Stable on your feet.
Walking poles such as our Black Diamond range offer increased stability on slippery and uneven surfaces, and on steep uphills and downhills. Additionally they can help take some of the load off your legs and back.
Staying hydrated.
Whether on a day hike, a multi-day with your bulky gear transported ahead, or carrying the lot, bringing enough water to stay well hydrated and prepared is essential. Enter the hydration back-pack, aka Camelbak.
Warm. Dry. Sorted.
The formula to comfort on the trail is pretty simple. You want to be warm, you want to be dry, and you want to be comfortable. Premium, and specifically designed hiking apparel, chosen for your adventure will have you remembering the adventure, and not the blisters.
Let there be light.
The art of adventure is being prepared when things don't go to plan. A reliable, comfortable head torch is a must. If you're on the track later then anticipated a decent head torch offering handsfree lighting will be a critical.
