    AKHG Apparel

    Alaskan Hard Gear (AKHG) is built for outdoor adventures like hiking, fishing, and camping, but doesn’t sacrifice style or comfort. The brand is under the umbrella of Duluth Trading, which makes durable, functional workwear.

    The Women’s AKHG Outer Limit Dress is perfect for anything from a coffee run to a summer hike. Unlike many athletic dresses, it has pockets and enough wiggle room to be comfortable during outdoor adventures. The Outer Limit Dress does run big: those smaller than a size 4 may need to embrace a roomier fit. The Outer Limit Hybrid Jacket is one of the best transitional activewear jackets. It is lightweight but also warm and waterproof, perfect for variable weather.

    AKHG Apparel is for the outdoorsy types who don’t want to sacrifice style on the trails.

    Stance Apparel

    Stance is a California-based apparel and accessories brand known for its socks. The apparel is soft and thick but sweat-resistant, perfect for when temperatures drop in the evenings or on cooler summer days. The socks are some of the best on the market, with compression in all the right places to support the foot, but loose enough for breathability.

    Stance’s leggings and tops are similarly well-crafted, with supportive fabrics and thoughtful designs. Stance apparel is perfect for yoga, weekend wear, or day hikes, and its socks will likely be the pair you reach for again and again for all occasions.

    Fanka

    If you’re looking for high-quality compression-focused activewear, Fanka will have you covered. The brand is functional but comfortable, providing flattering compression wear that can also withstand a sweaty workout. The Body Sculpt line includes reversible leggings, sports bras, biker shorts, and a dress that all come in a four-watch stretch fabric with 3D-printed designs for contouring and lift technology.

    Little details throughout make Fanka pieces particularly flattering and comfortable, like well-placed support bands and waistbands. The pieces also come in fun colors for spring and summer and can be combined in fun variations for different workout outfits.

    Fabletics

    Fabletics is a favorite for great activewear that doesn’t break the bank. The brand’s new Run Collection is designed for everything from long-distance runs to the track. The Unisex Packable Jacket is water-resistant and foldable into a compact size. However, it can protect runners from light rain and wind while providing necessary breathability during tough workouts. The Run Collection also features items for runs at all times of day, including the Perforated Run Short for women, which has a 360 reflective lining for nighttime workouts.

    The O2 Tee and the O2 Tank for men are made of weightless, ultra-light mesh fabric for summer’s hottest days. Fabletics members get steep discounts on apparel, for those who really need to build out their workout wardrobe.
