Every adventure needs the appropriate gear.  Whether your outdoor activity is a tough wilderness trek or just a round of golf, the right clothing can make all the difference in terms of comfort and even safety.  Here are some of our picks for great outdoor wear.
.

Ex-Officio has a wide range of adventure and travel clothing.  Their Air StripTM Lite men’s shirt (available in long or short-sleeved versions) protects from UV rays with 30+ SPF fabric and three-position sun collar, is lightweight, wrinkle-resistant, and with its special 80/20 nylon polyester fabric blend and ventilation system, keeps you cool and dry by wicking away moisture.  Want even more protection?  Try one of the company’s Insect Shield® options, such as the Women’s Insect Shield® Convertible Pants.  The repellant in the fabric is good for 70 washings (that’s a lot of adventures).  The pants also keep you warm in the morning or evening, but zip off to shorts when the sun is high.

Another find we love is the Infinite Dress®.  This incredibly versatile garment allows you to achieve as many as 20 different looks.  It weighs only two pounds, is incredibly comfortable and resists wrinkling.  The dress’s acetate/Lycra Jersey blend gives it a luxurious feel and a beautiful drape without clinging or snagging.  It ‘s also washable.  Having one basic dress along lets you move from adventurer by day to classy styling woman by night.  Not a dress kind of gal?  Opt for the Infinite Pantsuit instead.  

Last, but definitely not least, is the ultimate convertible garment for men and women, the Macabi Unbifurcated Garment or MUG.  The women’s version is also known as the Macabi skirt.  The photo above shows a group of women wearing the skirt in Nepal.  Amazingly versatile, you can wear the MUG as a kilt or skirt, snap it into trousers or convert it with the second set of snaps to wading shorts, great for fishing or other water sports.  Oversized pockets, zippered security pocket and cell phone pocket let you take it all with you.  The MUG is made of a special, breathable nylon fabric that feels as soft as cotton, but is breathable and quick drying.
