It's starting to get hot throughout much of the country, so we've had to take matters into our own hands: We've started raking through our closets to find clothing lightweight enough to comfortably work out in without worrying about overheating. If your closet, like ours, doesn't have as much warm-weather apparel as you thought, we have good news: Lululemon just dropped some new lightweight clothes into their men's hiking collection. The new pieces include shorts, shirts, pants, and even a hiking-ready rain jacket to accompany you on your hikes as you cross-train this spring or summer.
If you're looking to add some of these pieces to your wardrobe, though, we recommend not waiting, as one of the pieces already appears to be pretty picked over at the time of writing. So with that, scroll on to see the new additions to Lululemon's men's hiking collection.
Available in four colors, this hiking shirt is airy and breathable with a slightly loose fit so you don't feel bogged down with sweat. It also utilizes the brand's anti-odor technology to help keep your shirt smelling fresh, even if you're working hard. Plus, the pocket on the chest gives the shirt enough style that you could wear it beyond your workouts.
From its button-down closure to its two pockets that can easily store snacks and essentials, this overshirt combines stylish details with functionality. It's loose enough to layer over a T-shirt or tank yet light enough that it won't weigh you down. Plus, it comes in two colors and is water-repellent, so you can take on sweat and/or rain with no problems.
These hiking pants are selling fast, so if you want a pair and see your size available, we recommend going for it! Though some reviewers mentioned you could definitely wear these beyond your hikes, these pants are roomy, are water- and abrasion-resistant, and have five pockets, including two zippered ones on the back. Many reviewers like them, with a few saying they plan to — or already did — buy a second pair.
Available in black and pink, this vest is particularly nice for rainy days that can turn a little chilly. It's not fazed by wind or water, which is great for when you find yourself on a stormy spring hike. Plus, it has two pockets in the front that you can zip up to protect your belongings if/when it starts drizzling.
With six color options to choose from, these hiking shorts can help show off your personality while you forge ahead on the trails. They're water-repellent, fit comfortably, and have pockets on either side. They also travel well, one reviewer noted, saying that they "pack up very small and clean very easily."
For days when your planned hike ends up being pretty rainy, this waterproof hiking jacket is a must-have. It packs quite a few pockets to help keep your things safe from the conditions and has a hood and high collar to help protect you from the conditions. Wear it in classic black, or choose neon green for a fun pop of color.
