Whether you’re a beginner or fellow long-time hiker, I’ve got you covered with the best hiking clothes, shoes, and accessories in 2025.
Having an adventure blog and hiking across the country has made it so I’ve been able to test out a lot of men’s hiking clothes and gear in all terrains and conditions.
Don’t worry, not everything below is going to break the bank. I also have great budget options that I will share with you. And, none of this gear contains paid reviews.

Hiking Clothes for Men
I’ve narrowed it down to the best of the best, and listed out best hiking gear by each category.
Men’s Hiking Jackets
I like having one lightweight rain jacket and one down jacket for hiking since I usually don’t need the much warmth during rainy seasons.
Men’s Hiking Shirts

Men’s Hiking Shorts
Hiking Hats
While your regular, everyday ball cap will be better than nothing, having a hat that has a wicking sweatband, wider brim to shade more of the sun, and vents for added airflow make a major difference in comfort.

Men’s Hiking Shoes
From water hiking shoes to trail runners, here are my top picks for men’s hiking shoes.
Hiking Sandals
Trail Runners
Trail shoes are the most comfortable of all hiking shoes since they are very similar to tennis shoes with added traction.
