The GOVX Apparel Guide to Unpredictable Weather
Versatility is valuable.
By Devin Pangaro – October 14, 2024
Depending on where you live geographically, the fall months can be a little weird weather-wise. One minute you’re basking in the afternoon sun, firing up the BBQ, and enjoying a little bit of peace while it’s still pleasant outside. The next, you’re slapping a beanie on and bracing for the brisk arrival of rainclouds.
To properly prepare for anything the ever-changing forecast has in store for you, you’re going to have to reach for some healthy alternatives to the hoodie and shorts ensemble.
Here’s THE HIT LIST:
Columbia Unisex PFG Ball Cap
Hats can be complicated. They keep the sun out of your eyes, but they also tend to overheat your head. Columbia puts a stop to the great hat dilemma by delivering a superior everyday cap for activity-driven Americans.
Built from premium mesh for maximum breathability and featuring a Flexfit® band for unmatched comfort, it’s the push necessary to put your baseball fitteds back in storage until next spring.
prAna Men’s Brion Pants
Get yourself a pair that can do everything – like these. Laced with UPF 50+ sun protection in multiple in-seams, a water-repellant finish, and quick dry technology, our apparel experts consider these to be the most weather-ready GOVX has ever offered.
Proof that quality is all about what your clothing is capable of. These are just the ticket for those who demand more out of their wardrobe. Comfortably wear 'em on the job or out in the wild.
Ariat Men’s Vernon 2.0
Softshell Vest
Contray to popular belief, you don’t have to be a Silicon Valley VC to make a vest truly work. Ariat, the creator of iconic cowboy boots and rodeo-ready jeans, has constructed a new fall favorite for cold mornings and work commutes.
Wind and water-resistant, yet shockingly breathable, this one avoids the bulky pratfalls of lesser-built counterparts, while still looking damn good when layered on top of a long-sleeve fleece or tee.
Under Armour Men’s
Freedom Windbreaker
There’s some classically satisfying about a good windbreaker. Besides the aesthetics, it’s hard to fathom a more practical piece of gear for inclement conditions. For his entry, Under Armour outdid themselves by engineering a sleek, powerful jacket constructed with wind-resistant materials and infused with UA Storm technology.
Easy to move in and impressively durable, the 3-panel hood arrives adjustable and the left sleeve features the UA Freedom-branded American flag graphic.
Allbirds Men’s Wool
Runner Mizzles
Ever had the misfortune of getting stuck out in the rain in shoes that flood easy and lack traction? I’m not going to sugarcoat it, it sucks.
That’s why it’s essential to enlist a pair that’s ready for everything from sprinkles to steady downpours. Grippy even when things get slippery, this Allbirds addition is engineered with a bio-based water repellant shield that helps keep your feet warm and dry no matter how wet it gets.

You don’t claim the title of the brand’s Most Versatile Sock without getting out there and earning it.
All monikers aside, this sock is revered amongst hikers and servicemembers for its blister-free support, all-conditions comfortability, and warmth when the temperatures fall. Slip ‘em on with complete confidence.
Olukai Women’s Hā’upu Shoes
As far as GOVX top sellers go, Olukai is about as consistent as it gets. This pair comes casually correct by embracing the retro feels without compromising the comfort levels.
