Whether you're planning a hiking trip, a weekend getaway by the lake, or simply exploring urban trails, having the right outdoor gear can make all the difference.
As we head into 2026, adventurers need clothing that's lightweight, protective, and versatile. Capelin Crew offers a curated collection of outdoor apparel designed to meet these demands.
Here are the top essentials every modern explorer should consider.
1. Lightweight Anti-UV Jacket
The unisex anti-UV packable jacket is an absolute must-have for sun-drenched adventures. Made from a dense ripstop nylon, this jacket provides UPF 40+ protection and is fully packable — it folds into its own chest pocket, making it ideal for travel or spontaneous hikes.
Why it's essential: Offers reliable sun protection without bulk, and its compact size means you can carry it easily in a backpack.
2. All-Round Sun Safety Layer
Enter the River Unisex Anti-UV Jacket, featuring UPF 100+ thanks to ultraviolet-blocking yarns (not just chemical treatment). Weighing just 160g, it's ultralight and breathable, with mesh panels and back ventilation to keep you cool and protected.
Why it's essential: Perfect for long hikes, beach trips, or any activity where sun exposure is high — and you need a breathable layer that doesn’t feel like a burden.
3. Versatile Waterproof Windbreaker
No outdoor wardrobe is complete without a jacket that stands up to wind and rain. Climb Unisex 3L Windbreaker Jacket (from their outdoor collection) is designed for serious weather: waterproof, windproof, and breathable.
Why it's essential: This jacket is your go-to shield during stormy mountain climbs or sudden downpours on trail days.
4. Light But Protective Cargo Pants
For outdoor pants that combine utility and weather resistance, Capelin Crew’s Camp Unisex Cargo Pant is a standout choice. These pants offer practical pocket placement and durable materials suited for trekking, climbing, or just exploring rugged terrain.
Why it's essential: Cargo pants give you the structure and storage you need for outdoor gear, without sacrificing comfort or flexibility.
5. Breathable Shorts for Warmer Days
When the sun is out and the trails are calling, Jump Women's Cargo Short (or its men’s version) is a smart pick. These shorts are lightweight, durable, and designed for movement — ideal for summer hikes or adventure travel.
Why it's essential: Keeps you cool while giving you enough coverage and storage for your essentials, all without weighing you down.
6. Sun-Smart Matching Bottoms
Pair your anti-UV jackets with the Aero Women's Cargo Pant, which complements Capelin Crew’s outdoor line with a breathable, ripstop design.
Why it's essential: Provides sun protection lower down the body while keeping the outfit cohesive and travel-friendly.
7. Face Cover for Outdoor Protection
Don’t forget a multipurpose face cover — especially useful in windy, dusty, or sunny environments. Capelin Crew offers a Unisex Face Cover that adds style and function in equal measure.
Why it's essential: Shields you from wind, sand, and sun; a simple yet highly practical accessory.
