HIKING APPAREL

Whether bright sunshine, pouring rain, scorching heat or freezing cold: Outdoor adventurers are rarely deterred from their passion for the mountains by the weather. That's why it's all the more important to be able to rely on the right equipment. The focus is on both the functionality and the wearing comfort of the garments. They have to match the needs of the athlete perfectly. This is the only way that mountain lovers can enjoy their hobby to the full in the great outdoors. Martini Sportswear focuses on high-quality workmanship, a precise fit and flexible materials. The result is functional, comfortable and stylish hiking apparel that protects and supports you on every mountain trek, in all weather conditions.

Having the right clothing for the hike is already half the battle. To make sure your set-up is perfect, don't forget the following equipment:

• Hiking boots: They provide a secure and reliable grip, even on slippery surfaces. High-ankle boots that reach up to the ankle or higher provide additional stabilisation for the foot – they are particularly recommended for difficult hikes and in alpine terrain. Low-fitting hiking shoes are ideal for easy trips.
• Hiking gaiters: If you are planning a hike through thorny bushes or over sections with snow, it is advisable to pack hiking gaiters. They protect the calves from injury and moisture in addition to hiking trousers.
• Hiking poles are popular aids for hiking. They relieve the joints and provide additional support.
• The most important thing for a trip in the mountains is a hiking backpack. A premium backpack offers a comfortable carrying system that distributes the weight evenly, thus relieving the shoulders and back.

A complete set of hiking equipment also includes a first-aid kit, a head torch, a pocket knife and sufficient supplies – after all, a hearty snack is the best way to enjoy the view from the summit.
