More About Women's Hiking Apparel
Shorts or capris, pants or hats, The North Face is known for top quality and performance that always comes in classic style. When you discover women’s hiking clothes from The North Face, there are no compromises. Function, fashion, and comfort can all work together.
Take our Women’s Aphrodite Shorts, for example. Made with FlashDry™ materials that wick moisture and four-way stretch herringbone fabric, this is women’s hiking apparel that feels as good as it looks.
Shop The North Face to make creating your hiking outfit easier. In the summer, put on a tank top or a short-sleeve t-shirt. Add a skort or some hiking shorts and you're ready to go.
For the in-between weather of spring or fall, move to layering with midweight jackets, fleece, or women's hoodies. Check out our top-selling Women’s Evolution Full-Zip Hoodie. Made from lightweight cotton with kangaroo pockets and an attached hood, it’s good for a chilly run, a packaway layer on a day hike, or a happy hour that cools down when the sun sets. Paired with leggings or hiking pants, you've got yourself a full look.
Check out our women’s new arrivals to see the latest. We’re always pushing the boundaries of apparel, travel gear, footwear, and everything else that you need.
For a day hike, consider these essentials:
Moisture-Wicking Clothing: Choose moisture-wicking base layers, tops, and bottoms to keep sweat away from your skin and regulate body temperature.
Hiking Pants or Shorts: Opt for comfortable and breathable pants or shorts that allow for unrestricted movement and protection against brush and insects.
Weather-Appropriate Top: Wear a lightweight, long-sleeve shirt for sun protection or a short-sleeve option in warmer weather.
Sturdy Footwear: Comfortable hiking shoes or lightweight hiking boots with good traction are a must for shorter hikes.
Hat: A wide-brimmed hat provides shade and protects your face from the sun.
Sunglasses: UV-protective sunglasses shield your eyes from harsh sunlight.
Backpack: A small daypack is ideal for carrying essentials like water, snacks, a first aid kit, and a light jacket.
For backpacking trips, focus on durability and comfort:
Hiking Boots: Opt for sturdy hiking boots that provide ankle support and protection on rugged terrain.
Moisture-Wicking Socks: Wear moisture-wicking socks to prevent blisters and discomfort during long hikes.
Layered Clothing: Pack lightweight base layers and versatile layers that you can easily add or remove as temperatures change.
Hiking Pants: Durable hiking pants with pockets for storing essentials are a backpacker's best friend.
Insulating Layers: Include fleece or down layers for added warmth during chilly nights.
Rain Gear: Pack a waterproof jacket and pants to stay dry in case of rain.
All women who take to the trail have at least one trait in common: toughness. The North Face provides women’s hiking clothes to match, along with hiking boots that stay dry. Our Women’s Offtrail Hike GORE-TEX® Shoes ranks among our toughest pairs. With interlocking systems of waterproofing materials and processes, Cordura® overlasted forefoot and integrated SKYCORE rock guard, this is a formidable foundation to any outfit.
In addition to your boots, consider packing gloves to protect from rough surfaces or chilly temperatures, hiking poles, and navigation tools like a map, compass, or GPS device in your backpack.
