Backcountry On the Go Pant — Women’s: $52 (35% Off)

These quick-dry pants are great for hitting the trail. Lots of stretch, a drawstring waist, moisture-wicking fabric, cinched cuffs at the ankles, and a variety of pockets provide what you need while on the go. Reviewers love them for everything from biking to hiking, travel, and lounging at home.

Salomon XA Pro 3D V8 — Women’s: $91 (30% Off)

These shoes are a bit heavy for trail running but perfect for a sturdy hiking shoe (that can double for short trail runs!). I have worn these a few times, and they do great on wet, muddy, and icy surfaces. The cushioned midsole provides plenty of support, and the protective toecap would make these great for more technical hikes and runs.
