Nature is full of fascinating places. Whether hiking in Austria, Germany or other regions: Especially this summer we enjoy the unforgettable moments of hiking with family and children all the more.
In order for the next tour to be a unique experience, the rucksack must be cleverly packed. Here you can find out what equipment you should definitely take with you on day tours, weekend tours and for the next summit.
What clothes do I need when hiking?
From comfortable to fast – from flat to steep: There is the right clothing for every gait. For those who are active in all weather and want to feel comfortable, there is a need for sports clothing with a system.
A system that consists of several light layers according to the proven Löffler layer principle and is perfectly coordinated.
MUST-HAVES : HYBRID JACKETS
New hybrid jackets perfectly combine the advantages of all materials.
Through body mapping or the targeted use of materials, all requirements of the athlete are fulfilled. During the development of the new hybrid jackets, great importance was attached to optimal thermoregulation with a small pack size. This protects against unpleasant weather conditions and keeps the body warm. The jackets are ideal for carrying around and can be stored in the smallest pocket.
- – Windproof zones in the front area prevent the body from cooling down
- – Combined with elastic materials such as Race Elastic and Active Stretch light for absolute freedom of movement
- – Well thought-out details, such as reflective fibres incorporated in the waistband ends, support visibility
- – Dynamic and sporty look – suitable for sports and leisure
What belongs in your luggage naturally depends on the type of tour”.
Cleverly PACKED
Apart from the right clothing, the following equipment should not be missing, especially when hiking with children or animals:
- Correct, off-road shoes with intact soles
- Functional socks (transtex® sport socks) with reinforced heel and toe area: this means that unpleasant pressure and chafing points or blisters don’t stand a chance- Sufficient food & drinks: It is important to provide the body with sufficient fluids during physical exertion. Energy bars and fruit will also quickly replenish your energy reserves.
- Headgear to protect against sun, wind & rain (cap, hat, multifunctional cloth or headband)
- Sun cream with high SPF
- Clothing to change: Wet clothing should be changed quickly to protect against chills
- Smartphone, map or navigation device for quick orientation
- Tick forceps
- Small first aid kit
- Sports towel
- Headlamp for longer tours (especially in the morning and evening)
- Gloves for rope covered passages
- Garbage bags (so that the garbage moves from the mountain to the valley)
Clean environment
Especially the latter is important in order to go into the mountains responsibly and do something good for the environment (and oneself). Our ecosystem should be protected and value should be placed on sustainably produced products. Responsibility towards people, the region and the environment is very close to our heart.
For decades, we have been producing sustainably and fairly in Austria and Europe, paying attention to the highest social standards, short transport routes and a clean environment.
However, the most resource-saving aspect is a long life cycle of the product. Löffler offers a repair service to prolong this life cycle. So you can enjoy your sportswear for a long time to come!
