Women's outdoor clothing: jackets, vests & merino shirts
For the morning climb, the break at the summit, and the descent afterward. Good women's outdoor clothing shouldn't just perform in perfect conditions. It should accompany you when movement, temperature, and weather change.
In the women's collection from Grüezi bag® you will find functional outdoor jackets, insulated vests, coats, skirts, merino T-shirts and long-sleeved shirts for hiking, trekking, bikepacking, cycling, climbing, camping, traveling and winter sports.
Depending on the product, we rely on different material concepts such as WoodWool, DownWool® and SilkWool . Instead of using one material for every application, the properties are combined to suit the respective activity.
This way you can choose your outdoor clothing based on what you actually intend to do – and not on which product sounds the most technical.

What women's outdoor clothing can you find at Grüezi bag®?
Outdoor clothing is particularly versatile when individual garments can be combined with each other.
A lightweight base layer for the ascent. A vest if it gets cooler. An insulated jacket for the summit or a break. And a warmer jacket or coat if the temperatures drop significantly.
That's why you'll find different product groups for different uses in our women's collection.
Outdoor jackets for women
A good women's insulated jacket should provide warmth while also being suitable for your activity.
Someone who exercises intensely needs different insulation than someone who takes longer breaks in low temperatures.
Therefore, different concepts such as DownWool® and SilkWool are used in Grüezi bag® depending on the model.
From lighter jackets for active tours to warmer models for cold days, you can choose your insulation to suit the temperature, activity and personal warmth preference.

Outdoor vests for women
An insulating vest is ideal if your upper body needs extra warmth, but you still want as much freedom of movement as possible.
It can be easily worn over a T-shirt or long-sleeved shirt and, depending on the model, can also fit under another outer layer.
This makes a women's vest particularly suitable for:
- Hiking
- cycling
- bikepacking
- Travel
- Transition times
- active outdoor days
Merino T-shirts for women
The WoodWool T-shirts for women combine 50% fine merino wool with 50% lyocell.
Merino wool supports temperature and moisture regulation and has odor-inhibiting properties. Lyocell complements the material with its pleasantly soft and smooth feel.
This results in a functional shirt that works well for hiking and trekking, but is also comfortable to wear when traveling and in everyday life.
Merino long-sleeved shirts for women
When it gets cooler or you want more coverage, a WoodWool longsleeve is the versatile alternative to a T-shirt.
Here too, 50% merino wool and 50% lyocell are combined.
Long sleeves make these shirts particularly interesting for:
- spring and autumn
- cooler summer days
- higher elevations
- Hut tours
- Travel
- changeable weather
- as the first layer in the clothing system

Outdoor coats for women
If you want more length and additional coverage, an insulating women's coat might be the right choice.
A coat is particularly interesting for cold days, travel, and situations where outdoor functionality needs to be combined with an everyday look.
Insulation skirts for women
An insulating skirt provides additional warmth in the hip and thigh area and, depending on the model, can be easily worn over leggings or outdoor trousers.
This can be particularly pleasant during breaks, on cold days, or during periods of less physical activity.
Women's outdoor clothing for hiking
Everything can change within a few hours when hiking.
It's cool in the morning. You warm up during the ascent. Wind picks up on the ridge. During breaks, the exertion decreases, and with it, often the feeling of warmth.
That's exactly why a flexible layering system is so practical.
During the ascent
A light and breathable base layer is advisable during intense exercise.
A WoodWool T-shirt or long-sleeved shirt supports temperature and moisture regulation and can be worn directly on the skin.
At the summit and during breaks
Your heat requirement changes as soon as you stop moving.
Now, an insulating vest or jacket can provide additional warmth.
When the weather changes
Depending on wind, precipitation and temperature, an additional suitable outer layer may be necessary.
Therefore, what matters is not just a single piece of clothing, but how well your layers work together.
The layering system for women: What do I wear when?
The so-called layering principle makes it possible to flexibly adapt clothing to weather and activity.
1st layer: Functional shirt directly against the skin
The first layer should feel comfortable on the skin and be able to handle moisture.
This is where the WoodWool shirts made from merino wool and lyocell come into play.

2nd layer: Insulation
Depending on the temperature and activity, you can wear a vest or jacket over it.
Lightweight vest
Ideal if your torso especially needs additional insulation and you want as much freedom of movement as possible.
Lightweight insulated jacket
A lightweight jacket is suitable for active tours, transitional seasons and changing temperatures.
Warmer insulated jacket
For low temperatures, winter sports, or longer breaks, a more insulating model may be the better choice.
3rd layer: Protection against wind and weather
Depending on the conditions, a wind- or weather-resistant outer layer complements your clothing system.
Which combination is right for you depends on activity, outside temperature, wind, precipitation and your personal perception of warmth.
WoodWool Shirts for Women: Merino Wool Meets Lyocell
WoodWool is the material combination used in our functional T-shirts and long-sleeved shirts.
The shirts consist of:
50% fine merino wool
50% Lyocell
Both fibers perform different tasks.
What are the benefits of merino wool?
Merino wool can absorb moisture and helps regulate temperature.
Furthermore, wool has odor-resistant properties. This is particularly practical on longer trips or journeys when a shirt shouldn't be washed immediately after every wear.
What are the benefits of lyocell?
Lyocell is an industrially produced, wood-based cellulose fiber.
In the WoodWool material, it ensures a particularly soft and smooth feel.
Why does Grüezi bag® combine merino wool and lyocell?
Because a functional shirt should not only perform well during exercise.
It should still be comfortable to wear even after many hours – on hikes as well as on trains, in campers or later while eating.
On tour
Merino wool supports temperature and moisture management.
To travel
The odor-inhibiting properties of wool can be particularly practical when you only have a small amount of spare clothing in your luggage.
And in everyday life?
That's exactly where WoodWool is designed to work. Because ultimately, the most comfortable performance shirt is the one you don't just wear when you're about to summit a mountain.
DownWool® women's jackets: Down meets wool
DownWool® combines down and wool within one insulation.
Down provides high thermal performance and loft at a comparatively low weight.
Wool complements down, particularly through its ability to absorb moisture and support climate control within the insulation.
This combination is particularly interesting when movement and rest periods follow one another.
When is a DownWool® jacket suitable for women?
Depending on the model, for example:
- Hiking
- Hiking
- bikepacking
- cycling
- Winter hiking
- Skiing
- cold breaks on the mountain
- Travel
- cold days in everyday life

