Outdoor Icons
Last Updated on August 19, 2026 by Editorial Team
A free set of 21 outdoor icons for Sketch App. Designed and shared by Vincent Tantardini. Enjoy!
Every icon in this set shares the same light hand: thin, rounded strokes in a soft sky blue, drawn with just enough consistency that they read as one family even though the subject matter ranges from a compass to a beanie to a pocket knife.
Nothing here is filled or heavy. The linework stays a uniform weight throughout, corners are gently rounded rather than sharp, and each icon sits comfortably inside its own invisible square, which is why they line up so cleanly in a grid.
That restraint is what makes the set useful. Because the icons are outlined rather than solid, they stay legible at small sizes without turning into blobs, and they sit quietly on a page instead of shouting for attention.
The subject matter itself tells you exactly where this set belongs. A map, compass, flashlight, axe, folding knife, tent stake, tree, mushroom, water droplet, wind lines, snowflake, sun, moon, and globe cover most of what a camping, hiking, or outdoor gear brand would ever need to illustrate.
That makes this pack a natural fit for a hiking blog, a camping gear shop, a national park or trail app, a weather widget, or any travel and adventure product that needs quick visual shorthand for things like elevation, temperature, terrain, or packing lists.
It also works well outside strictly outdoorsy contexts. A survival or emergency-prep app could use the knife, flashlight, and water drop.
A seasonal landing page could pull just the snowflake, sun, and wind icons to represent weather conditions without needing a full illustration set.
Adapting the Icons to Your Project
Because every shape is built from open strokes rather than filled paths, restyling is straightforward in any vector editor.
Select a path and change the stroke color to match your brand palette; a forest green or warm orange would push these away from the default blue and toward a more rustic, trail-guide feel.
Adjusting stroke weight is another easy win. Thickening the lines slightly makes the icons feel bolder and more confident for use as standalone app icons or button graphics, while thinning them further suits dense infographics or small inline text icons.
If you need filled versions for a different visual style, most editors let you convert a stroke to a filled shape in one step, which is handy if you later want flat, solid icons for a badge or sticker treatment.
Keep an eye on stroke alignment when resizing. Since the whole appeal of this set is its evenness, scaling icons non-uniformly or mixing them with icons from another family will break that consistency quickly, so it is worth locking proportions and picking companion icons with a similarly light stroke weight if you expand the set yourself.
Pair these with a rounded, friendly sans-serif for headings and body copy, since the soft corners on the icons echo that same approachable geometry, and a muted, earthy color palette will let the outdoor subject matter carry the design without any single icon needing to compete for attention.
