Autumn usually offers perfect conditions for a hike. However, the weather is more unpredictable, so it's important to ensure you have hiking clothes that suit all weather conditions. Poor clothing can often ruin the outdoor experience, so choosing the right clothes is essential.

 

The three-layer principle

To stay warm during hikes, it is important to dress in multiple layers. It is recommended to wear several thin layers instead of a few thick garments. This way, you can easily remove layers bit by bit as you get warmer. During physical activity, the body experiences temperature changes, so having the option to adjust your clothing accordingly is beneficial. The three-layer principle means wearing a base layer, a mid layer, and an outer layer when hiking.

Here are our recommendations for dressing according to the principle for the perfect hike:

 

The perfect wool base layers

The practical use of wool base layers means they work both on hikes and at home, with their main function being to keep you warm and dry.

Accessories

When you are out hiking, it is important to keep your head warm. A headwear that retains warmth is crucial so that your hiking experience isn't ruined. A cold head often leads to a cold body, and a cold body leads to a bad hike. Headbands are optimal on days that aren’t very cold. A warm beanie is the smartest choice on colder days.

A pair of wool socks and winter gloves are also essential to keep warm on hikes. Additionally, a pair of sports glasses for women will be an important contributor to an optimal hike. Cool sports glasses that fit well are significant when hiking in various terrains. Fast glasses make you look sporty, and isn’t that what you really want?
