Outdoor: hiking, trails and camping
Between two training sessions, a long mountain walk also helps maintain your fitness: the outdoor equipment includes shoes, clothing, accessories, and camping gear. Choose a category to access the suitable models, then narrow down according to the terrain and the forecasted weather.
How outdoor gear is organised
The outdoor range is split into four categories: shoes, clothing, accessories, and sleeping gear. Each tile opens up a selection that can be filtered by gender, size, and use. For a runner or a triathlete, these nature outings serve as long, low-intensity sessions, useful for building endurance without the repeated impact of the pavement.
Subcategories to explore
The outdoor shoes include hiking models, waterproof versions, and sandals. The outdoor clothing covers base layers, fleeces, and rain jackets. For outdoor accessories, you'll find bags, poles, and head protection. For sleeping outside, the tent and sleeping gear section gathers shelters and sleeping bags. You can also browse by audience: men's outdoor, women's outdoor, or children's outdoor.
Choosing based on the planned outing
A day hike on a dry path requires little: a lightweight shoe, a breathable top, and a windproof layer in your sac. A multi-day trek changes the game, with a higher ankle, a waterproof jacket, and a sac big enough for the sleeping gear. Up high, always pack a warm layer, even in summer, as the weather can change quickly.
Brands available in outdoor
Hoka brings its running expertise to walking shoes, valued for their comfort over long distances. Patagonia outfits cold and wet outings with its technical layers. La Sportiva, very present in the mountains, offers shoes and clothing for rocky terrain. The North Face rounds off the range with jackets and down coats for exposed days.

Frequently asked questions
Does hiking have a place in a running training plan?
Yes, during a break or recovery period. A long walk with elevation works the heart and legs without the impacts of running, making it a great active recovery session.
Which category should I start with for a first outing?
Start with shoes, as they determine the comfort for the whole day. The rest can come from your running wardrobe.
Are my running clothes sufficient for hiking?
For a short outing in nice weather, often yes. Once the weather becomes uncertain, add a waterproof jacket and a warm layer, as you walk slower than you run and cool down more.
Are there models for younger ones?
Yes, the children's selection includes shoes and clothing sized for young walkers.
How do I prepare for a night of camping?
Think of three elements: a shelter suited for the wind, a sleeping bag chosen for the night temperature, and a mattress that provides insulation from the sol. The tent and sleeping gear selection covers these three needs.
