Waterproof Monocular

Taking up less space than a pair of binoculars, but every bit as essential for watching that rare bird on a distant branch or the moose crossing your mountain path, the super-compact, super- light Zero Tube 8×25 Waterproof Monocular from NOCS Provisions is designed for even the most rugged trail conditions without weighing down your pack. Great features include ED glass and fully broadband multi-coated lenses for remarkably clear views, an IPX7 waterproof rating, and fog-proof nitrogen-filled internal chambers. Plus, they come in great colors: Ultramarine, Alpine Green, Crater Blue, Bone and Off-Piste.

Skin Reset Serum

When you’re hiking and exposed to wind and elements, good sunscreen and reliable, nourishing skincare are non-negotiable. Protect yourself with Bēm Skincare Barrier Reset Complex, an incredibly light, nourishing serum made with 5 percent niacinamide, N-acetyl glucosamine and panthenol that calms irritation and supports the production of ceramide, while also providing deep hydration, refining texture and strengthening the skin’s moisture barrier.

Regenerative, Travel-Sized Skincare

Or, choose the Travel Kit from FACTORFIVE. This collection of Regenerative Serum, Anti-Aging Cream, and Eye and Lash Cream comes in TSA-approved sizes, and is formulated with stem cell growth factors that deliver superior hydration and anti-aging benefits.

Toothpaste Tablets

In the genius corner of personal care travel products, there’s Hippotanicals Toothpaste Tablets. No squishy, leaky tubes that leave smears on your gear: These easy-to-pack tablets are perfect for all kinds of travel. This lifestyle brand promises biodegradable packaging, and 12 or fewer safe ingredients in each of the products in their line. Instead of controversial fluoride, tablets are made with hydroxyapatite to remineralize and strengthen tooth enamel, Xylitol, stevia, quillaja saponaria extract, calcium phosphate, calcium stearate and baking soda. They’re also free of sulfates, preservatives and artificial flavors. Pop one in your mouth, wet your toothbrush and enjoy your brushing experience in a choice of cinnamon or fresh peppermint flavors.

Travel-Friendly Rain Jacket

Out there in the wild, a rain jacket that fits into your kit, looks great and actually keeps you dry during unexpected downpours is an absolute essential. Showers Pass has just the ticket: The waterproof, breathable, packable Women’s Cloudburst Jacket, available in Pear or Black. Fully seam-taped for dryness, the host of features include soft, comfortable four-way stretch material crafted from three-layer eliteAIR fabric, a double cinch cord at the hem, a large back pocket finished with reflective trim, and a low-profile front zipper with storm flap and additional reflective trim. Sleek and tailored, it can be hand- or machine-washed in cool water.

Weighted Vest

If you’re inclined to turn your hike into an uber workout, here’s how to do it: Slip on a Zulu Weighted Vest from Zula Athletics. The vest features built-in accessory pockets located on the straps, perfect for cell phones and essentials. Reflective strips offer enhanced security for night hikes, and adjustable side and chest straps can be customized for chest sizes from 31 to 54 inches. The Fresh Layer cover is removable and machine-washable. Vests come in 12-, 16- and 20-pound options, in Onyx, Limestone and Shore colors.

Artisan Throw

For trail break times when you just want to enjoy a picnic or quick nap under a tree, bring along an artisan-crafted, handwoven throw from Purple Nest. This women-owned company creates throws made from Alpaca wool handloomed in the Andes Mountains. Products are beautiful, ethically-sourced and Fair Trade, adding a welcome dose of luxury, warmth and eco-consciousness to your expedition.
