How to Choose the Best Rain Jacket


Feeling overwhelmed by rain jacket options? Don't worry, we've got you covered!
 

Key features to look out for when choosing a rain jacket.

  • Waterproof (obviously), but do you also need a jacket that's windproof, breathable, lightweight, and durable?
  • Materials to look for: GORE-TEX, NGX, Pertex.
  • Pit zips for ventilation.
  • Packability - even the world's most waterproof jacket isn't ideal for hiking if it takes up your whole pack when not in use.

Choosing the best hiking boots


Whether you plan to trek in the mountains or explore a
nearby national park, your footwear can seriously make (or break) your
experience. To get it right, you'll need to find the perfect fit in either
boots or shoes designed specifically for your intended purpose.


Top things to consider when choosing hiking boots

  • Choose boots for your foot shape.
  • Consider hiking socks.
  • What kind of terrain will you be on?
  • How long will you be in your feet?
