***The Mirage has a slim athletic fit. If you prefer a looser fit please size up.***

Developed over 3,000 miles on the Continental Divide Trail & tested in the Alps, The Mirage Merino Sun Hoody is engineered to elevate your outdoor experience and be the pinnacle of natural ultralight sun protection.

We’ve teamed up with Evolved Supply Co to create an expertly designed, ultra-comfortable, and lightweight sun hoody that provides superior sun protection, breathability, and advanced moisture management, ensuring you stay cool even during the most intense outdoor activities.

Thoughtful features include a quarter-zip to help regulate body temperature, a unique hood design to protect you from the sun while still allowing for air flow, and thumb holes that provide sun protection for your hands and prevent your sleeves from riding up.

Our ultralight Trail Cool Merino Wool T-Shirt is comfortable and super soft to the touch.  Merino Wool base layers are ideal for hiking, backpacking, trail running and other outdoor adventures. Wool's natural ability to control moisture and odor help to keep you comfortable every step of the trail.

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.

When those cold nights in the backcountry hit, stay warm and cozy with our Goose Down Jacket. Striking the perfect balance of warmth and weight,​ our ultralight Goose Down Jacket is the go-to insulated layer for outdoor adventurers looking to beat the chill at an unbeatable weight!

 

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

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.

Could be the best rain jacket on the market. Keeps you dry from the rain outside and dry on the inside as it is very breathable.

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.

The kilt packs down to nothing and very very light weight. Far better than carrying rain trousers at 5 times plus for weight. The kilt is very easy to use quickly and no need to take boots off. A great idea that keeps you dry with good quality materials and finish. Arrived quickly when ordered.

Perfect for the summer rain. Nice and light for warmer rains, and the zipper gives more room for a longer stride and some extra circulation.
