    Promising review: "I LOVE this fleece. It is a lighter weight fleece than some others I have but still super cozy and fits beautifully! I have a long torso and am always a little worried about tops being too short but this fits just perfect. I bought a medium for a more fitted look and love it." —Melissa B.

    Get it from Backcountry for $29.48+ (originally $58.95; available in women's sizes XS-XXL and six colors).

    2. A three-pack of Stoic Merino Comp Trail crew socks that are ultra thin and breathable to regulate the temperature of your feet, but also strategically padded to prevent blisters.

    Promising review: "I agree these rock for all seasons. In the winter they keep your feet warm and come summer/warmer temps they breathe superbly. Can't beat em for the price." —Matt A.

    Get a three-pack from Backcountry for $13.98 (originally $34.95).

    3. A versatile UPF 40 Fjallraven hat with a wide brim to keep your cheeks safe from the sun without overheating you in the process.

    Promising review: "I bought this hat for a recent backpacking trip in the Eastern Sierras and it performed admirably. It's comfortable, breathes easy and did quite well in a bit of snow despite the G1000 fabric containing cotton. What I like most is that the brim stays stiff and does not flop around. I used to hike and camp in a ball cap, but I will now use this for all of my outdoor activities." —Sean Williamson

    Get it from Backcountry for $41.21 (originally $54.95; available in Medium and Large).

    4. A plush fleece Patagonia vest you'll rely on all through the transition weather months, when your weather app is having an existential crisis and preparation is key.

    Psst — reviewers love this vest, but note that is runs small and you may want to get a size up from your usual!

    Promising review: "I have this vest in khaki, and I really couldn't love it more. It's warm, stylish, and oh so soft — it's also held up very well through multiple washes. I wear it almost every day in the fall and spring, and often in the winter as well. Looks great over plain long sleeved shirts, collared shirts, and flannels." —Sarah B.

    Get it from Backcountry for $54.45 (originally $99; available in women's sizes XS-XXL and two sale colors).

    5. A North Face tank made with FlashDry fabric so your sweat won't stick to you all day long and make you feel like a human geyser.

    Get it from Backcountry for $23.97 (originally $39.95; available in women's sizes XS-XL and three colors).

    6. A lightweight, super packable wind jacket with reflective cuffs for extra safety before and after dark, and hidden zippered pockets to stash your keys and snacks.

    Backcountry

    Psst — reviewers love this jacket, but some recommend sizing up!

    Promising review: "As a runner, I need lightweight packable layers. Having a super light windbreaker has become one of the most important to me. People swear by the Patagonia Houdini and this is definitely a backcountry version of that but with better pocket placement in my opinion. I was able to put my phone in my pocket and then tighten the bottom drawstrings and then go on long runs without being distracted by my phone uncomfortable flopping around in my pocket or hitting against my chest and throwing off my rhythm. I have a size small and found it true to size, it's packable and lightweight enough that on a warmer run I was able to fold it up and shove it in the back of my sports bra without discomfort or having it jostling around." —Faith E.

    Get it from Backcountry for $54.97 (originally $99.95; available in women's sizes XS-XL and two colors).

    7. An Outdoor Research balaclava made with lightweight fabric that dries quickly against wind and snow, and can be worn over the mouth or under the chin — a true winter staple for any outdoorsy human.

    Promising review: "Killer for warm and cold weather. Super snug and doesn't get nasty after a few hours of use like other options. I use it every time I hit the slopes." —Mathew

    Get it from Backcountry for $19.57 (originally $33.95).

    8. A pair of soft brushed fabric performance leggings with both a side pocket and a ~secret pocket~ for your loose odds and ends.

    Backcountry

    Get it from Backcountry for $59.96 (originally $79.95; available in women's sizes XXS-XXL and two colors).

    9. A cozy fleece pullover in pastels so lovely that you'll change your whole fall aesthetic around them.

    Backcountry

    Promising review: "I basically haven't taken this off since I got it — it's soooo cozy! It's definitely a bit oversized from a fit standpoint, but think that it's true to size for other Backcountry tops. Although boxy, this fleece still feels feminine and flattering, and goes well well with high waisted jeans on cool summer evenings or joggers / adventure pants at camp. I'm 5'3" ~130 lbs and happy with the medium size." —Nicole Summer

    Get it from Backcountry for $59.96 (originally $79.95; available in women's sizes XS-XL and three colors).

    10. A ridiculously comfortable Patagonia dress with the comfort of a soft organic cotton blend and enough style to be worn juuuuust about anywhere.

    Backcountry

    Promising review: "EXTRA COMFY. It looks like you're trying, but really, you're wearing the most comfortable pajamas ever. I'm very pleased with this investment for all my forced upon formal occasions, because this dress is now my best kept secret. I will suggest sizing down. It's not too revealing but ideal for the summer heat." —Savannah

    Get it from Backcountry for $47.20 (originally $59.00; available in women's sizes XS-L and five styles).

    11. A game-changing hip pack for mountain biking and biking with a snug, secure fit and room for two water bottles, snacks, small pieces of gear, and even an outside pocket for your phone if you want to have it more accessible (sometimes you just gotta take a picture of a bird!!).

