Women's Hike - Page 2

Whether you're reaching for shorts, capris, pants or hats, our reputation for quality and performance speaks for itself. Our collection of women's hiking apparel is no exception, proving that technical precision doesn't have to come at the expense of aesthetics. Here at The North Face, we specialize in hiking fashion for women that balances rugged practicality with modern fashion. We want function, comfort and style to work in total harmony. No compromise needed.

To make creating your hiking outfits easier, we provide a variety of versatile layers. In the summer, put on a tank top or a short-sleeve t-shirt and add some shorts to stay ready for the heat.

For the in-between weather of spring or fall, move to layering with lightweight jacket options or women's hoodies and sweatshirts for cooler nights. Paired with leggings or specialized hiking pants, you've got yourself a full look. Check out the women's new arrivals collection to see the latest in apparel and travel gear. 

When planning women's hiking outfits, consider these essentials for a day on the trail:

• Moisture-Wicking Clothing: Choose base layers and tops to keep sweat away from your skin.

• Hiking Pants or Shorts: Opt for breathable bottoms that allow for unrestricted movement.

• Weather-Appropriate Top: Wear a long-sleeve hiking top for sun protection or a lightweight t-shirt in warmer weather.

• Sturdy Footwear: Comfortable women’s hiking boots or shoes with good traction are a must for uneven ground.

• Hat: A wide-brimmed hat provides shade and protects your face from the sun.

• Backpack: Day-hiking backpacks are ideal for carrying water, snacks and a first aid kit. 

For longer trips, hiking gear for women must focus on durability and comfort:

• Hiking Boots: Opt for sturdy outdoor boots that provide ankle support on rugged terrain.

• Layered Clothing: Pack lightweight base layers and versatile mid-layers.

• Rain Gear: Always bring waterproof jackets to stay dry in case of sudden storms. 

All women who take to the trail have at least one trait in common: toughness. We provide the gear to match, including footwear that stays dry. Our GORE-TEX® shoes rank among our toughest pairs, featuring Cordura® materials and integrated SKYCORE rock guards for a formidable foundation.

In addition to your boots, consider packing women's gloves to protect from rough surfaces or chilly temperatures.
