Self-care Starts Here: Outdoor Accessories Matter

Regardless of your adventure pursuit, here are three items you'll need in your gear bag or suitcase and why!

 

Wool sock lovers enjoy an exceptional advantage: Wool's thermal regulation, like that offered by Darn Tough and Smartwool. It's a material that breathes and keeps feet warm in cold weather and cool in hot weather. Wool is the only textile that offers this ideal balance despite changing temperatures, which makes it the ultimate hiking and running sock material.

BUFFS are very useful in hot weather, as they protect the skin from the strong summer sun, while providing a cool contact cooling sensation. It is highly stretchable and can be used in a wide range of ways, including as a face guard or headband. It is ultra-lightweight and not bulky, making it easy to carry around. Whether you're outdoors, working out, or adding a unique touch to your outfit, BUFF® neckwear offers advanced fabric technology for superior comfort, breathability, and durability.

Finally, a hat (and we've got lots from BUFF, Columbia, KUHL, Tilley, Patagonia, Vuori and Prana) is your summer essential. In addition to protecting the skin from harmful UV rays, hats (particularly sun hats) can also help prevent other types of skin damage, such as sunburns, age spots, and uneven skin tone. We have lots of hats for the kids, too!

These are three great reasons to stop by today. See you at EO!
