Mud Season Luxe List

Welcome to the messy, magical, deeply underrated season we call Mud.

This time of year doesn’t come with an instruction manual. One day it’s sun-drenched and blooming, the next it’s back to sleet and slush. But if you ask any mountain-town local, they’ll tell you the same thing: mud season is the good stuff.

It’s porch coffee in the fog. Bonfires just because. Long drives with nowhere to be.

And the pieces you bring with you? They’ve gotta keep up.

This is our curated edit of mountain-minded brands, gear, and rituals for the season of the in-between. From locally made luxuries to trail-tested essentials, these are the items we’re reaching for while we reset, recharge, and wait for the trails to dry.

Bombas Calf Socks - Marled Chocolate

Treat your feet like they matter. 

Soft, snug, and chocolatey (yes, like the good kind). These Bombas feel like pulling on a good mood. Perfect for porch coffees, snow boot missions, or that sacred “shoes off” moment. Honestly? Your feet deserve this hug.

Suntory – Toki Whisky

A slow pour for slow days.

Bright and balanced with notes of green apple and white pepper, Toki is the sip that matches the season—subtle, a little wild, and best shared fireside. Keep it neat or mix with soda in your Serpa. Either way, you’ve earned this.

Nomadix Towel – Mud Cloth

Less towel, more sidekick.

This one’s with you for the wild stuff: trail dips, truck beds, steam sessions, and soggy dogs. Quick-drying, good-looking, and ready for whatever adventure you didn’t plan. Bonus: it always folds better than you do.

Xtratuf 6" Ankle Deck Boot – Chocolate Tan

Built for mud. Approved for Main Street.

Slip ‘em on and go—rain, slush, or just a suspiciously damp morning. They’re as reliable as your favorite flannel, and twice as waterproof. Tough enough for trout runs, good-looking enough for beer runs.

Nike Pegasus Trail 5 – Summit White

These shoes know things.

Like how to grip gravel, dodge puddles, and look intentionally muddy. Light on your feet and heavy on performance, the Peg Trail 5s are your secret weapon for turning “just out for a stroll” into a six-miler you brag about.

Coalatree – Evolution Hoodie

Mountain town staple. Coffee shop camouflage.

Made from recycled coffee grounds (really), this hoodie is a mud season MVP. Breathable, packable, and quietly rugged. Great for that weird  42-degrees-and-sprinkling type of day we somehow love.

Clearlight Sauna

Earn your exhale.

Because sweat isn’t just for the uphill. This infrared sauna brings serious post-play bliss—deep heat, deep breaths, and maybe a little deep thinking. It’s the best way to slow down without ever hitting pause.

Pendleton – Yakima Camp Throw

A classic. Like black coffee, or a good porch chair.

Wool warmth with muddy tones that make you want to build a fire—even if you don’t need one. Throw it over a bench, the tailgate, or your knees while the dog dries off.

Faherty – Legend Sweater Shirt

The perfect blend of trailhead and taproom.

Soft like a hug, warm like whiskey, and looks better slightly rumpled. Pair with jeans, a tote full of snacks, and a long dirt road. You’ve just described a perfect Saturday.

Pink Elephant - Roam Roast

Locally roasted, trailhead approved.

Dark, chocolatey, and perfect in a Serpa Tumbler. Whether you’re brewing trailside or back porch, this is the fuel for the muddy mornings and slow sunrises.

That’s a wrap on the Mud Season Luxe List—a handpicked curation of gear and goods we trust when the weather can’t make up its mind, and neither can we.

Here’s to the unglamorous beauty of muddy boots. To porch hangs and unexpected rituals. To warm drinks, good firewood, and gear that goes the distance—no matter how messy the road gets.

And if you’re the kind of person who looks forward to the seasons between the seasons, we think you’re gonna like what’s coming next.
