How about some cool and fresh winter air, landscapes lit by white snow and the best cup of hot coffee you ever had? Go hiking in the wintertime! After a bit of walking your picnic lunch tastes a hundred times better, not just the hot drink.

The bare minimum you need is not very much. Winter gear from us means high quality stuff without the burden of fashionable price tags. A day hike in nice winter conditions in surplus clothes is such a nice pastime, that we’re actually a little bit ashamed for the lack of suck.

You should adjust your clothing based on temperature, wind conditions and walking speed. Your footwear should have long shafts, or you can opt for gaiters. Further, a seat, woolly socks and a hot drink are all must-have items. If you plan to stay outdoor for the night, also check out our winter camping selection.
