Stay cool on the trail with the Hobby Hill Farm’s Cooling Vest. The vest’s nontoxic Hydroweave fabric uses a special mix of water-attracting and water-repellent fibers to draw heat away from your body and disperse it through evaporation, while you stay dry. A quilted outer layer provides durability and protection, while the moisture-wicking nylon lining adds comfort. Activate the vest by soaking it in water; it’ll last up to six hours. Reactivate the vest in any creek. Available for men, women, and children, in EZ Over (hook-and-loop wrap) and Zip-Up styles.

Cost: $60 (EZ Over); $69 (Zip-Up).
