Autumn usually offers perfect conditions for a trip. However, the weather is more unpredictable, making it important to have hiking clothes suitable for all weather conditions. Poor clothing can often ruin the trip experience, so the choice of clothes is essential.
The three-layer principle
To stay warm on a trip, it is important to dress in layers. It is recommended to wear several thin layers rather than few thick garments. This makes it easier to remove layers bit by bit depending on how warm you get. During physical activity, the body experiences temperature changes, so it is good to have the option to adjust clothing accordingly. The three-layer principle means wearing a base layer, an insulating middle layer, and an outer layer when on a trip.
Here are our recommendations for dressing according to the principle for the perfect trip:
The perfect wool base layer
The practical use of wool base layers means they work both on trips and at home, and their main function is precisely to keep you warm and dry.

Accessories
When you are out on a trip, it is important to keep your head warm. A headpiece that retains heat is essential to prevent ruining the trip experience.
