The choice of mountain clothing is one of the first aspects to take into account when deciding to practice outdoor activities. It is specially designed so that the wearer can withstand the inclement weather that he\/she has to face in his\/her activity. Choose comfortable clothing that allows free movement and provides technical performance, putting this before any aesthetic features. It is true that nowadays clothes for hiking or mountaineering tend to be more colourful and more in line with current fashion criteria, but put the technical characteristics before any other aesthetic criteria -you will be grateful-. The climatic factors<\/a> are one of the determining factors in deciding the model and type of fabric of the clothing to wear. First of all, you must know the place where you are going to go: terrain, climate, time of year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When it comes to T-shirts or tops, there are many types of lightweight fabrics and thermal layers. Consideration of the type of weather and the type of activity are very important in order to choose these garments, because depending on the type of weather you will need more than one shirt and jacket to keep away moisture and store body heat. We will overlap different layers of clothing, the so called three-layer method (see article)<\/strong><\/a>. Depending on the conditions, some layers of clothing may be omitted. The types of layers<\/strong> you can choose from are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The variety of mountain jackets is very wide and so is the range of prices. We can find them for 650 euros as Hagl\u00f6fs Roc Nordic Gtx Pro (Click to view<\/a>) <\/strong>356 euros, or at more affordable prices, such as the MILLET Kamet Light GTX (Amazon<\/a> \/ Alltricks<\/a>).<\/strong> On the other hand, ultralight jackets take up little space in the backpack and are very easy to carry. Personally, I usually carry an ultralight (thin) gore-tex jacket to use only in case of rain.(YOU MAY BE INTERESTED: The best third layer for mountaineering: how to choose the right one<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the lower garments you have various options ranging from from leggings to shorts<\/strong>For this choice you should consider the type of weather and the type of hiking you will be doing, as sometimes a pair of trousers will be necessary to keep warm. The types of bottoms you can use for hiking are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n For very cold conditions and when using waterproof trousers (outer layer). They will also offer comfort when sleeping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n (YOU MAY BE INTERESTED IN: The best hiking trousers. Comparison & buying guide<\/a><\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n We could say that footwear is the most important item to practice this sport because of the protection and support it gives to feet and ankles. To find the right most suitable hiking footwear<\/strong><\/a>You have multiple options to choose from, such as: hiking boots, trekking shoes, running shoes and special sandals. The different shoes you can choose from are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The most important thing about the choice of footwear is that it has good support and provides foot safety and protection<\/strong> The tyres are also designed to ensure good traction in both wet and dry terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other complements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

soft-shell jackets, which are characterised by waterproofness and breathability. One such jacket is the Arc'teryx Atom SL Hoody (Click here<\/a>)<\/strong> or the Cascade Ridge II Softshell (get it here<\/a>) <\/strong>from Columbia<\/strong>. Its good performance and value for money make it one of the most popular jackets among mountaineers. The evolution of the second layers<\/a><\/strong> have become more and more versatile, as is the case with soft-shell, which have become layers<\/strong> 2.5 <\/strong><\/em>which provide warmth, while protecting the body from humidity and the harshness of the weather (wind, water to a certain extent).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
