How to Choose Adventure Apparel (and the Skincare to Go With It)

Whether you're hiking through the mountains, exploring the wilderness, or heading out on an urban adventure, the right gear makes all the difference — and so does looking after your skin while you're out there. Here's a practical guide to choosing adventure apparel, plus the outdoor skincare essentials we make here at Woods & Hunter.

1. Prioritize Comfort and Durability

Adventure apparel should be comfortable for long hours while standing up to rugged conditions. Look for breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics that resist wear and tear — merino wool, organic cotton, bamboo, and recycled polyester are all good choices.

2. Layer Smart

Outdoor weather changes fast. Versatile layering — base layers, moisture-wicking shirts, insulated jackets, and waterproof outerwear — lets you adapt as conditions shift.

3. Choose Sustainable Fabrics

Look for clothing made from organic, recycled, or responsibly sourced materials like organic cotton, hemp, and Tencel to reduce your footprint.

4. Don't Forget Your Skin

Wind, sun, and cold are hard on skin and lips. This is where we come in. Our USDA Organic Peppermint Tea Tree lip balm is a favorite for the trail — it's a bestseller with hikers and skiers for good reason. For cold-weather trips, the cooling Mint Eucalyptus balm is another great pick. Browse the full organic lip balm collection to stock your pack.

5. Freshen Up After the Trail

After a long day outdoors, a good shower is everything. Our Hydrate Tea Tree body wash has a crisp, invigorating scent that's perfect post-hike, and the whole organic body wash collection is made with organic ingredients.
