Ridge Merino Women’s Convict Merino Wool Hoodie – An Invaluable Layer for the Backcountry

We are all looking for the perfect layering system. Maybe it exists, maybe it doesn’t, but I am getting pretty dang close to finding it. Ridge Merino’s Women’s Convict Merino Wool Hoodie ($149) has assisted me on this perfect layering quest I have been over the moon with its performance.
Although advertised as a mid-layer, I have been using mine as my base layer since it feels incredible on my skin and has a snug fit. The soft and light material is warmer than you would expect and has been invaluable in my layering system since I’ve owned it.

Kitsbow Hymasa Tee – An Innovative Tech Tee

Eliza Lockhart

Kitsbow has dedicated itself to making mens and womens technical apparel. Designed specifically for bikers, this gear is tailored to those who enjoy pedaling fast and moving through the mountains.

Although I’m not a biker, I tested the Hymasa Tee through running and hiking. I got a feel for its breathability, material and construction. This technical tee boasts fabrics that lower your body temperature and to be honest, I was skeptical.

Mountain Hardwear Right On Tank Top

Nicole Doty

I’ve been wearing the Right On Tank from Mountain Hardwear non-stop this summer! The lightweight material just sits comfortably on my torso and I honestly forget I’m even wearing a shirt. It isn’t baggy or tight so it fits my body perfectly without being too form-fitting. It is a top that I think could work for anyBODY. I’m 5’3, 130 pounds and I wore a small so I would say this fits true to size.

Women’s Exposure 2 Gore-Tex Paclite Plus Jacket Review

I was searching for a windbreaker jacket when I found the Women’s Exposure/2 Gore-Tex PacLite Plus Jacket by Mountain Hardwear. I wasn’t in the market for a new rain jacket but this rain shell is the perfect shield from wind AND rain. Living in Colorado means you need lots of different outerwear, so being able to consolidate the two is a huge plus for me.

Hoka One One Speedgoat 4 Women’s Trail Running Shoes – Built for Technical Terrain

Eliza Lockhart

Designed specifically for technical terrain, these trail runners are a trustworthy pair of shoes. Their Vibram Megagrip outsole, cushy midsole, and breathable upper make these the right partner for tricky terrain.

The Hoka One One Speedgoat 4 run a little narrower than some of Hokas other shoes but I still found them comfortable despite my slightly wide feet. (Although a little narrow they are still wider than the Speedgoat 3.) The upper hugs my foot nicely and keeps it secure on both the uphill and downhill.
