For nearly 30 years Ex Officio has been making clothing designed specifically with the needs of adventure travelers in mind. From shirts and pants, to jackets and hats, with just about everything in between, the company has you covered from head to toe. Durable, versatile, and fashionable, Ex Officio apparel is built to take you comfortably to remote corners of the globe, or just around the corner to your favorite coffee shop.
Here are just a few items that every traveler should have in their wardrobe.
Ex Officio Underwear ($20-$45)
It may sound surprising to start a list of clothing for adventure travelers with underwear, but Ex Officio is well known for making some of the best travel underwear around. In fact, they are so good that you really only need to carry one or two pairs with you on any journey, allowing you to pack lighter and still stay feeling fresh.
Thats because these underwear use technical fabrics that are quick drying, wick away moisture, and are antimicrobial, which helps to keep odors at bay. Available in both tops and bottoms, in a wide variety of styles, for both men and women, personally wouldn't think about leaving home without them. Want further proof? The motto for this line of undergarments is "17 countries, 6 weeks, 1 pair of underwear." That should tell all you need to know.
Storm Logic Vest ($125)
Talk about versatile clothing, the Storm Logic Vest meets that description and than some. Designed to keep you warm, and repel moisture, this vest features seven individual pockets for keeping all of your important gear – including smartphone, tablet, and passport – close at hand.
But thats not all. It can also convert into a comfy travel pillow too, making those long flights, or bus and train rides, much easier to take. Ex Officio also offers a Storm Logic Jacket for those who want more full coverage.
Javano 1/4 Zip Pullover ($85)
Need an extra layer for a long flight or a night out on cool evening?
The Javano 1/4 Zip is perfect for those situations. Lightweight, every comfortable, and made from technical fabrics that can help keep you warm and dry, this is the type of product you throw in your backpack and forget its there until you actually need it. Than you'll be glad you have it along for the trip, as it performs well and looks great too.
Rain Logic Jacket ($180)
Looking for excellent protection from the rain? Ex Officio has you covered with the fantastic Rain Logic Jacket for both men and women. Waterproof, windproof, and breathable, this jacket protects you from the elements while also preventing you from overheating. It features a pack-away hood, and it includes four internal pockets – including one designed specifically for a smartphone – that will prevent bad weather from damaging your most important items too. Stylish enough to wear at home, but tough enough to survive life on the road, this is a fantastic rain jacket for any environment.
BugsAway Talisman Long Sleeve Shirt ($85)
One of Ex Officio's signature line of products is their BugsAway clothing for both men and women. The fabrics in these products have been treated with Insect Shield, which helps to repel mosquitos, ants, ticks, flies, and other annoying bugs that seem to swarm around us when we travel. The Talisman shirt is one of the premiere products in the BugsAway line, offering classic good looks in an article of clothing that is easy to care for and keep clean, even while traveling for days on end. Lightweight and breathable, this is a shirt that you'll want to take with you on all of your adventures.
SolCool Long Sleeve Tee ($60)
Another popular line of clothing from Ex Officio is their Sol Cool products, which use highly technical fabrics to protect from the sun, and keep the wearer cool at the same time. The men's SolCool Long Sleeve Tee provides excellent coverage, while wicking away moisture very quickly. It also has the ability to cool the body by up to five degrees, which may not seem like a lot, but it could come in handy when visiting warmer destinations.
Minimo Plaid Long Sleeve Shirt ($65)
If you'd prefer a shirt that doesn't look quite as technical as the SolCool, but still provides plenty of protection from the sun, than Ex Officio's Minimo might be in order. It offers UPF 50+ protection, while looking like a stylish shirt that you'd wear just about anywhere. Designed for travel though, the Minimo packs into its own pocket, making it easy to carry in your backpack. It also wick moisture away from the body, dries very quickly, and is a great garment for hiking the mountains or around town.
These are just a few of the great products from Ex Officio that I've been fortunate enough to test in my travels. I have come to appreciate these articles of clothing because they perform well, look great, and are versatile enough to take just about anywhere. As someone who like to travel light, those are all qualities that I look for in my gear.
With the holidays nearly upon us, any one of these products would make a great gift for the adventure traveler on your list. Or, if none of these items fit their needs, perhaps something else in the Ex Officio catalog will. Check out their entire line of travel apparel at ExOfficio.com.
