Honestly one of my favorite little bags for hiking. It holds my phone, keys, sunscreen, lip balm and a few snacks without feeling bulky. Also perfect for travel days when I don’t want to carry a big bag.

These are one of those things you don’t think you need until you’re on a steep or rocky trail. Really handy for longer hikes and uneven terrain.
Black Diamond Trail Trekking Poles - Pair | REI Co-op
This is the layer I’d grab for a chilly morning hike. It’s cute enough to wear around town too, so you’re not buying something that only comes out for the trails.
Define Cropped Jacket *Nulu | Women's Coats & Jackets | lululemon
A lightweight layer I’d reach for on cooler hikes Easy to wear on its own or layer under a jacket when temperatures drop. It’s also not too heavy to carry if you need to take it off.
Swiftly Tech Long-Sleeve Shirt 2.0 *Waist Length | Women's Long Sleeve Shirts | lululemon
For longer day hikes, I’d definitely rather have a proper backpack than try to cram everything into a tiny bag. Room for water, snacks, sunscreen, an extra layer and all the little things.
Osprey
A comfy option for warm-weather hikes. The built-in support and racerback design make it easy to wear on its own or layer under a light jacket.
Ebb to Street Tank Top *Light Support, B/C Cup - Lululemon
A classic for a reason. These are the kind of hiking boots I’d reach for when I want something sturdy, comfortable and waterproof without going super heavy. Great for weekend hikes, muddy trails and anyone who wants a little more ankle coverage.
Merrell Moab 3 Hiking Shoes - Women's | REI Co-op
These are a great pick if you want something that feels lighter and more sneaker-like than a traditional hiking boot. I’d especially look at these for day hikes, rocky trails and trips where you’ll be walking a LOT.
Salomon XA Pro 3D V9 GORE-TEX Trail Shoes - Women's | REI Co-op
Good hiking socks make such a difference! These have light cushioning, breathable zones, and merino wool for comfortable days on the trail.

Small enough for a day pack but stocked with useful basics for minor trail mishaps.
