Best women hiking clothing according to redditors

I like: Under Armour Sunblock Hoodie

https://www.columbia.com/uv-protective-clothing/ - Lots of options, their button down shirts are often not as "safari" looking as the version by REI

Ex Officio, Toad & Co, and Royal Robbins all carry UPF clothing (tend to be a little costlier)

Outdoor Research
- price often fluctuates

Glacier Gloves (amazon often has for less money)

Most outdoor gear brands will carry UPF stuff, I try to find last season's colors on ebay to save money usually.

Also, there are such things as swim leggings - Roxy makes a bunch, and Athleta, Prana. They look like regular leggings but are UPF-rated and designed to work in water too.

I bought a pack of these socks from Costco last year. They haven't held up well at all. They've started to get holes. I've also got a pair of darn tough socks that I've worn for the last 7 years. They're in nearly the same condition as when I bought them, just a bit worn in places.

I also have about 24 pairs of these omni-wool socks I bought at nearly the same time. They're holding up as well as the darn tough and are much, much more comfortable. Though I did get them at $10 a 3 pack way back then. I still would buy more if I ever need to.

Also bought a pair of smartwool around the same time which are holding up pretty well. And a pair of wigwam then that are starting to get thin and go the way of the costco socks, but after a lot more time.

Fjallraven Abisko trekking tights are LIFE

Fjallraven - Women's Abisko Trekking Tights, Black, S https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NAG6XL4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_mp5zCbMN1FCH1

I tried them for the first time on Tahoe Rim Trail thruhike, now theyre my go-to to go-anywhere. Muggy humid to windy damp to dusty dry - these are just right

Totally worth the price

Can't recommend People Socks enough. Wish I could find them (or something similarly thick) in Argyle though

I have both Darn Tough and Point6 running socks.

These are the Darn Tough socks I have that compare to my Point6 socks: https://smile.amazon.com/Darn-Tough-Vertex-Ultralight-Cushion/dp/B01A6ML8GG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1487547326&sr=8-3&keywords=darn+tough+women%27s+socks+no+show
Mine are black.

I got the Point6 socks on sale for $10.99 at Eddie Bauer when I had a $10 reward certificate, so I literally got them for a dollar and change. My Point6 socks are lime green. Like my Darn Tough running socks, they are also no-show tab socks. I'm not a fan of the lime green, but I'm not going to complain about color when they cost a dollar.

Both are running socks. Both have held up equally well. Both retain their shape. Neither of them is prone to foot odor. For the two brands in comparable socks, I cannot find a reason one is better than the other (unless you count color, and that's not a brand-thing).

That said, I also have other styles of Darn Tough socks. I have these running socks in black:

I love them, too.

Because I adore my Darn Tough running socks, I ordered some other Darn Tough styles. I don't like them nearly as much. These attract every fuzzy in the house:
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F47M8WQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
They are also a challenge to put on. The ankles aren't tight while they are on, but they have very little give. They are hard to pull over the heel. I've also had trouble with the footbed stretching. I can wear my running socks for a week straight without any deformation, stretching, or stink. These stretch after just a day. By the end of the day, when I put my foot in my shoe for the umpteenth time, I might start to get a crease somewhere.
I got these in both "midnight" and "gray". The "midnight" version looks very fuzzy after washing rather than retaining its original appearance. Combined with the lint-magnet quality, I'm not keen on the "midnight" version. The "gray" version did a much better job of retaining its original appearance after washing.

These don't have the same level of comfort as the running socks, either:
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B001MA4GMK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I haven't worn these enough to determine whether there are any problems with footbed stretch. I specifically purchased them to wear at work because "charcoal" looked black in the listing. It isn't black. I'm in the Navy and wanted to wear them with my uniform, but am restricted to black socks, so they are a no-go. At some point, I'll probably wear them enough to give an in-depth review, but haven't had a chance yet.

I hope this helps!

Stretch khakis, black tee, and jacket and/or sweatshirt depending on season. I tend to go with a khaki colored pants because my jackets are black. I love my Prana pants, but sometimes I also wear Dickies. I just like having a slightly thicker fabric than leggings when I travel.

I'll try to enter with these. Maybe not the fuzziest or cutest, but they are soft merino wool, have a lifetime warranty, and can be worn several days straight without any stink at all. They are tough enough for outdoor activities, too.

Even if they don't win, you should get a pair! I have two pairs, and they are very comfy. At least, comfy on my scruffy feet :)

https://www.amazon.com/Womens-Outdoor-Water-Resistant-convertible-Lightweight/dp/B075DCBW2C I think these go up to double or triple XL? It's hard to say because it's weird sizing. Obviously Patagonia is useless (they have very limited sizing), but I've heard Columbia has extended sizing.

So... these, or even these, perhaps?

D'awww! 'Tweren't nuthin ((kicks dirt)) :]

((hugs))

I like these capris.

These are my favorite ever from Amazon! Probably won’t make it in time for OPs flight.... in her case I’d recommend the ones in the yellow box from walgreens! $10/pair I think? Great in a pinch!

I second darn tough socks. I also hate the feeling of seams on socks. Darn tough are very cozy and comfortable and I’m sitting here at work pushing my toes to the front of my socks trying to feel the seam and I can’t. I’m not sure about the female equivalent socks I use but these look about right. Light cushion is their thinnest, cushion is a good everyday sock and full cushion is thickest and best for winter. I hope this helps. I absolutely love my socks and have turned 5 people on to them who have all now got rid of all their old socks and only wear these. I realize I’m starting to sound like I work for them I swear I don’t lol.

i got these ones from Amazon and I'm a fan. i wore them shoveling snow and my feet were warm.

Winter is coming and I don't want to be bitchin' about cold feet.

Thanks.

I like these Columbia ones. I wear them for hiking and like to have pockets for things and because they're belted, I don't have to worry about them moving down. I'm fairly girly though so I like the length of them. If you're looking for longer, maybe you want ones like this.

I've had good luck with omni wool socks as well.

Bought this three pack about 5 years ago and wear them 2-3 days a week.

They have a nice fit under the arch of your foot as well.

Because there is nothing better than bacon, Sock It To Me Breakfast Food Women's Crew Socks. Curse your inevitable betrayal!!!

These socks are very good if you wear cropped pants. The uniqlo socks always slid down showing skin. These stay up look good and dont fade.

Yeah I figured they crinkle up like that when they get old. I'd probably stick with some nice wool hiking socks to fill the empty space instead. I like these

Momma Bear might like some Arabian tea?

I think she will enjoy it. Maybe a local Arabian store is nearby and sells tea too.

And you said she is a nurse. If she is still working and standing most of the time, I think these compression socks will be useful for her

I wish your mother a happy (early) birthday! And I hope your health gets better.

This one?

I’m probably gonna pick these ones up from amazon.
