You may also want to choose one that is waterproof in case of any unexpected change of weather.

OUR TIP
Depending on the season, you may simply want to choose a light jacket or shell to keep you protected from the wind and rain without adding extra weight or warmth. Complete your outfit with a baselayer and with a fleece you can easily remove if you feel warm.

BASELAYERS
A baselayer is your foundation for warmth in winter and your wicking layer in summer, and should be worn below the midlayer and outer-layer (jacket). A baselayer can be worn as a standalone during workouts or outdoors spring and autumn activities.

LEAVE NO TRACE
Good wilderness etiquette is essential in safeguarding the pristine wild places on our planet, as well as ensuring quality outdoor experiences for generations to come.
Pack it in/pack it out
Be mindful of the environment and of others and take your trash home with you.
Don’t feed wildlife
Feeding wild animals will affect their natural behaviours and teach them to rely on human-provided food.
Keep tunes down
Respect the silence and do not disturb wildlife with unnecessary noise.
 
Campfires
Think twice before lighting up a campfire: they may prohibited and may cause serious damage to the environment.
