As the snow melts away and the trails dry up, the lure of the great outdoors becomes irresistible. However, spring into summer can be tricky for dressing appropriately — you need gear that adapts to changing weather conditions and keeps you comfortable as temperatures rise. For enthusiasts who don't compromise on the quality of their outdoor gear, finding the right apparel that offers function and style is essential. Whether scaling a challenging hill or taking a serene walk through the valley, your hiking gear should support your performance every step of the way.

 

1. Embrace Layering with High-Tech Fabrics

Layering is the key to comfort during the spring-to-summer transition. Versatile pieces from SportHill's TempTech™ and SummerLite™ collections offer an excellent start.

TempTech™ Tees and Sun Hoodies: The TempTechTM Short Sleeve Tee (available for both men and women) is a breathable, moisture-wicking base layer that helps regulate body temperature by removing perspiration from the skin, keeping you dry and comfortable in a range of temperatures. As the sun climbs, layer on a TempTech™ Sun Hoodie for added UV protection without the heaviness.

SummerLite™ Tanks and Tees: Once summer starts peeking through, transition into the ultra-lightweight SummerLite™ fabric options. The Men's and Women's SummerLite™ Short Sleeve Tees and Tanks offer a barely-there feel while ensuring you remain calm under the sun's increasing strength.

1. Choose Adaptable Lower Wear

Long days on the trail require shorts and pants to handle a cool morning and a warm afternoon.

Men's and Women's Ultra-RX and Ridgeline™ Shorts: Initially designed for more temperate conditions, pieces like the Women's Ultra-RX Short and the Men's Ridgeline™ Short are perfect as temperatures start creeping up. Their technical fabrics offer stretch and durability, which are ideal for accommodating movement and various trail conditions.

Convertible Tech: Don't forget options like the Men's Ridgeline™ Pant, with quick-dry technology and stretch, perfect for days when the weather can't decide.

1. Incorporate Versatility in Accessories

Accessories should not be overlooked. A good pair of moisture-wicking Men's TempTech™ Boxer Briefs or a supportive Women's SummerLite™ Bra can make significant differences in comfort and performance.

1. Footwear and Socks

Pair your outfit with the proper footwear—waterproof hiking boots or lighter trail shoes, depending on your route and weather forecast. Ensure your socks are breathable and designed for hiking to avoid blisters and discomfort.

1. Prepare for Changing Conditions

Lastly, always pack a Lightweight rain jacket and an extra mid-layer like the Men's SummerLite™ Long Sleeve Tee, which can be tied around the waist or stashed in your backpack. These are invaluable when facing unexpected drops in temperature or sudden spring showers.
