Where do you head out for your summer hikes? Before you do, shop Arc’teryx’s summer hike essentials that you can use to protect yourself and keep cool especially on the hottest of days.

Aerios Backpack

The Aerios backpack by Arc’teryx is the perfect go-to pack for day, overnight or multi-day hiking and trekking. The pack was designed to be both light and durable so it can hold up whether you’re going on your first hike or your hundredth. Its 15L capacity means it can hold all of your essentials, from water, to snacks, extra layers and safety equipment.

Features you’ll love:

• Breathable shoulder harness and back panels to help keep you cool. It also has AeroForm padding to keep you comfortable all hike long.
• A front bungee with internal compression to secure any additional gear that can’t fit in your pack, or you want easy access to.
• High tenacity fabric made from Cordura, a polyamide thread with extremely high resistance to abrasion so your pack will be with you for years to come.

Lefroy Pant (men’s)

The Lefroy Pant comes in regular and short sizes. This technical pant is designed specifically for hiking and trekking in warm weather —  it’s made from Aequora AirPerm™fabric which is lightweight and extremely breathable. Plus, it’s Fair Trade Certified as part of Arc’teryx’s commitment to transition 80% of their products by 2025.

Features you’ll love:

• Additional pockets to store your phone or any small tools you want on hand.
• Articulated knees and a gusseted crotch so it’s easy to move and take on different types of terrain
• A relaxed fit, with the material being made of 86% nylon and 14% elastane.

Alroy Pant (women’s)

The Alroy Pant is made for it all; from a challenging day hike to a multi-day backcountry adventure. The Aequora AirPerm™ fabric allows the pant to be both cool and fast-drying, so you can wear these in a variety of conditions, even in the summer heat. And they are Fair Trade Certified just like the Lefroy.

Features you’ll love:

• Low profile waistband so your pants fit comfortably under your pack without digging into or irritating your skin.
• A trim fit and minimalist design make for an easy fashion-forward look.

Remige Hoody (men’s and women’s)

This Hoody is specifically designed to help keep you shielded from the sun while wicking away moisture on those warm summer days — and it comes in both women’s and men’s. It’s designed for freedom of movement, and the 100% polyester Thalden™ fabric feels great against your skin.

Features you’ll love:

• Two thumbs loops to make layering super easy and keep your sleeves in place. This Hoody works great as a base or mid-layer.
• The low-profile hood with a structured brim to keep you protected from the sun.
• UPF 50+ protection in the fabric makes it like you’re already wearing sunscreen (that you don’t need to reapply!), so you’re protected from harmful radiation.
