The Swiftwick VIBE ZERO Trail and Road Running Socks are designed to be exceptionally low-profile and streamlined for high-performance contexts while also providing a stellar amount of cushioning and support.
Built with Swiftwick’s signature Olefin fiber down the entirety of the footbed, these socks super effectively wick moisture and keep your feet dry and happy. A thin, flat knit upper is also integrated to improve ventilation and ensure you don’t overheat in there.

While bug spray that you apply onto your body is certainly helpful, insect repellents that contact your skin can smell nasty, leave behind residues, and worst of all, harm your body’s biology due to harmful ingredients – especially if you’re in a scenario in which you won’t be showering soon after applying, such as on camping trips.

A 24-ounce bottle can treat up to 8 garments, so you get a lot of bang for your buck here. The treatment is furthermore completely odor-free after drying, so it’s a suitable product for applying to hunting gear if you need to stay scentless in the field.
Perfect for safely navigating grassy trails during peak tick season, enduring mosquito-ridden wetlands on waterfowl hunts or kayak trips, or for keeping your apparel free of mites and chiggers on dusty campouts, this gear and clothing treatment from Sawyer will change the life of the outdoorswoman you’re shopping for. This goes double if the gal you’re thinking of hates creepy crawlies to begin with.
