Wild Rye – Elorie Overalls

Ladies of Montana are no strangers to overalls. With that said, it can feel impossible to find a pair just as fashionable as they are functional—and forget about being comfortable! There’s nothing worse than sticky clothes and a wedgie distracting you from a beautiful weekend hike. Maybe you’re used to it, but with the Elorie Technical Overalls, you don’t have to be. They have excellent mobility that doesn’t restrict uphill climbing, and the soft fabric flows with every movement. Plus, the bio-based nylon dries quickly after creek crossings or an afternoon rainstorm. In terms of looks, they can also be dressed up or down—it’s not too often that a hiking outfit is also acceptable at a dinner downtown. Furthermore, by unhooking the buttons for a little extra airflow (or by suiting up for additional warmth), they can be worn through any season. Oh—and did I mention pockets? It’s rare to have the material support to carry snacks, an extra water pouch, and bear spray without feeling weighed down. There’s even a secret pocket for those damn keys I always lose. Available in two colors at wild-rye.com; $169.
