paper backing from the included flat clips and attach the pouch inside your backpack where you want it. We usually stick it towards the top of the backpack right behind the shoulder straps so that it is easy to get to. The adhesive bonds well with Dyneema® Composite Fabric​ material and will also work on any urethane coated backpack material. Spare Stick on Flat Clips are available if you want to clip this pouch to a second location.

*The Stick-On Key Zip Pouch is only available in Black*

A few weeks earlier, I would have just lived with a cold head. But not now! For almost no weight and a tiny amount of space in my pack, I put up a strong defense against hypothermia. Another great product!
