Currently, Im traveling aroundGraubunden, Switzerlands breathtaking canton boasting more than 900 mountain summits.
Instead, Ive been sporting head-to-toe gear from Lululemon specifically from the brand’s lesser-knownLululemon Hike collection.
In addition to durability, these drawstring pants get points for their packability, too.

Ive owned this tank in several colors over the years.
I also love the lightweight mesh that doesnt stick to me even when I sweat.
I also love that its water-repellent.

I recently hiked to some ice caves.
Despite getting dripped on by dozens of stalactites, all my precious cargo stayed bone dry.
Unlike the regular athletic shorts he used to hike in, these are made for the elements.

The fabric is water-resistant, abrasion-resistant, and windproof.
The difference is in the details.
The mesh chest pocket is a nice touch, too.
