Women’s Mountaintop Worthy Hiking Tops

Chasing summits this summer? Stay warm, wick moisture and move freely with three of Active Junky’s favorite tops.

ExOfficio Zama Tank Top: Freedom in a Tank

ExOfficio Zama Tank Top

What’s not to love about this tie-dye tank? Body skimming, soft and wrinkle-resistant fabric makes this top at home on a hike (and just about anywhere else). Its quick-drying capabilities keep Zama in the running for steep climbs and other sweaty endeavors. Contrasting front and back fabrics make for an interesting view no matter which way you’re headed on the trail.

Best For: Hot hikes.

Mountain Hardwear Pandra Hoodie Shirt: An Indecisive Dresser’s Dream

Mountain Hardwear Pandra Hoodie Shirt

On days with questionable weather forecasts, the Pandra Hoodie Shirt is perfection. A blend of soft wool, this shirt is the ultimate layering piece – one complete with a hood for coverage and cropped sleeves for an unrestricted range of motion. Equipped with Dri-Release with FreshGuard, this Mountain Hardwear essential will also keep you dry (pair with a rain shell for a solid summer setup) and stink-free—no matter how many days on the trail sans shower.

Best For: Layer days.

Icebreaker GT200 Chase Top: Vital Coverage

Icebreaker GT200 Chase Top

There’s nothing quite like this Icebreaker Top to stay nice and toasty as the incline increases and the temperature plummets. Made from merino wool, the GT200 Top naturally regulates body temperature and wicks moisture all without retaining any odors. Handy thumbholes help arms stay covered while the high neck zip offers extra protection. The Chase Top isn’t just for day-hikes—reflective linings and zips keep you visible when the daylight fades.

Best For: Snowy summits.
