Milder temperatures, blooming flowers, and emerging wildlife are calling travelers to outdoor adventures. “At this time of year, everyone is more than ready to get outside and spend time in nature,” says Robert Felder, Founder & CEO of Bearbottom. “But whether you are planning a hike, camping trip, or simply exploring a new destination, take a moment to think about packing. The right clothes can make or break your outdoor spring expeditions.”

Pack layers for outdoor spring vacations

One of the most important things to remember when packing for spring outdoor adventures is to dress in layers. Spring temperatures can be quite unpredictable, with chilly mornings turning into hot afternoons. By wearing layers, people can easily adapt to the changing weather conditions.

“Start with a moisture-wicking base layer that will keep you dry and comfortable,” advises Felder. “Add a lightweight fleece or a softshell jacket to provide insulation, and top it off with a waterproof and windproof outer layer to protect you from rain and gusty winds.”

The arrival of spring also means the return of pesky mosquitoes and other insects. In addition to insect repellent, a lightweight outer layer of long-sleeved shirts and pants provides added protection from bug bites.

Bearbottom’s Tech Tees and Knit Hoodies help spring adventurers layer in style. “Our clothes keep you comfortable in all types of weather,” says Felder, “so instead of thinking about what you are wearing, we let you focus on what you are doing.”

Bearbottom’s Roam Collection hoodies feature quilted styling and a cozy cotton blend perfect for an outer layer. The buttery-soft Knit Loft Hoodies are another excellent choice for chilly spring mornings.

Bearbottom’s silky-smooth long or short-sleeve Tech Tees are constructed from antibacterial, moisture-wicking, and flexible fabric. In spring, hikers can wear them as an inner layer or on their own.

Spring’s best clothes for travel are made of breathable fabrics

When selecting clothes for spring adventures, people will opt for breathable fabrics that allow moisture to escape and prevent overheating. Synthetic blends provide insulation and wick away sweat, keeping people dry and comfortable in all conditions.

“At Bearbottom, we specialize in innovative fabrics that prioritize comfortable fit and a full range of motion,” notes Felder. “This spring, you can upgrade your hiking game with our Run Jogger, which is made with the same high-performance fabric as our best-selling run shorts.”

Bearbottom’s all-new Run Jogger is lightweight and breathable — perfect for spring. It provides a zippered key pocket and built-in phone stability pouches to keep essentials safe during outdoor adventures.

The new Run Joggers are made of a 4-way stretch fabric with an elastic waistband. The high-quality, moisture-wicking, and anti-microbial material offers extreme comfort and an athletic fit that looks great. Best of all, when hikers, campers, and kayakers return from their spring travels, they can toss the 88% recycled polyester and 12% spandex blend straight into the washing machine to prepare for the next outdoor adventure.

Packing accessories and proper footwear for spring vacations

“When packing for your next spring hiking adventure or setting out in your kayak, don’t forget swimwear,” says Felder. “Our new men’s Stretch Swim is here, just in time for the warm weather.”

The Stretch Swim trunk from Bearbottom offers adventure-ready features like 4-way stretch fabric and a DWR water-resistant treatment that dries in no time. Its elastic waistband and zero-chafe, flexible mesh liner provide swimmers with ultimate comfort.

Bearbottom’s Stretch Swim’s lightweight and machine-washable fabric, made from recycled materials, includes 90% recycled polyester and 10% Spandex. It enables swimmers to look good in a stylish, relaxed fit and feel good about their choices for the environment.

In terms of other accessories, spring trails can be muddy and slippery, so people should invest in a good pair of waterproof hiking boots or sturdy trail shoes that offer ankle support and have a reliable grip.

A wide-brimmed hat or cap and sunglasses with UV protection safeguard people from harmful sun exposure. Finally, lightweight and quick-drying socks and gloves protect against chilly winds or unexpected temperature drops.

Spring weather is notoriously unpredictable, with sudden showers being a common occurrence. People should do their best to prepare by packing a lightweight and compact rain jacket or poncho. A waterproof backpack cover can also come in handy.

Packing the right clothes for outdoor spring adventures is all about being prepared for changing weather conditions. By dressing in layers, choosing breathable fabrics, wearing proper footwear, and considering accessories, people can comfortably embrace the beauty of nature during this wonderful season!

“We take the clothing in our lineup seriously and test every new product before recommending it,” Felder concludes. “We have the clothes you need for adventures in every season. Our premium stretch fabrics offer enhanced performance that helps you think less about your clothes and more about getting out there and enjoying your spring adventures.”
