Autumn weather keeps us indoors more and more, but with the right equipment, we can go hiking or touring on the gloomier days too! Let’s see what you need for joyful outdoor times!
Hiking's first and foremost gear is a good pair of boots, especially during the period of deeper, rain-soaked, slippery autumn terrain. The good pair of boots has a thick, strong but still flexible sole. It is comfortable to wear while supporting the feet and ankles properly. It's a good idea to break in the boots before a longer trekking trip, do not wear them too long for the first time.
Finding a comfortable pair of socks for your shoes is also important. You can choose a thicker one, if you tend to have cold feet. In this case however try your boots with the thicker type of socks to make sure they are comfortable enough!
A gaiter is a good idea in wet weather to protect your feet from moisture and keep you warm! If you are about to go on a longer trip, take a look around at MOM Park's Helly Hansen and Hervis stores, but stopping by CCC is also fine, if you'd rather look for a pair of fashionable boots for a smaller hike. Also, check out the warm sock selections at H&M and Calzedonia!
Once you got the right shoes, layered clothing should be the next to consider. Choose a breathable base layer that is good at wicking moisture. You can find technical accessories from unique materials among the hiking equipments, specially designed for more intense sports. If you are just planning lighter tour, choose a woolen base layer.
In the case of the middle layer, thermal insulation is the most important thing. Try to choose a sweater from a material that keeps heat well. Fleece suits are perfect fits for this, it is not a coincidence that the inner linings of the hiking jackets are usually made of this fabric.
If you are looking for the right fabric of fashionable undercoats and sweaters, head to Helly Hansen! The Scandinavian sailing brand also offers top-notch waterproof jackets for hikers! The jacket is almost as important as the shoes are, as it ensures that you don't get wet too quickly or be cold in stronger winds! Besides being waterproof, the jacket should also be breathable, so it is advisable to choose a higher quality piece that you can wear for years! You can find plenty of hiking jackets, as well as other accessories at Hervis! If you want help that you can always rely on, get super trekking poles! You will also find the right bag for the tour at this shop. Keep a cool water bottle in it, from Müller!
