Trekitt\u2019s\u00a0Essential Hiking Gear Checklist\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A good day on the hill usually comes down to two things. Reasonable weather and having the right kit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, we can\u2019t help much with the first one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What we can help with, though, is making sure you\u2019ve got the right kit once the weather inevitably does what British weather does best. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

At Trekitt we spend a lot of time hiking in classic UK conditions. Sideways rain in the Brecon Beacons, boggy Lake District trails, windy ridgelines in Scotland and the occasional \u201cit said sunny on the forecast\u201d disaster. Over the years, we\u2019ve learnt that the right gear makes a massive difference, not just to comfort but confidence too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This guide is designed as a hiking gear checklist for UK walkers, but with a bit more substance than the usual \u201cpack a coat and some water\u201d advice.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

IN SHORT…<\/h2>\n\n\n
