What to wear for a spring hike?
In spring, weather conditions can change rapidly on the trails. Rely on the multi-layer system, designed to adapt to weather conditions while ensuring your comfort.
Dressing in layers
Too hot? Take off a layer or two. Is the temperature dropping or is it raining? Put on an extra layer. This system keeps you comfortable in a variety of weather conditions.
Waterproof clothing
As a general rule, clothing made entirely from regular cotton or organic cotton should be avoided for outdoor activities. Cotton absorbs moisture, cools the skin and takes a long time to dry. Ideally, opt for technical clothing that is breathable, stretchy and quick-drying.
Don't forget to bring a waterproof jacket in case of rain. Opt for lightweight clothing made from synthetic fibres (or merino wool) that are compressible and easy to carry. Choose convertible pants that quickly become shorts, so you can easily adapt to the weather.
And don't forget to bring a spare pair of socks, because nobody likes walking with wet feet. Socks that control temperature and wick away moisture are crucial to keeping your feet comfortable.
