{"title":"Hiking \u0026 Trekking","description":"\u003ch2\u003eHiking \u0026amp; Trekking Gear: Built for the Long Walk\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHiking and trekking are the most accessible forms of mountain travel — and the most demanding on gear. A multi-day trek on the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal, the GR20 in Corsica, or the Overland Track in Tasmania puts every piece of equipment through thousands of hours of sustained use across the full range of mountain conditions. The gear that survives this test — that remains comfortable, functional, and intact after 10–15 hour days on the trail for weeks at a time — is the gear in this collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHiking and trekking gear has evolved significantly from the heavy leather boots and external frame packs of earlier decades. Modern trekking gear is lighter, more comfortable, and more technically capable than anything available to previous generations of mountain travelers. A complete trekking kit that would have weighed 20+ kg in the 1980s can now be assembled at under 10 kg without sacrificing comfort or safety — a transformation driven by advances in materials science, manufacturing, and design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHiking \u0026amp; Trekking Essentials\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePacks\u003c\/strong\u003e: Day packs for single-day hikes; trekking packs for multi-day journeys with full camp kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFootwear\u003c\/strong\u003e: Trail shoes and hiking boots matched to terrain and load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNavigation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Maps, compasses, and GPS devices for route-finding in remote terrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrekking poles\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reduce knee impact on descents and improve stability on technical terrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClothing\u003c\/strong\u003e: Layering systems appropriate for the climate and elevation of your objective\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuild your complete trekking kit starting with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/activity-camping\"\u003eCamping collection\u003c\/a\u003e for shelter and sleep gear.
