This summer, many French people have taken up hiking. But to set out to discover the most beautiful landscapes, you must always be well equipped.
After a year of COVID-19 and confinement, many people need to clear their minds. And during the holidays, there is an activity that combines pleasure and discovery:hiking . In the Alps, in Ardèche or in Corsica, France is full of incredible places to discover. But if you're embarking on this extreme ride, make sure you're well-equipped depending on where you are. In addition to having enough water to last all day, it is necessary to have the appropriate clothing. If you don't know where to look, we're here to help with this selection from the Helly Hansen brand.
To go hiking, you have to be sure to have pants that will hold up. A piece that is comfortable and practical . Thanks to the Helly Hansen pants and their 5 pockets, you can store everything you need and above all, with their light fabric, you will have great freedom of movement. Perfect for climbing the highest peaks.
If you practice hiking in slightly cold regions, it is better to think of taking a piece that keeps you warm with you. This sweatshirt will be your best ally thanks to its semi-technical and breathable materials that will allow you to feel comfortable all day long. In addition, with its large hood, you will be sheltered if the rain unfortunately falls.
Obviously, for a successful hike, nothing better than a good t-shirt in which we can move freely and which prevents us from sweating. Made of recycled polyester jersey, this Helly Hansen modelwicks moisture and is stretchy , which facilitates movement.
Are you walking on the hiking trails and by chance you come across a nice little place to swim? Luckily you remembered to bring your swim shorts. For this kind of situation, Helly Hansen has of course thought of you with this piece. Very elastic, it will allow you to swim freely and thanks to its UPF 50+ protection , you will be protected from the harmful effects of the sun.
When hiking, you should never forget to cover your head. It would be dramatic to have sunstroke when you find yourself in an isolated place. So, if you go on an adventure, never forget to bring a cap to protect yourself. Thanks to Helly Hansen, you can bet on a stylish model whose material dries quickly . A detail that is very important!
Every good hiker knows that shoes are essential ! If you want to complete the ride, you have to choose the right model. And for that, we bet on TSUGA leather ankle boots. Rising, they have two soles. The first, located inside, is made of EVA, therefore lighter and more flexible than rubber, the one located outside has studs. With this, you are sure to be well in your pumps from start to finish. Bonus:the retro style that we love and which can also be found in women's models.
Finally, the last essential accessory of a hike remains the backpack. Just like shoes, it is essential to try on all models to find the one that will best suit your back. If you opt for long journeys, we recommend the Resistor Backpack with a capacity of 45 liters made in Helly Hansen. It is fully adjustable and includes a security pocket with a key fob as well as a sternum strap whistle.
Of course, for shorter trips, the brand offers more suitable models that will please both men and women. A safe bet:the Oslo Backpack. It can accompany you both for short walks or for your everyday life .
With that, you have enough to select the best equipment for a top hike.
