Packing list hiking: You should pay attention to this

There are different types of hiking shoes
, and a distinction is not only made between men's and women's hiking shoes.
There are half-height hiking shoes to real mountain boots.
We recommend hiking shoes that go above the ankle.
This means you always have a secure footing, cannot twist your ankle and your ankles are protected from larger stones.
Here you will find suitable hiking shoes.

How to find the right hiking shoe

The most important thing in a hiking shoe is the fit.

It just has to fit well and be comfortable, after all you wear this shoe for several hours, go up and down hills.

It is therefore better to try out the hiking shoes before you use them for the first time.

Put on the shoes with hiking socks

🛒

to get a feel for it.

You can find out the right size with the following trick: Remove the insole from the hiking shoe and stand on it.

The heel should end with the sole at the back, and there should be a distance of around one centimeter between the toes and the edge of the sole at the front.

There
are also different models of
hiking pants .
When the weather is nice, short hiking trousers are of course a good idea, but many hikers also prefer long trousers.
How about a station wagon?
With long hiking pants with detachable legs, you are always flexible.
Here you will find suitable hiking trousers for women as well as trousers for men in all variants.
When it comes to
hiking
clothing, you should always make sure that the clothing is breathable.
Many hikers now also swear by functional shirts and sports underwear.
The textiles do not absorb sweat and also dry very quickly.
Be sure to pack a spare shirt, because it can get cold at the next stop.
Here you will find functional shirts.
Even when the weather is nice, you can suddenly be caught by a rain shower.
It is also often windy and cold on the mountain.
Be prepared for all weather conditions and take a
rain jacket and a windbreaker or a soft shell jacket
with you.
Here you will find jackets for every occasion.
Not only skiers know that UV radiation is stronger at higher altitudes.
So protect yourself from the sun with
sunglasses, sunscreen
🛒
and suitable headgear
.
You can find a selection of caps and hats here: Men's models and women's models.
In addition to all the hiking clothing, a
hiking backpack
should not be missing.
If you are planning a day trip, a hiking backpack with a volume of 10 to 30 liters is recommended.
For a multi-day hike, the hiking backpack should be larger, after all, you also have more spare clothing and provisions with you.
Here you will find hiking backpacks for day and multi-day tours.

How do I find the right hiking backpack?

When buying a hiking backpack, not only the volume is decisive.

Depending on the manufacturer, a backpack has a mesh back.

The back padding has a

mesh cover

and thus ensures optimal ventilation of the back and avoids excessive sweating.

There are also big differences in the equipment.

How many compartments should a hiking backpack have?

Is there an extra compartment for wallet and smartphone?

Does the hiking backpack have a hydration system device that makes drinking bottles superfluous?

Only when you have answered these questions will you find the right hiking backpack.

Hiking
poles are optional for many hikers
, but the helpers should not be missing on any longer route.
The steeper the paths get, the more useful hiking poles are.
They help when climbing and at the same time relieve the joints.
The trekking poles increase the use of your arms, which relieves your legs.
You will feel the difference the next day at the latest, when the sore muscles are not so severe.
Here you will find hiking sticks.
Finally the mountain has been climbed.
time for a treat.
And what tastes better than a cool drink and a hearty snack?
Nothing.
But until then, there is a more or less longer hike to do.
Diet is
extremely important here
to provide the body with energy.
When it comes to drinking, drinking systems have become established.
These systems consist of a bag and a tube.
The tube protrudes from the hiking backpack and can be attached to the side of it.
So you always have water ready without having to take off your backpack.
And waste is also saved by not using drinking bottles.
Muesli bars and other snacks such as trail mix are suitable for a little refreshment in between.
Here you will find a small selection of provision items.
For a hike lasting several days, the sleeping place in a mountain hut is usually quite adequately equipped.
Nevertheless, you should find out in advance what the bed linen looks like, both in a normal room and in a dormitory.
Under certain circumstances you should take a
hut sleeping
bag 🛒 with you.
This is lighter and smaller than a normal sleeping bag and therefore does not take up as much space in the backpack.
As a hiker, you can never be too well equipped.
If you are on a tour lasting several days, you should definitely have a power bank
🛒
for your smartphone with you.
A
first aid
set 🛒 and blister plasters
🛒 are also important.
A microfiber
towel 🛒 is ideal for showering, as it dries quickly
.
If you want to start early in the morning or enjoy the sunset on the mountain in the evening, you should get a forehead lamp
🛒
.
In bad weather,
rain trousers, neoprene gloves
🛒
and a rain cover for the hiking backpack
🛒 also prove to be extremely useful.