    Backcountry

    Promising review: "What a game changer! Plenty of room in the zipper for my tools, phone, and snacks. The pack sits perfectly on my hips-forgot it was even there. Therefore, I was able to climb technical sections better! It was also nice not to have backpack weighting me down. So my back wasn't sore at the end of my ride. Can we also acknowledge the Shark color? Nothing on the market like it! Nice not to have the same pack as everyone else." —Marie Boettcher

    Get it from Backcountry for $52.46 (originally $69.95; available in five colors).

    12. A super breathable North Face T-shirt that will, in the words of Demi Lovato, keep you ~cool for the summer~.

    Backcountry

    Promising review: "I really like the fit of this shirt! It is loose without looking too big. It is soft and comfy to wear all day long no matter what you are doing. The Slit Grey Desert Strip is a great colorway!" —Sarah V.

    Get it from Backcountry for $23.97 (originally $39.95; available in women's sizes XS-XL and six colors).

    13. A UPF 30 sun runner hat with mesh lining and a removable sun skirt to protect your neck, so you can be like, "You tried it, sun. But not today."

    Promising review: "If you're looking to save your skin from harmful UV rays then do yourself a favor and pick one up. I"m also a contractor here in the SLC Valley and spend a great deal of time on roofs in the summer. This has been a great piece of gear and easily washable when it get funky." —Matt A.

    Get it from Backcountry for $26.57 (originally $37.95; available in sizes S-XL and four colors).

    14. A pair of suuuuper versatile slip-on sandals so effortlessly stylish that you can pair it with just about anything in your summer wardrobe without overthinking it.

    Backcountry

    Promising review: "That dark garnet color <3. But as a merino top I can wear it like a base layer and then still get a beer after without feeling like long underwear. Really cute henley style in a performance fabric." —slopesty1e

    Get it from Backcountry for $104.96+ (originally $149.95; available in women's sizes XS-XL and three colors).

    18. A weatherproof North Face Carto Triclimate Jacket basically designed to withstand whatever Mother Nature throws at you — it's insulated, comes with an inner and outer shell you can remove if it gets too hot, and comes with an adjustable waist, hood, and cuffs for the perfect fit.

    Backcountry

    Promising review: "This jacket is perfect, I love how the outer shell protect against rain and wind and the inner shell keeps me warm. I can also take out the inner shell on warmer days if I need a light jacket or vise versa. The fit is perfect." —Mirissa P.

    Get it from Backcountry for $149.37 (originally $248.95; available in women's sizes XS-XXL and five colors).

    19. A pair of lightweight Kavu shorts with an elastic waistband and a breezy fit that will make your other shorts jealous.

    Backcountry

    Promising review: "Love these shorts! The length, the color, the waistband, they're perfect! I just wanted some cute but comfy shorts for the summer and these are exactly that. I'm over jean shorts and uncomfortable buttons and buckles. The fabric on these is soft and washes well. You can't go wrong with Kavu." —Jordan Kelch

    Get it from Backcountry for $27.96 (originally $39.95; available in women's sizes XS-L).

    20. A Fjallraven backpack with a laptop sleeve, a fleece-lined glasses and phone pocket, and extra durable construction that makes it an easy go-to no matter what the sitch.

    Backcountry

    Promising review: "The need was for something that had all the organization of a typical laptop compatible back pack with out looking like I had a kids back-to-school back pack on. The Raven fit the need with great organization but having a more organic / outdoor feel with the G-1000 fabric vs. the typical nylon packs that are out there. Over the year I have had this pack it has faded slightly which I think gives it a great look and feels more personalized." —Zach Branson

    Get it from Backcountry for $65.97 (originally $109.95).

    21. A waterproof dry bag to keep important things like your clothes, sleeping bag, and electronics safe from the rain while you're out on the trails.

    Get it from Backcountry for $18.71 (originally $24.95; available in three colors).

    22. A pair of lightweight Patagonia volley shorts with a comfy elastic waistband with a real "How can I get away with wearing pajamas without actually looking like it?" vibe.

    Backcountry

    Promising review: "These shorts are the perfect balance of light and durable. They feel comfortable in hot weather and the elastic drawcord is a nice addition that make them easy and hassle free." —Brian Higgins

    Get it from Backcountry for $47.99 (originally $69; available in men's sizes XS-XXL and four colors).

    23. A breezy pair of patterned ankle pants with crinkle gauze and a drawstring waist for maximum comfort, a tailored fit, and breathability.

    Backcountry

    Promising review: "I have had this pant for three days and have worn them three days in a row now. It is the perfect spring/summer everyday pant. The fabric is so comfortable and the fit is great. These are definitely great travel pants too. I plan on buying in more colors." —Colleen Burns

    Get it from Backcountry for $55.26 (originally $78.95; available in women's sizes XS-XL and three styles).

    24. A padded, fleece-lined North Face backpack designed for professionals, students, and day trippers alike, with a handy laptop sleeve and tons of internal pockets to keep your life organized.