SilkWool women's jackets & vests for active tours
SilkWool is used in selected Grüezi bag® jackets and vests.
This involves combining materials such as wool and silk in a lightweight insulation concept.
SilkWool is particularly interesting for activities where you move around a lot and are looking for light insulation.
When is SilkWool interesting?
- during intense exercise
- while hiking
- while cycling
- during trekking
- during the transition periods
- at milder temperatures
- to travel
Which insulation is better for you always depends on the activity, the weather, other layers of clothing and your personal perception of warmth.

Outdoor clothing for women for bikepacking & cycling
Something special happens when cycling: your body produces heat through movement, while the wind cools it down at the same time.
During a break, the situation changes again within a few minutes.
Therefore, a flexible layering system is particularly suitable here.
While driving
A breathable T-shirt or long-sleeved shirt forms a functional base.
In a cool breeze
A light vest or insulated jacket can provide additional heat retention.
During breaks
A readily available insulating layer helps to keep the body warm after exertion.
Especially when bikepacking, weight and pack size also play a role. Therefore, it's worthwhile to choose clothing items that can cover as many situations as possible.
Outdoor clothing for women for trekking
On a multi-day tour, every item of clothing has to justify its place in the backpack.
A shirt that is only suitable for the ascent but needs to be changed immediately in the evening requires additional luggage.
That's why layering is especially practical.
WoodWool as the first layer
Merino wool supports temperature and moisture regulation and has odor-inhibiting properties.
Vest or jacket as insulation
Depending on the season and tour, suitable insulation complements your clothing system.
More uses, fewer special parts
The more situations your clothing can sensibly cover, the fewer different items you need to take with you.
Women's outdoor clothing for winter
Winter hiking, skiing and cold days place higher demands on insulation.
Here, the coordination of the individual layers becomes particularly important.
Directly on the skin
A functional first layer supports moisture management.
About that
Depending on the model, a suitable insulated jacket provides additional warmth.
Outer layer
Depending on the activity and weather, an additional windproof or weatherproof layer may be necessary.
For low temperatures, you will find various DownWool® models with different insulation levels and constructions in the women's collection.
Women's outdoor clothing for travel, camping & van life
Traveling quickly reveals which garment is truly versatile.
It's cool in the camper in the morning. At midday you go for a hike. In the afternoon you continue your journey. In the evening you might want to walk through a town or go out for dinner.
If one shirt or jacket can cover as many of these situations as possible, you need to pack fewer different clothes.
That's precisely why we develop outdoor clothing not just for the moment on the mountain, but for the entire day before and after.
Outdoor functionality that doesn't just look outdoor
Technical features are important. But in the end, clothes are only worn often if you like how you look and feel in them.
That's why you'll find a variety of colors, cuts and designs in the women's collection – from functional merino shirts to insulating jackets or coats.
This way you can choose clothing that works on the tour and that you will also like to wear afterwards.
From the hiking trail to the café, from the camper to the city or from the bike directly to the next accommodation.
Which women's outdoor clothing suits me?
The best outdoor clothing is not automatically the warmest, lightest, or most technically sophisticated product.
It must be suitable for your role.
Was möchtest du machen?
Hiking, trekking, cycling, bikepacking, climbing, skiing, camping, traveling or everyday life?
How much are you moving?
Breathability and moisture management become particularly important during high levels of physical activity.
What temperatures are you traveling in?
A mild spring day requires a different type of insulation than a cold winter day.
What does your shift system look like?
Don't just think about which jacket you buy. It's also crucial what shirt you wear underneath and what weather protection layer you might wear over it.
How important are weight and pack size?
Compact and versatile clothing can be particularly practical for trekking, bikepacking and travel.
WoodWool T-shirt or long-sleeved shirt for women?
Both versions use the same WoodWool material. The main difference lies in the covering and therefore the preferred application.
WoodWool T-Shirt
Particularly suitable for:
- warmer days
- intensive exercise
- Summer hikes
- cycling
- bikepacking
- Travel
- Daily life
WoodWool Longsleeve
Particularly suitable for:
- cooler days

How to properly care for women's outdoor clothing
Proper care always depends on the material and the specific product.
WoodWool Shirts
WoodWool shirts are washed according to the respective care instructions using the wool cycle.
Wool clothing doesn't necessarily need to be washed after every wear. Often, thorough airing is sufficient.
DownWool® Jackets
For down and wool insulation, you should carefully follow the care instructions for the specific model.
Incorrect detergent or unsuitable drying can impair the properties of the insulation.
SilkWool jackets and vests
The product-specific care instructions also apply to SilkWool.
As a general rule, you should only wash functional insulating clothing when necessary, and always follow the care label instructions for cleaning and drying.
