Summer walks - Ready for the heat, sun and nature
Light and airy: Technical clothing for summer hikes
When it's hot, lightweight, quick-drying and breathable clothing is a must. Our summer clothing helps prevent overheating, wicks away sweat and keeps you cool - even on steep climbs.
Hats and caps to keep cool
A good hat isn't optional - it's essential. Our trekking hats and caps with UV protection protect you from the sun and help reduce heat stress. Perfect for sunny trails, open terrain and long days outdoors.
