Osprey is a popular hiking brand known for its sleek and durable designs—and often-costly prices. However, right now, the brand's coveted Talon 22 backpack is $40 off, and the size is just right for day hikes or a light camping weekend. It can hold up to a 3-liter hydration bladder, has trekking pole holders, and is super adjustable for a perfect fit on every body.

These boots are waterproof, durable, comfortable, and ideal for entry-level and experienced hikers alike. The boots come in eight different colors, and have thick, sturdy laces, a grippy sole, and a suede outer that protects your foot and wears well over time.

Waterproof boots will keep your feet dry, but they can also make your feet incredibly hot. These boots, on the other hand, are ventilated, making them a great choice for summer hikes or trekking in dryer climates. They have a Vibram sole, which ensures grippiness even in slippery or wet areas, and they pack a toe guard that protects your feet while scrambling.

These lightweight hiking pants are great for every season. They have tons of storage pockets, a tie at the waist to keep them from falling down, and drawstrings at the ankles, which help keep out ticks and mosquitos. They're also a customer favorite, with an average 4.5 out of 5-star rating from nearly 8,000 reviewers.

These socks are super plush and comfortable without being too hot—and even if you do sweat in them, they are moisture-wicking, so your feet will still feel dry. They also have arch support, which not only feels good, but also keeps your sock from moving around on your foot.

Trekking poles are a great way to give you more stability as you hike and can help take some of the stress off your legs, as well. These trekking poles from TrailBuddy are adjustable and come in eight stylish colors, from basic black to bright pink. They also have cork handles that form to your hands over time, giving you a customized, comfortable fit.

There's nothing worse than running out of water mid-hike, but with the Sawyer Mini Water Filtration System, you can make any fresh water ready to drink in minutes. It filters out everything from sediment to bacteria from the water, and can be a real lifesaver in a pinch.
