2007 Spring Apparel Guide
T-shirt on Ice
Hiking on a hot day? Try wearing some Dry Ice.™ The Helio is a short-sleeved T-shirt, made by New Balance, and uses Dry Ice™ yarns to move moisture away from the body. Through the drying process, the yarns actually lower your body temperature. Up-to-date styling means you’ll look as cool as you’ll feel. MSRP: $50

Ultimate Base Layer
Staying dry begins at skin level — the excellent wicking properties of high tech shirts and shorts does you no good if you’re wearing cotton undies. A wet bottom can chafe tender spots, so your first layer should be Patagonia’s “Active Brief” — under-pants made of a soft, fast-drying, odor-controlling polyester, complete with rolled out seams for next-to-skin softness. Available in women’s and men’s styling; the men’s
version has a functional fly.
MSRP: $19.50 men’s; women’s $18

The WalkWrap, by Walk Styles, is a lightweight knit wrap that offers cuddly protection, no matter what the season. Elegant styling can dress up the most casual outfit, making it a matchless dinner date for when you’re not on the trail.
