What to Wear on Autumn Treks?

Fall-winter 22 with the HIKE collection by Columbia Sportswear

Trails slowly empty, silence and calm set in, nature delights with colour feasts. Even shorter days are no problem – less time hiking in sunlight, but conditions change less dynamically. Autumn in the mountains is a weather-stable period, storms extremely rare compared to holidays. No more nagging heat, pleasing those who dislike moving in full sun. Whether you are a beginner outdoor lover or an expert, a packing checklist helps. We based our mountain trip product picks on hits from the American Columbia Sportswear FW22 HIKE fall collection.

Autumn is perfect for mountain hiking.

Boots are key equipment, making hikes pure pleasure or worst nightmare. Footwear must be durable, supporting and cushioning to avoid foot strain and blisters. The right model also depends on your terrain.
