Gorpcore conquers us too - Hiking gear for everyday life

Gorpcore is a style movement that started in 2017 and draws its inspiration from hikers. It's all about comfortable and practical pieces that are perfect for an outing in nature. It includes pieces that are baggy, in natural colours and chunky - with brands like The North Face, Patagonia and Carhartt being the winning choices.

Since the pandemic, there is a growing need to spend more time outdoors for our physical and mental health. This has also played a part in the growing trend of Gorpcore, as its practicality and functionality has allowed style lovers to enjoy time outdoors in comfort and style.
A puffer jacket or vest with a zipper pulled out, a fleece sweater underneath with another layer peeking out from underneath - it's basic when it comes to Gorpcore. 

Gorpcore by Szputnyik shop

How did it get its name? Gorpcore refers to hiking or outdoor gear that is consciously transformed into everyday wear. Its name comes from "Good ol' Raisins and Peanuts", a colloquial expression used by hikers. Plush sweaters, nylon windbreakers, waterproof trousers and hiking backpacks are all items whose design and popularity have been revived and are making a huge splash on the street and on the catwalk today.

Many of the founding brands of the movement have now gone mainstream, but there are many that have not. Some brands are better known to hikers and campers than to fashion week visitors.

What does gorpcore look like? It sits outside the realms of normcore and techwear - but just on the edge enough to cause some confusion and discomfort. Normcore and techwear will never be confused with gorpcore, but the reverse is not necessarily true. Consider it the foundation of gorpcore - in terms of brands, pieces, philosophy and lineage.

The first thing you'll probably notice about gorpcore is the colours. They're all similar earth tones - brown, khaki, black, camouflage patterns - reflecting the style of traditional camping gear. Nike's revamped ACG range reinforces this - since the departure of techwear titan Errolson Hugh, the emphasis has been on earth tones and retro-inspired bright colours.

At the heart of gorpcore is the idea that nothing is more stylish than clothes that aren't actually stylish. Practical and functional clothing is the pinnacle, as these pieces have traditionally been designed for activities that require specialised clothing such as skiing, hiking, running and mountain biking.
