Let’s make it a work of art

Clothing is Crucial

What you wear is crucial to the outdoor activity you want to pursue. And our well-stocked clothing department with a huge selection for both men and women can outfit you from head to toe for wherever your next adventure takes you!

Technical Wear That Looks Great

The new generation of outdoor clothing isn’t just technical, though—it looks great, too. These are pieces you can wear walking to work or on your next multiday trip. And there are so many great-looking, well-designed and durable options to choose from now, from top brands like Patagonia, Smartwool, Kuhl, Outdoor Research, Arcteryx, Icebreaker, Devold, and Duer.

Don’t let anyone rain on your parade

One of the most useful pieces of outerwear you’ll ever own is a good rain shell. There are so many styles now from ultra-reliable Gore-Tex to a great-looking waterproof trenchcoat. Whatever you need—from fashionable to functional—we have what it takes to keep you dry.

Never be cold again…

Layering is another mandatory part of dressing for the ever-changing weather—and something that goes hand-in-hand with owning a good shell (outer layer). Consider having four layers always at your disposal: a base, mid and outer shell. This way you can add or subtract to adapt to the climate and the altitude.

Eat, sleep, merino, repeat.

Natural Merino wool is, in fact, a fantastic base layer with many great technical properties. It’s soft against skin (non-itch), wicks moisture, helps maintain core body temperature and doesn’t trap odours like synthetic fabrics. It also won’t shrink. We have an excellent selection of Merino Wool by Smartwool, Devoid and Icebreaker, both baselayer and apparel for your hiking and adventure travel needs.

Don’t sweat it

Have no fear, synthetic base layers are here! The smooth and stretchy feeling of these magical base layers will keep the moisture at bay while providing temperature regulation and sun protection. Everyone has their individual preferences so we’ll make sure to find you the perfect layers that are best suited to your needs.

Accessories

From head to toe.

At Robinson’s we’ve got you covered from head to toe with a vast selection of neck warmers, gloves, hats, and toques. Being cold can put a damper on your experience regardless of where you are so we make sure our gloves range from mountain style to simply walking around town. Whether you’re looking for a fashionable headband or a technical toque our staff will make sure your extremities are warm and cozy.
