What to wear hiking in variable weather

Good shoes and technical clothing are essential for hiking, but it's just as important to effectively protect your head and neck to adapt to the changing weather conditions associated with this sport.

SEE THE ESSENTIALS FOR HIKING

When hiking or trekking, stable conditions are rare. A sunny climb can quickly be followed by a downpour or a cold break. Choosing the right head and neck accessories means knowing how to adapt to stay comfortable.

Hiking: a sport for all seasons

Good accessories should cover your ears sufficiently and protect your neck from the elements, no matter the season.

  • Spring and autumn: conditions change quickly between the start and the summit.
  • Summer: heat and UV are intense, especially at altitude.
  • Winter: cooling down during breaks requires increased protection around the neck and face.

Adjust throughout the outing
