What to bring on a hike: Attire<\/span><\/h2>\n

Tops<\/span><\/h3>\n

In a hot and humid country like Singapore, it\u2019s easy for your top to become drenched in perspiration as you\u2019re navigating through these hilly paths! That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to don the right top when deciding what to bring for a hike. Look for tops made from cotton material, as cotton is durable and will keep you cool while out on your hike! Cotton t-shirts like the <\/span>Explorer Tee<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Summer Adventure Logo Tee<\/span><\/a> (both available on <\/span>The North Face Official Store<\/span><\/a>) take advantage of The North Face\u2019s advanced cooling technology to wick moisture to the fabric\u2019s surface, allowing for easy drying. These The North Face tees are also known for their extreme durability in rugged conditions so you won\u2019t have to fret about their elasticity wearing off!<\/span><\/p>\n

Bottoms<\/span><\/h3>\n

Hiking enthusiasts will tell you that bottoms are crucial because they are key to freedom of movement. The wrong type of stiff material can\u00a0 cause abrasions or restrict movement when you\u2019re trying to clamber from one tough spot to the next — and that\u2019s really the last thing you want on a hike! That’s why you\u2019ll want to make bottoms like <\/span>Men’s Fast Hike Pants<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Women\u2019s Trekker 9\/10 Pants<\/span><\/a> (both available on <\/span>The North Face Official Store<\/span><\/a>) part of your wardrobe when considering optimal hiking gear in Singapore. Made from a water-resistant material, these pants also have a Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish so they offer fantastic protection against rain and moisture! Add to this winning combination a pre-shaped knee pattern that offers extended range of movement and you have a winner when it comes to sheer comfort and flexibility.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What to bring on a hike: Outerwear and footwear<\/span><\/h3>\n

Jackets<\/span><\/h3>\n

Contrary to popular belief, it\u2019s safe to hike in the rain as long as you\u2019re well equipped when deciding what to bring on a hike! While it wouldn\u2019t be necessary in the blistering heat, jackets from The North Face can ensure you won\u2019t need to cancel your hiking plans in light of wet weather. For beginners, we recommend the <\/span>Millerton Jacket<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>New Sangro Plus Jacket<\/span><\/a> (both available on <\/span>The North Face Official Store<\/span><\/a>) because of their superior DryVent technology. By using a polyurethane coating, the jackets achieve an unmatched level of breathability while staying waterproof. This is so you can stay warm and dry as you attempt to scale the slippery slopes. For hikers who fear the cold winds, make use of the jacket\u2019s cinch-cord hem and velcro cuff tabs that block out any sudden gusts of air.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shoes<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re thinking of taking on the great outdoors, you\u2019ll need reliable footwear! From preventing blisters to giving you the necessary grip, it\u2019s no exaggeration to say your hiking shoes can make or break your enjoyment during a hike. Fitting and materials used are of utmost importance when determining what hiking shoes to rely on. From having enough wiggle room to having a waterproof membrane, footwear like the <\/span>Ultra Fastpack IV Mid Futurelight<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Hedgehog Hike II Mid GTX<\/span><\/a> (both available on <\/span>The North Face Official Store<\/span><\/a>) are feature packed to ensure you can hike safely and comfortably. One notable similarity between both shoes is the OrthoLite footbed! By including these extra comfortable foam insoles, you certainly won\u2019t have to deal with the usual post-hike aches and cramps.<\/span><\/p>\n

Psst<\/span><\/i> for bonus comfort, make sure you put on some <\/span>Hiking Socks<\/span><\/a> (available on <\/span>The North Face Official Store<\/span><\/a>)! These specialised socks have outstanding features like an elastic ankle and arch to hold your sock in place and localised mesh knit construction for added ventilation. The end result is a performance hiking sock that\u2019ll comfortably protect your feet, no matter how rugged the conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

What to bring on a hike: Accessories\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Headwear<\/span><\/h3>\n

Tired of the sun beating down on you? Keep <\/span>The North Face\u2019s Horizon Hat<\/span><\/a> (available on <\/span>The North Face Official Store<\/span><\/a>) by your side! Beneath its casual appearance, the Horizon Hat holds plenty of design decisions to keep you cool and dry. With its elastic sweatband for moisture wicking and 50 Ultraviolet Protection Factor, you won\u2019t have to deal with annoyances like rolling sweat droplets or sunburns. It\u2019s no wonder many hikers rely on this ultra lightweight cap to accompany them on their hiking trips!<\/span><\/p>\n

Backpacks<\/span><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s important to hike in comfort by bringing a backpack along. After all, you wouldn\u2019t want to have your hands full with your <\/span>water bottle<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>insect repellent<\/span><\/a> as you\u2019re appreciating the great outdoors. Specifically, the <\/span>Explore Fusebox Daypack L<\/span><\/a> (available on <\/span>The North Face Official Store<\/span><\/a>) is our pick because it\u2019s both durable and stylish. Thanks to its padded shoulder strap, you could carry this all day and not feel any upper body strain or discomfort! As for carrying capacity, the daypack\u2019s rectangular shape and mesh compartments allows for ample storage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Travelling light? The North Face has you covered too with its <\/span>Explore Bardu II<\/span><\/a> (available on <\/span>The North Face Official Store<\/span><\/a>). Don\u2019t let its miniature size fool you — this cross-body sling bag also works as a waist pouch and is just the right size for a short hike as it keeps your basic belongings by your side. Durability-wise, this bag also holds up well as it uses The North Face\u2019s signature Base Camp fabric that\u2019s often sported on its various duffel bags.<\/span><\/p>\n