    Backcountry

    Promising review: "I've had this backpack for a little over a year. I've hiked in it, used it for camping and most recently used it as a travel kid/diaper bag. This is a solid product. No issues so far with durability. LOTS of different compartments for storage. I would buy it again in a heartbeat." —Amanda

    Get it from Backcountry for $90.26 (originally $129).

    25. A sleek packing cube with a water-resistant base that you can use not only to make your luggage more organized, but your whole life more organized — these are a perfect way to make your summer clothes more compact to slide under your bed in the winter!

    Backcountry

    Promising review: "I helped outfit my little sister for a semester abroad, backpacking in Chile. The only thing she regrets not taking my advice on bringing more of is packing cubes! The 8L fits all my t-shirts easily. It's an inexpensive no brainer purchase for the traveler in your life. It's hard to explain to people who aren't already sold on packing cubes why they're so great unless they try them. I'll give it a shot though! For a minimal amount of added weight, you're saving quite a bit of space by compacting your clothes. This also reduces time spent digging through your backpack or luggage for what you need. I'm far from an organized individual and this makes me feel like I have my life together. It's a cheap purchase that reduces stress while traveling." —Ben Wilson

    Get it from Backcountry for $9.71 (originally $12.95).

    26. A snuggly North Face fleece button up jacket full of so many cozy lined pockets that you'll basically never take your hands out of them.

    Backcountry

    Promising review: "Honestly, I haven't taken this off since I got it. It's a warm fleece that can be worn as a jacket alone in 40 degree weather or layered under more jackets when the temps drop below freezing. I have the white color and have done yard work in it and doesn't hold much dirt surprisingly! I'd recommend this for anyone trying to be stylish and warm this fall :)" —Koly Swistak

    Get it from Backcountry for $74.48 (originally $148.95; available in women's sizes XS-XXL and four colors).

    27. A sturdy three-person mountaineering tent designed to withstand any kind of weather, including surprise storms. It also has two doors for easy exit and entry, mesh roof vents and zip mesh windows for breathability, and comes with storage pockets and vestibules to keep you organized.

    Backcountry

    Promising review: "We have bigger car camping tents and smaller backpacking tents but we wanted something a little less expensive for last minute adventures that would hopefully hold up to a dog as well as keep us warm in the Vermont shoulder season. Well, this did all of that and then some. We were very impressed. The three person is a snug fit for two average adults and a 70 lb dog. But it kept us warm with no condensation and plenty of ventilation in the early November, 20-ish degrees Vermont camping. We woke up to a thick layer of frost on everything outside and felt none of it. Super easy and quick setup. The vestibules are huge so it does take a fair bit of space but we are really happy with the quality at such a great price. Alps comes thru again!" —Surfy

    Get it from Backcountry for $239.96 (originally $299.95).

    28. A Suunto Ambit3 Run Heart Rate Monitor, which comes equipped with the ability to monitor your heart rate, track your distances, speeds, and altitudes, map routes for you with GPS tracking, and plan future workouts with a syncable app.

    Backcountry

    Promising review: "I bought this GPS watch for training purposes for an ultra-marathon, and so far it's been great! I haven't had any issues tracking the distance of my runs, and the battery will last for several hours while in GPS mode. I have only used the watch for road and trail running, so I can't comment on the other uses, but I would otherwise highly recommend this product." —Greg F.

    Get it from Backcountry for $183.20 (originally $229).

    29. A classic North Face beanie with fleece lining at the ears you'll be especially grateful to have on hand once winter comes a-knockin'.

    Backcountry

    Promising review: "What makes this beanie great for me is the polyester wool blend. Whenever I look for technical or quality pieces I’m always checking to see what fabrics are being used. Wool is without a doubt one of my favorite winter fabrics to use. Feels great with the fleece headband. Northface makes quality products that last for years and I expect this to serve me well in many adventures." —Wyyld

    Get it from Backcountry for $16.40 (originally $25.95).

    30. A weather resistant Snap-T Patagonia pullover designed with an adjustable collar and elasticized cuffs so you can either get some cool air in when you're working up a sweat, or trap in all your body heat when it's chilly as heck.

    Backcountry

    Get it from Backcountry for $68.99 (originally $99; available in men's sizes XS-XXL and six colors).

    31. A waterproof Arc'teryx coat with fully-sealed microseams to make it less bulky, a cute little double kick pleat in the back so you can use it on a bike, *and* and adjustable hood so you can keep your hair style safe from the ever dreaded raincoat squish.

    Backcountry

    Promising review: "I needed a coat that would look at home in the city but would actually keep me dry — and this is it! I loved the look of it online and knew I could trust it to function well because it's got Gore-Tex. The Codetta isn't bulky at all (it's really just a shell) and the longer length adds extra protection (meaning I'm good to go if I'm lucky enough to snag a seat on the subway). Hoods usually don't fit over my head, but this is the first time I can put my hood up and feel like my face is covered (without the awkward too-tight feeling). On colder days I can layer this over a fleece and still have plenty of room to move. The styling of this coat means I still feel put together when I head into the office on a rainy day." —Kelly A.

    Get it back Backcountry for $243.75 (originally $375; available in women's sizes XS-XL and four colors).
