Travel Collection

Pack Light and Move Far with the Women's Travel Collection
The women's pieces from the Travel Collection are built around one idea: gear that disappears into your day so you can pay attention to where you are. The series spans multiple divisions of KÜHL's catalog. This page is the women's slice: pants, shorts, shirts, hoodys, jackets, dresses, hats, and a full lineup of bags.
Choose from a variety of fabrics, styles, and features for the women's travel pieces that are right for you:
FREEFLEX™ Performance Fabric. Soft, lightweight, and built with 4-way stretch and rebound that holds form through long-haul wear. FREEFLEX™ is quick-dry, moisture-wicking, and finished with UPF 50+ sun protection, so a single piece carries from a humid layover to a long day on foreign trails without a wardrobe rotation.
Pants, Shorts, and Roll-Up Convertibles. The women's travel bottoms lean on softshell stretch and water-resistant finishes. Articulated knees, a gusseted crotch, and a DWR finish handle airport-to-trail transitions. Roll-up legs with snap closures convert a full pant to a capri without breaking stride.
Travel Shirts, Hoodys, and Jackets. Layerable, breathable, and packable. Look for moisture-wicking knits with thumb loops for cool flights and shaded hikes, plus light softshell layers that block wind and shrug off a passing shower, useful from a city sidewalk in shoulder season to a coastal headland in real wind. For warmer routes, the women's summer collection carries lighter companions.
Dresses, Hats, and Travel Bags. A travel dress earns its place when it crosses three settings in a single day. Wide-brim and packable hat styles round out sun coverage. Duffels, backpacks, and messengers in laminated, nylon-reinforced canvas carry up to 17-inch tech, with stow-away straps that convert a duffel to a backpack at the curb.
Look for signature touches like 4-way stretch with rebound, UPF 50+ protection, hidden security pockets, and thumb loops where it counts. For pieces tuned to hotter destinations, see the women's Cabo series. For everyday lifestyle layers that travel just as well, the women's Aktive collection is the natural companion.

Travel-ready women's pieces built for the long-haul day: FREEFLEX™ stretch, UPF 50+ sun protection, and packable design across pants, layers, dresses, and bags.

What is the Travel Collection?

The Travel Collection is a KÜHL series built for women whose travel asks one set of clothes to handle airports, sidewalks, and trails on the same day. It's defined by lightweight, stretchy performance fabrics with built-in sun protection and quick-dry recovery, paired with construction details (articulated knees, a gusseted crotch, hidden security pockets, thumb loops) that earn their place over long wear. The series spans multiple divisions across KÜHL's catalog. This page is the women's slice.

What pieces are in the Travel Collection?

The women's Travel Collection covers eight product types: pants, shorts, shirts, hoodys, jackets, dresses, hats, and bags. Bottoms include full-length travel pants, shorts, and roll-up convertibles that switch from pant to capri with a snap. Tops range from moisture-wicking shirts to hooded layers and light softshell jackets. Travel dresses and packable hats round out the warm-weather kit, and the bag lineup runs from compact messengers to 50L duffels with padded laptop compartments and stow-away backpack straps.

Who is the Travel Collection designed for?

The Travel Collection is for women whose travel mixes settings: a flight followed by a hike, a city day that ends on a coastal trail, a work trip with a free morning outdoors. The pieces favor packability and dual use over single-purpose specialization, so a pair of pants reads as polished enough for dinner and performs on a 10-mile day in between. Useful for shoulder-season trips, multi-stop itineraries, and anyone flying carry-on only.

What fabrics and construction details define the Travel Collection?

FREEFLEX™ is the anchor fabric: luxuriously soft, lightweight, and built with 4-way stretch and rebound that holds form through extended wear. It's quick-dry, moisture-wicking, and finished with UPF 50+ sun protection. Across the collection, expect a DWR finish on outerwear and select bottoms, ripstop and nylon-reinforced canvas on the bags, mesh ventilation where heat builds, and recurring signature details: articulated knees, a gusseted crotch, hidden security pockets, and thumb loops on layering pieces.

How does the Travel Collection compare to KÜHL's other series?

The Travel Collection prioritizes versatility and packability above everything else, where adjacent series push in narrower directions. The women's Flight series leans further into ultralight performance for active days, while denim- and lifestyle-led lines focus on everyday wear at home. Travel pieces sit in the middle: technical enough for a real hike, refined enough that the same shirt works at dinner, and packable enough that you don't have to choose between the two.

What weather and conditions does the Travel Collection handle best?

The Travel Collection is tuned for mild-to-warm conditions with the occasional shift: think mid-60s to high-80s, breezy coastlines, intermittent showers, and intense overhead sun on exposed routes. UPF 50+ fabrics and DWR finishes handle sun and light rain. Moisture-wicking and quick-dry properties manage humidity and sweat. 4-way stretch absorbs long sit-flights and long uphills alike. For deep winter or hard storm conditions, pair Travel Collection layers with heavier outerwear from a colder-weather line.
