Grab your sunscreen, pull on your shorts, and get ready to dive in - summer is almost here! It's time to embrace the outdoors and start gearing up for the sunny days ahead.
Staying active during those long, summer days can be a challenge and while a beach tan is tempting, it's important that we keep active during the warm weather. Never fear… O’Neills to the rescue! We’ve rounded up six fun ways to keep moving, along with stylish tips to rock your O'Neills gear, so you’ll look and feel your best for every activity.
Let’s make this summer one for the books!
1. Beach Volleyball
Soak up the sun and enjoy the sand with a game of beach volleyball! This high-energy sport is a fantastic workout, building strength and improving agility. Staying ventilated and cool is vital to keep your energy up throughout the game.
The Women’s Recharge Cotton Vest Top is made from our buttery soft cotton which is both lightweight and breathable to keep you comfortable in the heat. Pair this with our Women's Skylar Sports Shorts and a generous layer of sunscreen - you are ready to go!
For your teammate, the Men’s Viper Training Shorts and Men’s Venom T-Shirt are the perfect combo. Both items are made with sweat-wicking technology that draws moisture away from the skin so that they stay cool and fresh while giving their all on the sand. This duo has a flexible, durable outer to support peak performance and endless fun under the sun!
2. Hiking Trails
Stepping into the great outdoors is a refreshing way to escape the daily grind, breathe in the fresh air and soak up some much-needed vitamin D. Hiking is a fantastic endurance exercise that not only boosts your fitness but isalso known to enhance blood circulation and elevate your mood - calming both mind and body.
Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned hiker, dressing smart is essential. With heat and fatigue likely to raise your heart rate, staying comfortable and layering to adapt to changing temperatures ensures an enjoyable experience every step of the way.
Start with Women’s Riley High-Waisted Leggings, crafted from 4-way stretch fabric to support your every move, whether it’s hopping over puddles or scaling rocky terrain. These leggings wick sweat away, providing lasting comfort on long trails. Pair them with your favourite from the Women’s Skylar T-Shirt range that comes in bold colours like coral, purple, marine, or green for a vibrant pop that will make you stand out. For those chilly mornings, layer up with the O’Neills Women’s Recharge Fleece Pullover Hoodie to keep cozy.
Don’t forget a Rival Baseball Cap for that added touch of style and sun protection during your hike.
These selections are just a glimpse of our extensive O’Neills activewear range, designed to support you every step of the way on those adventurous climbs.
3. Cycling by the Coast
Looking for a fun way to bond with your kids this summer? A scenic bike ride along the coast could be the perfect family activity. Not only is it a low-impact cardio workout, but it also gives you a chance to chat, laugh, and create memories as you pedal along the beautiful coastline.
We can help you build the perfect wardrobe for those summer bike rides. Our collection includes lightweight shorts, versatile polos, and breathable tees to keep you comfortable throughout your ride while looking polished if you fancy a beach café stop.
For men, the Phantom Shorts combined with the Venture Pima Cotton Polo offers a relaxed yet sophisticated look. The Phantom Shorts are designed to withstand active use, with a lightweight feel that’s perfect for pedalling. The Venture Polo adds a touch of elegance with its soft, premium Pima cotton fabric.
For the kids, our Kids' Jaden Range offers both style and functionality. Pair the Jaden Brushed Skinny Pants with the Jaden T-Shirt for optimal comfort and mobility. The Jaden tee has sweat-wicking and quick-drying properties that are ideal for young ones who are constantly on the move. Meanwhile, the Brushed Skinny Pants are designed with two convenient pockets, ideal for carrying small essentials on longer bike rides.
For warmer days, the Kids' Havana Shorts provide a breathable, relaxed fit to keep them cool and energetic throughout the ride.
4. Yoga in the Park
Rejuvenate with a calming yoga session outdoors. Practicing yoga in nature is both grounding and refreshing, helping to build strength and flexibility.
For women, the Women’s Riley Full-Length Leggings are designed to feel and move like a second skin, crafted from a high-stretch fabric that’s both durable and breathable. Pair with the Women’s Skylar T-Shirt, for the perfect blend of style and comfort for those stretches and poses. This combo is perfect for Yoga in the Park, where ease of movement and comfort are essential.
The Men’s Adapt T-shirt features moisture management properties to keep you cool and calm throughout your session. Style it with either the Men’s Aero Skinny Sweatpants or Men's Pro Body Shorts, both designed to provide a breathable, supportive fit. These options offer flexibility, ensuring you stay comfortable and focused on your practice, no matter the intensity.
5. Swimming or Paddleboarding
Cool off in the water with some swimming or paddleboarding. Perfect for improving core strength, paddleboarding adds a bit of adventure to your summer while helping you stay fit.
The O’Neills Men’s Bay Swim Shorts, designed with a smooth and lightweight fabric, are built for this activity. The fabric dries quickly, making it ideal for busy days in and out of the water, complemented by a breathable inner mesh lining for added comfort. These shorts bring a splash of bold style with vibrant shades of blue, yellow, and green.
The O'Neills Men's Venom T-Shirt is a versatile staple, perfect for active days under the sun. Its relaxed fit provides maximum comfort, allowing you to move freely. Like the shorts, this tee's quick-drying fabric keeps you cool and fresh, even in warm weather.
6. Outdoor Running
Take advantage of the long summer days by heading out for an early morning or late evening run enjoying a breath of fresh air after a busy day. Running outside helps build endurance, and the changing scenery makes it a much more engaging experience than the treadmill.
Ladies, it’s time to shine! Our women’s shorts collection brings together style, comfort, and elegance, empowering you to tackle any workout with confidence. The Women’s Skylar Shorts offer a neutral black design with a pop of colour that pairs effortlessly with any look, making it a versatile go-to for both casual and active wear. If you’re looking to add a bit of flair, the Women’s Paris Shorts come in a chic patterned design, perfect for those fun runs with friends where you want to look and feel your best.
Pair your pick with the Women’s Skylar T-Shirt for a light, breathable setup that keeps you feeling fresh from the starting line to the finish. With this sporty look, you're not only ready for a quick run but also look effortlessly stylish enough for a coffee date afterward!
For the gentlemen, match up with the Men’s Sydney Shorts for a coordinated look with your partner! Pair them with the Men's Adapt T-Shirt, which offers a relaxed fit for comfort. For crisp mornings, the Men’s Bryson Pullover Hoodie is the perfect choice as it is crafted from soft fleece which will keep you cozy throughout.
With these six activities, you can stay active, enjoy the summer, and make the most of O'Neills' versatile activewear collection. Whether you’re hitting the trails, relaxing on the beach, or going for a run, O'Neills has the perfect gear to keep you trendy and productive all season long.
