Lousy Outdoors is for the ones who get sunburned before mile two, complain the whole way up, and somehow still show up next time.

We believe the outdoors is beautiful and sometimes the worst. If that sounds like you, you're in the right place.

Bonus: Every 100 shirts we sell, our kid has agreed to go on a hike. He hasn't agreed to enjoy it. It's called parenting. You're helping.

Vistas Hoodies

The world is full of “inspiring” views that mostly just inspire blisters, bug bites, and bad attitudes. The Vistas Collection celebrates those moments with hoodies and tees that keep you comfortable while you question why you ever left the couch. These pieces are for the people who see a scenic overlook and think, “Yep, still trees.” Wear them as proof that you showed up, sweated through it, and decided comfort matters as much as the view.

Performance Optional Dry Fit Fabric

You don’t have to break records to break a sweat. This gear’s built for whatever “performance” means to you — whether that’s hiking half a mile before turning back, or sitting on a log pretending you’re pacing yourself. Lightweight, breathable, and quick-drying, it’s perfect for looking like you know what you’re doing… even if the only thing you’re performing is heavy breathing and wheezing.



Celebrate trying over triumph.

About us

Lousy Outdoors started with one kid who hated hiking and a family who kept dragging him along anyway. Somewhere between the loud complaining and the choice words, we realized there had to be more people like us: folks who's relationship with the outdoors is "complicated".
