Trailmade pants
These durable hiking pants have a zippered pocket for essentials, two front and two back pockets, stretch fabric for a wider range of motion and a drawcord for a built-in belt. They're also UPF 50+ for sun protection and have reinforced knees for padding in case of fall. Great for hiking or climbing, they come in women's sizes 0-22W, including petite, and men's sizes 28W-50W.
Promising review: “I love these hiking pant SO MUCH! They are light weight, super fit, true to size, not baggie legged but just enough room to move freely. Easy to roll up the legs to wade in water! They look great! Very flattering with or without the drawstring tight on the bottom of the legs. I got the olive green ones. I am 5'6" weigh 160 and got a size 10. Great fit! If I could request a tiny change I would ask for a wee bit more inseam, just a half inch to one inch would be nice. I'd love some light colors too, like khaki so I can see ticks if they crawl on my pants. REI nailed it with these pants. The best ever! I'm ordering another pair in same olive green color to have on hand if these ever wear out. I'm getting a blue pair too. I can hardly wait to hit the trail in these pants. Never stop making these REI!!” - Terrih

Flash TT hiking boots
A great pick for thru-hikers and backpackers, the Flash TT hiking boots have a rocker-like outsole for uphill support and some grippy traction for uneven surfaces. Made with recycled materials, they're also waterproof for wading through streams and rivers and very lightweight to combat fatigue. Grab a pair in women's sizes 6-11 or men's sizes 8-13.
Promising review: “These feel more like shoes than a boot. I feel as if I’m wearing Hoka’s Clifton 9 when I run. They are comfortable for me and I have wide feet and low arches. Normally I wear a size 11 but I always size up by half on any shoe because of my wide feet. Overall these are comfortable shoes. Very pleased with them.” - Anthony

Promising review: “Best shirt I own for active and causal wear. I love these shirts so much I got six, all different colors, and the long sleeve variants. I have a mid-long torso and these are a great length. The matieral is light, comfortable, and has stayed that way through over a year of use in both active and causal conditions. I've taken these running, traveling, hiking, camping, and they've all held up great in terms of color, fabric quality, and fit. Highly, highly recommend.” - Darwins Scythe
