“If you’re like us, you can’t sit still for long and live for outdoor adventure” reads one of the slogans from “Kuhl,” an outdoor apparel company that promotes all things in the mountain culture. “Kuhl”, means “cool” in Scandanavian or “fun” and “free thinker” in English. Their Fall Women’s line exhibits all of these characteristics and more.
Women’s Parashirt
This lightweight, ripstop jacket is incredibly versatile. It is waterproof and breathable. I took this on a backpacking trip and it took up no room at all once packed in the pouch that it comes with. Additionally, I have used this jacket hiking and mountain biking. The stretch side panels make for a sleek fit that allows you to move easily. This jacket makes for a great 3 season layer for all outdoor pursuits.
Anna Hoody
This Italian wool blended hoody makes for a great warm layer on cold days and is perfect for dressing up a pair of jeans or throwing on with your favorite yoga pants. I really enjoyed the flared neckline and fleece lined hoody. It fits true to size and is easy to wash considering the mix of fabrics. Adorned with large buttons, and a cute front pocket, this is certainly not your average hoody.
If you are looking for a skirt to wear with a pair of dress boots on a Friday night or a pair of hiking boots on a Sunday afternoon, this is the skirt for you. I have dressed this skirt up for work and wore it with a pair of long johns underneath while hiking through the snow. As a hiking skirt, it moves well and give you plenty of room for large strides. The sides cinch up to help with this as well. The skirt has a lot of stretch in it due to Kuhl’s patented “WUNDURA” fabric, a mix of cotton and lycra. This skirt also boasts 4 pockets, leaving space for you to bring along your phone, a granola bar or any other essentials you may want with you.
Cool, fun, free thinking or outdoor adventure; whichever adjective you choose, the Kuhl Fall line of women’s clothing certainly exhibits all of these qualities that the term “Khul” stands for. Although I could add the words versatile, cute, warm and functional as other adjectives.
