The Essentials

• Windproof and water-repellent jacket (light waterproofing)
• Lightweight thermal layer (fleece or merino wool)
• Breathable technical t-shirt
• Trail shorts or tights with freedom of movement
• Reinforced anti-blister socks
• Cap or buff for sun and sweat
• Thin gloves for cool mornings
• And of course, consider our selection of trail shoes for grip and comfort

How to Choose? Essential Criteria

• Breathability: sweat evacuation to avoid chafing
• Light waterproofing: membrane and water-repellent finish
• Lightweight and compact: easy to pack in a bag
• Fit: free movement, without chafing at thighs and shoulders
• Pockets and zippers: easy access to energy and phone
• Durability: reinforcements in exposed areas (knees, buttocks)

Size: How to Choose the Right Fit

Opt for a close-fitting cut, but without restriction. If in doubt, choose a size that allows for layering a thin layer. Check the manufacturer's size guide and test movements (squats, knee lifts). Sleeves and inseam should remain comfortable in motion.

Recommended Materials

• Polyester and nylon: lightweight, durable, and quick-drying
• Merino wool: natural warmth, low odor
• Softshell and waterproof-breathable membranes: protection against wind and rain
• Elastane: for ease and shape recovery

Care for Longevity

• Wash at 30°C with a mild detergent
• Avoid fabric softener: it clogs technical fibers
• Air dry preferably. Avoid excessive heat
• Re-waterproof jackets when water no longer beads
• Store away from moisture and sunlight

Brands and Recognition

There are many recognized brands in the trail world. Look for reputation on durability, user feedback, and field tests. Don't rely solely on looks: technical performance makes the difference.
