What equipment do you have for mountaineering and hiking?

Mountaineering has been quite popular in recent years. Some young people like this sport because it can not only exercise their bodies but also enjoy the fun of traveling. However, mountaineering is a risky sport, so you must bring good mountaineering equipment. In recent years, dangerous situations have occurred during mountaineering. Therefore, the preparation of mountaineering equipment and the climber's physical condition determine the risk of mountaineering. Let's take a look at what mountaineering equipment is.

1

Hiking shoes. For hiking and mountaineering, the most important thing is a pair of suitable and good quality hiking shoes. The soles of hiking shoes must have strong grip (with deep convex and concave patterns) to avoid accidentally falling when it rains or in flowing water. In summer, you can buy a pair of river trekking shoes, as they are necessary for wading. In winter, waterproof quality is required. It is recommended to buy shoes one size larger than your feet to facilitate movement. I won’t discuss the brands, you can choose from Decathlon, TNF, Columbia, etc.

Quick-drying clothes and pants. When exercising outdoors, the amount of exercise increases dramatically, and the amount of sweating also increases accordingly. It was very uncomfortable when clothes were soaked with sweat and stuck to the body. In order to get rid of the uncomfortable feeling of a lot of sweat accumulating on the skin surface, many friends choose to wear "comfortable and breathable" pure cotton clothing. In fact, pure cotton clothing can only absorb sweat and is not breathable, so it is not suitable for wearing during exercise. Quick-drying clothes with good performance can guide sweat to the surface of the clothes, so that the sweat can evaporate quickly and restore the body's comfort. When spring and summer turn around and autumn is not too cold, quick-drying clothes and pants are very good choices.

Jacket and pants. It is basically not used in summer and is mainly suitable for cold weather. The material of the jacket must be windproof, waterproof, breathable and other requirements. You can choose a single piece or a three-in-one according to your needs (the three-in-one has a fleece liner, which is suitable for winter wear). For color, try to choose bright colors~

Trekking poles. It is also one of the very necessary equipment. It can improve the stability of hiking and mountaineering and reduce the burden on the legs. Studies have shown that using trekking poles while walking can reduce the force applied to muscle joints such as the legs and knees by at least 22%, making the legs feel more comfortable! Moreover, using two trekking poles at the same time can provide better balance and balance the muscles of both legs. Friends who don’t have time to prepare trekking poles can also use local materials in the wild. Using wooden sticks as trekking poles is also a good choice.

Hiking bag. Essential and very important equipment! A good mountaineering bag can make you as light as a swallow (an exaggeration...). The structure of a mountaineering bag can be divided into three parts, namely the carrying system, the loading system and the external hanging system. To choose the size of a hiking bag, you can go to Decathlon or an outdoor store to ask the staff. I always use a super mini 10L children's hiking bag for every one-day hiking, and it is enough.

Other equipment include waist protectors, which are very necessary when climbing and can ensure the safety of climbers to the greatest extent. In addition to the necessary equipment mentioned above, if you need to camp in the wild, you will also need sleeping bags, moisture-proof mats, headlamps, tents, etc. The above equipment must be purchased with relatively good quality, which is also a guarantee of safety.
