KÜHL Outdoor Gear: the Accessories, Soft Goods, and Trail Essentials That Round Out Your Kit
Choose from a curated mix of outdoor gear designed to back up every layer of the system you already trust:
Cozy Camp Comfort. Our blankets bring the same high-performance fleece warmth you'd want from technical outerwear to your couch, your campsite, and the back of your truck. Soft-faced, packable, and built for the shoulder seasons when one extra layer is the difference between staying out and packing up.
Waterproofing and Fabric Care. Keep the shells, hats, and waxed-canvas pieces you already own performing like new. Our waterproofing wax uses an exclusive blend of beeswax and plant-based ingredients (no oils, petroleum, or silicone) so your gear stays naturally protected without losing breathability.
Hats, Caps, and Neck Gaiters. Sun cover and storm cover in equal measure. Look for UPF 50+ protection, moisture-wicking interiors, and quick-dry construction. The right neck gaiter pulls double duty: a lightweight sun barrier when summer hikes turn into all-day pushes, and a soft fleece collar when the storms roll in and every slope starts to feel like a black diamond.
Belts, Bags, and Daily Carry. Quick-release hardware, curved webbing that rises with the natural movement of your hips, and packs sized for trailheads and travel days alike. Built low-profile so they ride well under a jacket and stand up to actual abuse.
Trail Hydration and Fuel. Insulated bottles that hold cold drinks twice as long, plus the small-batch coffee and trail-ready mints curated for the post-summit moment that matters.
Look for signature touches across the category: UPF 50+ sun protection, moisture-wicking interiors, quick-release buckles, and the kind of construction that holds up across hiking, skiing, and shoulder-season travel. Pair with our ski collection when temperatures drop hard, or pull additional warmth from the Aktivator collection on days that turn cold mid-trail.

KÜHL outdoor gear covers the accessories, soft goods, and trail essentials (blankets, hats, neck gaiters, hydration, fabric care) that back up your apparel kit.
What is outdoor gear?
Outdoor gear is the curated mix of accessories, soft goods, and trail essentials that back up your apparel kit: blankets, hats, neck gaiters, belts, packs, hydration, fabric care, and the small-but-meaningful extras that come along for the ride.
This category collects the pieces that don't belong on a pants or jacket page but earn their spot in your truck, your pack, or your gear closet. Think of it as the support system: the warmth, sun cover, hydration, and care products that keep the rest of your kit working trip after trip.

What KÜHL fabrics and features show up in outdoor gear?
Expect generic technical performance built around UPF 50+ sun protection, moisture-wicking fabrics, quick-dry construction, and 4-way stretch where it matters.
Neck gaiters and hats lean on soft micro-fleece interiors that wick sweat and dry fast. Belts feature curved webbing with quick-release buckles for one-handed convenience. Blankets borrow the same high-performance fleece used in technical outerwear. The waterproofing wax in this category uses a 100% natural beeswax and plant-based blend (no oils, petroleum, or silicone) so the shells and canvas pieces in your closet stay water-repellent without losing breathability.

Who is outdoor gear designed for?
Outdoor gear is designed for anyone whose adventures don't stop at apparel: hikers, skiers, cyclists, campers, travelers, and the people who'd rather over-prepare than turn around.
It assumes a buyer who already knows what they need from their layers and is here for the accessories that round out a real kit. Sun protection for shoulder-season day hikes. A neck gaiter for cold lift lines. A blanket for the truck. A bottle that survives the cycling commute. None of it is decorative.

How does outdoor gear fit into your overall kit?
Outdoor gear fills the gaps between your shells, midlayers, and baselayers: the sun cover, warmth, hydration, and fabric care that keep the rest of the system performing.
Worn around the neck, on the head, or in the pack, these pieces extend the conditions you can stay out in. A UPF 50+ hat lets a midweight long sleeve work harder in the sun. A fleece neck gaiter pulls warmth into a softshell setup on the way to the trailhead. Waterproofing wax keeps your shells and canvas pieces shedding water years after the factory DWR finish has worn off. When the temperature really drops, pull supporting warmth from the Eclipser Series.

What should you look for when choosing from outdoor gear?
Choose based on the specific gap the piece needs to fill in your kit, not on volume. The best outdoor gear is purpose-built for one job and built well enough to do it for years.
Key things to look for:
Key things to look for:
- Sun cover: UPF 50+ on anything that sees real sun, with moisture-wicking interiors so you can wear it all day.
- Warmth-to-weight: soft micro-fleece on neck gaiters and blankets, with quick-dry properties so they handle sweat and snow alike.
- Real hardware: quick-release buckles on belts, durable webbing that moves with you, and sealed seams on anything that touches water.
- Care products that don't compromise the gear: natural waterproofing that protects without coating the fabric in petroleum or silicone.
