OUTDOOR CLOTHING:
THE BEST OUTFITS FOR HIKING
Our brand-new Trek range has everything you need for outdoor adventures from trousers and anoraks to hiking boots and rucksacks.
The best clothes to wear hiking
Fancy heading off on an outdoor adventure? Whatever the season, whether you’re a novice or a seasoned walker, wearing the right clothes is essential if you’re planning to go hiking. Our new Trek collection (part of our Goodmove activewear range) has everything you need for keeping comfortable on the move. If you’re hiking in summer, choose a pair of cargo-style shorts made from cotton-rich rain-repellent fabric, with large pockets for practicality and an active waistband for greater freedom of movement.
Another key consideration is to take a rucksack to stash all your hydration essentials, keeping your hands free. This green rucksack is not only made with water-resistant fabric but has a padded back and straps for greater comfort however far you’re planning to travel.
The best hiking trousers
If the weather is more changeable, or you’re planning to walk or hike in the autumn or winter, you’ll need to invest in a pair of sturdy trekking trousers. Our zip-off hiking trousers are a winning choice whatever the season. Not only are they made from a water-repellent fabric that’ll keep you dry in wet weather, but they also have a clever zip-off design that instantly transform them into a pair of shorts.
With other clever and useful features such as a large cargo-style pocket, durable ripstop fabric and a waistband that moves as you do, they’re a must-buy for every outdoor adventurer.
Hiking boots and accessories
So, what other clothing items are essential for going hiking? A pair of comfortable and supportive walking boots are key to give your feet and ankles the protection they need on rough terrain. Our waterproof walking boots have cleated, grippy soles for stability and are designed with a padded ankle collar for added support. With Insolia Flex technology for comfort, they also have antibacterial padding to keep your feet feeling fresh, no matter how many miles you’ve walked that day.
Don’t forget to pack a zip-up anorak for layering over in unpredictable weather. However sunny and dry the day seems when you first start out, the UK weather can often change quite rapidly, so it’s best to be prepared.
