Frequently Asked Questions
How to dress for a hike?
Adopt the three-layer system: a breathable base layer close to the skin, an insulating mid-layer (fleece or down jacket), and a protective outer layer that's windproof and waterproof. You adjust by adding or removing a layer depending on your effort level and the weather.
Which fabric should you choose for a hiking garment?
Breathable, sweat-wicking technical synthetic fabrics, rather than cotton that stays damp. Fleece for insulation, a waterproof-breathable membrane for the rain: each layer has its own job to do.
How to dress for winter hiking?
Boost your insulating layer with a down jacket or a thick fleece, shield yourself from wind and rain with a proper jacket, and don't forget a hat and gloves. Layering remains the key to regulating your body heat.
Do men and women need different clothing?
The cuts are tailored to suit every body shape for comfort and freedom of movement, but the principles stay the same: technical fabrics and a layering system. Choose the fit that suits you best.
