Tester Kelly Bastone included the Divide shirt in her roundup of the best do-it-all women’s shirts because of its sweat-mopping, odor-squelching fabric and “smart-looking construction.” Whether you’re conquering an overnight flight or a multi-day trek, this shirt will keep you comfortable and feeling fresh through it all.

We love the Azura LT for its versatile, four-season insulation. Built for fast-and-light ascents, this pullover performs just as well for more casual endeavors, like relaxing around the campfire. It's packed with 40-gram hydrophobic Primaloft insulation, so it will stay toasty if you're caught in a shower.

This rain jacket has been a favorite of ours for years (the fact that it has been $100 since its debut in 1999 may be partly why), and it recently earned a spot in Backpacker's Gear Hall of Fame. It's light, packs down small, and stands up to years of abuse. "Not bad for a bargain price."
