We understand that finding the right gear can be overwhelming, especially for those new to the world of hiking. From a wide range of hiking essentials for men, women and kids, backpacks to navigation tools and safety equipment, there are countless options to choose from. Welcome to the ultimate hiking shop.
One of the most important items for a hike is footwear. You want shoes that are durable, breathable, waterproof and supportive. Consider the type of hiking you plan to do and the terrain you will encounter. If you will be tackling steep, rocky trails, a sturdy pair of boots with ankle support is essential. For more casual hikes on well-maintained trails, a lighter-weight pair of hiking shoes may suffice.
Another essential item for hiking is trousers or shorts. You need hiking trousers that are lightweight, stretchy, quick-drying and sturdy. They also need to be comfortable and breathable. We have a variety of trousers and hiking shorts, including women's hiking trousers and men’s hiking trousers, as well as hiking shorts for men and women's hiking shorts. You can find them in different colours, patterns and lengths.
There are a few key factors to consider to find the perfect backpack. First, think about the length and type of your hikes. Longer hikes may require larger backpacks, while day hikes can be accommodated with smaller options. You also want to consider your body type and the fit of the backpack. Make sure to try on different styles to find the one that fits your body comfortably and evenly distributes weight. Another important consideration is the features of the backpack, such as pockets, hydration compatibility, and load lifters.
Backpacking packs are ideal for multi-day hikes due to their large capacity and sturdy frame, making them comfortable for carrying heavy loads. Day packs are lightweight and compact, making them suitable for carrying essentials on shorter hikes. Rucksacks are more rugged and durable than traditional backpacks, and they are suitable for carrying heavier loads while offering simple organisation. Active packs are designed for maximum mobility and breathability during physical activities like running. Finally, bumbags are convenient and easy to wear around the waist, making them ideal for carrying essentials like a phone or wallet on short hikes or runs.
When choosing the best walking and trekking poles, there are several factors to consider. First, it is essential to have a comfortable grip that provides a secure hold. Adjustable length is also critical, as it allows the poles to fit properly and provide the right amount of support for your height and the terrain you'll be trekking on. The weight of the poles is also a consideration, as it can affect your overall energy expenditure and fatigue level during a long hike. Some poles have built-in shock absorption to reduce the impact on your joints, which can be helpful if you have any knee or ankle issues. Ultimately, the best walking and trekking poles for you will depend on your personal preferences and needs, and it is a good idea to try out a few different options before making a final decision.
Staying hydrated and fueled throughout the hike is essential, so bring plenty of hydration and snacks. Wear sunscreen and protect yourself from harmful UV rays by wearing sunglasses and a hat. Lighting is also important, so bring a flashlight or headlamp with extra batteries.
