Guide

Outdoor

Start with the trip you do most often. Weather protection, footwear that fits and a rucksack for the necessary kit matter before extra features.

Key points

  • In steady rain, choose a waterproof outer layer.
  • Choose footwear for the ground and your foot shape, not cuff height alone.
  • For a day walk, 15–30 l is a starting point for rucksack volume.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need new kit for every trip?

No. Start with suitable footwear and weather protection. Add specialist kit when the route, season or activity calls for it.

What do I pack for a day?

Food, water, weather protection and safety kit suited to the route. Required space depends on conditions and whether you carry for other people.

What clothing suits changing temperatures?

A close-fitting base layer, an insulating midlayer and a waterproof outer layer can be adjusted separately.

Which size matters most?

For clothing, room to move over the next layer; for shoes, foot shape; for a rucksack, back length. The size label alone does not decide fit.
