Hiker wearing Smartwool Smartloft Jacket

A cozy, hooded mid layer, the Montane Khamsin Hooded Softshell Jacket supplies windproof insulation for cold-weather adventures on the trail and at the crag

We don the the Páramo Men’s Bentu Fleece, wearing it with its matching jacket and on its own to see whether or not it cuts the mustard in the backcountry

We take to the trails in Salewa’s Pedroc Powertex Shoes, a hard-wearing yet lightweight hiking shoe that’s perfect for mountain day hikes

Warm, light, breathable and phone-friendly, these gloves have practically everything you'd want from a pair of hiking gloves

These blister-proof boots are at home in the Scottish mountains and suitable for alpine missions

The Salewa Ortles Wall 38L Backpack is a robust, roomy backpack carefully designed for alpine environments

A three-layer waterproof jacket made with recycled material and Montane’s new Petrichor membrane

I camp, hike and loaf around in the Passenger Backroads Recycled Polartec Fleece, a stylish and sustainable top for time in the great outdoors

This technical base layer gives off the impression of being a casual tee, but handles mountain hikes with surprising ease
