For those who go out for the day and for those who tackle multiple stages, the Black Friday hiking sale brings together walking boots, warm clothing and gear. Whether male or female, everyone has their own page.
Start with your feet: a good shoe makes half of the hike.
The hiking items on sale are gathered here, sorted into men's, women's, and equipment sections. It's a great time to prepare for winter outings or the first big walks of spring.
For well-marked paths and day hikes, a low shoe offers lightness and flexibility. As the terrain gets rough, the bag gets heavier, or if you're out for several days, a high-cut boot protects the ankle.
A waterproof membrane keeps your feet dry in dew and puddles. On summer outings in dry weather, a more breathable shoe prevents overheating.
When hiking, the effort varies constantly: you warm up while climbing and cool down during breaks. That's why a fleece or a light down jacket that you can take on and off is useful, along with a waterproof jacket at the bottom of your bag.
Avoid cotton next to your skin: it retains moisture and cools you down as soon as you stop.
With its Terrex line, adidas offers shoes and clothing designed for the outdoors. Napapijri, born at the foot of the Italian Alps, is known for its warm jackets and Skidoo anorak.
Helly Hansen, a Norwegian brand, has made a name for itself with its waterproof jackets. Peak Mountain completes the selection with its fleeces and mountain jackets, while La Sportiva provides the grip with its shoes born in the Dolomites.
Aside from Black Friday, the hiking clearance features end-of-range items, and the special offers on hiking include current discounted prices. To check out what's just arrived, have a look at the hiking new arrivals.
On the pages men's hiking shoes and women's hiking shoes. Look for the mention of a waterproof membrane in the product description.
Check the warmth-to-weight ratio and compressibility: a down jacket that packs into its pocket takes up little space in your bag. The discounted models can be found on the pages men's clothing and women's clothing.
They relieve the knees on descents and provide support on climbs, especially with a loaded bag. You can find them on the page hiking equipment.
Try them on with your walking socks and leave some space in front of your toes for downhill sections. The heel should not lift when you walk.
Brush off the mud after each outing, let them dry away from a heat source, and periodically revive the waterproofing of the boot with a suitable product.
