Running and Hiking 🚶♀️ 🏃♀️
A solid one.
There are many options on the market, but you need to look out for comfy, water proof and breathable alternatives.
Hiking Pants: Backpacking, Trekking & Camping | REI Co-op
Such a good option if you want one shoe that can take you from hiking to trail runs. I especially love the roomy toe box + extra grip for uneven trails.

My kind of everyday running shoe: comfortable, supportive and easy to reach for whether I’m doing a proper run or just getting my steps in.
Brooks Ghost 18 Road-Running Shoes - Women's | REI Co-op
One of those things you don’t think you need until you start doing longer runs or hikes 😅 So much easier than carrying a bottle in your hand.

A simple lightweight backpack for day hikes. Enough room for water, snacks, sunscreen and an extra layer without carrying a huge hiking pack.
Osprey Daylite Pack Special Edition | REI Co-op
Please please please, if i can recomend you something, is THIS. Good socks make SUCH a difference on longer walks and hikes.
Merino is my favorite because it’s comfortable, breathable and much nicer than regular cotton socks.
Smartwool Performance Hike Light Cushion Crew Socks - Women's | REI Co-op
A really good everyday running shoe. I like these for the days when I just want something comfortable, reliable and easy to throw on.” Nike currently lists the Pegasus 42 as a women’s road-running shoe with ReactX cushioning, cool right?
Nike Pegasus 42 Women's Road Running Shoes
If you like listening to music while running but still want to hear what’s happening around you 👏 Open-ear headphones just make so much sense outdoors
OpenRun
Because I refuse to run holding my phone 😂 Tiny, lightweight and just enough room for the things you actually need.” It has a zip pocket, additional small-item storage and an adjustable low-bounce waistband.
Fast and Free Running Belt | Men's Work Out Accessories | lululemon
Dangerous purchase if you’re competitive with yourself 😂 Once you start seeing your pace, distance and progress, suddenly every run becomes a little challenge.
Forerunner® 265S
The kind of jacket I’d keep in my bag even when I think I won’t need it. Super lightweight and perfect when the wind suddenly decides to join the hike.
Patagonia Women's Houdini® Windbreaker Jacket
One thing I learned: regular socks and running socks are NOT the same thing 😂 Such a small upgrade but so worth it for longer walks and runs.
Bombas' running range includes cushioning and airflow-focused designs...meaning: run do not walk to get th...
Women's Run Ankle Sock 3-Pack
Not the cutest thing on this list but potentially the smartest 😂 If there’s ANY chance a hike could run later than planned, this is going in my bag. The Spot 400 produces up to 400 lumens and supports dual-fuel power.
