Elevenate’s premium outdoor apparel is designed for mountain enthusiasts who demand gear that performs when it matters most.

Building Your All-Weather Hiking Wardrobe

Layering: The Key to Comfort

Layering is a mountain lover's best strategy to conquer unpredictable weather. By mixing and matching layers, you can easily adjust to shifting conditions without sacrificing comfort or performance.

Base Layers: Stay Dry, Stay Happy

Your base layer is your second skin—so make it count. Choose moisture-wicking fabrics like merino wool for unbeatable odor control and temperature regulation, or synthetic blends for durability and faster drying. Whether you’re grinding uphill or pausing to soak in the view, a solid base layer keeps you comfortable and dry.

Mid Layers: Insulation for All Seasons

Here’s where the magic happens. Mid layers provide warmth without bulk. Fleece jackets are lightweight, breathable, and perfect for layering, while down or synthetic insulated jackets bring the heat when the temperature drops. For versatility in the mountains, synthetic insulation excels—it dries faster and performs even when wet, ideal for high-energy adventures. Wool blends offer a natural, breathable warmth, perfect for those who value sustainability and comfort.

Outer Layers: Weatherproof and Breathable

Outer layers are your armor against the elements. Look for shells made with materials like Gore-Tex or similar tech for waterproofing that doesn’t trap sweat. Whether it’s a drizzle or a downpour, these jackets and pants keep you dry while letting your body breathe. Bonus points if they’re packable—because space in your backpack is precious.

 

Weather-Specific Essentials

Warm-Weather Hiking

When the sun’s blazing, lightweight and breathable layers are your best friends. Think long-sleeve shirts to shield your skin from UV rays and shorts made from quick-drying materials. A wide-brim hat or cap is essential to keep the sun off your face and neck.

Cold-Weather Hiking

For frosty treks, you’ll need serious insulation. Start with a merino wool base layer, then add a fleece or lightweight synthetic jacket. Top it off with an insulated, windproof shell to lock in the warmth. Don’t forget gloves, a beanie, and wool socks to keep your extremities toasty.

Wet Weather and Rain

When the heavens open, you’ll want gear that can handle the downpour. Waterproof jackets with sealed seams and breathable membranes are non-negotiable. Pair them with rain pants and gaiters to keep mud and water at bay. Lightweight packable rainwear is a lifesaver for those sudden storms.

Accessories

• Hats and Caps: Protect yourself from sun and rain alike.
• Socks: Moisture-wicking socks prevent blisters and keep your feet comfortable.
• Backpack Essentials: Always pack an extra layer, like a packable insulated jacket, along with your hydration system and snacks.
