What Clothes to Wear for Summer Hiking?
Shorts or Trousers: Which Option to Choose?
The choice between shorts and trousers depends on hiking conditions. Shorts offer better ventilation and greater freedom of movement, making them ideal for very hot days. On the other hand, lightweight trousers provide better protection from UV rays, scratches, and insects. For a balance between the two, opt for a convertible model with removable legs.
T-Shirt: Breathability and Protection
A technical, breathable, and quick-drying t-shirt is recommended to wick away sweat and keep you dry. A long-sleeve t-shirt with UV protection is ideal for avoiding sunburn, especially at high altitudes or during prolonged sun exposure.
Buying Guide: How to Dress for a Summer Hike?
The summer season brings specific weather conditions for hiking. The heat may tempt you to wear minimal clothing, but when the sun is intense, it's better to opt for a long-sleeve t-shirt and hiking trousers rather than a short-sleeve t-shirt and hiking shorts. This way, you will be better protected from the sun and its heating effect on the skin, as well as from mosquitoes when passing near wet areas.
Choose clothing made from technical fabrics. Most summer models are lightweight and breathable, efficiently wicking away moisture and drying quickly. Also, consider accessories such as a hat, sunglasses, and a good pair of shoes suited to the terrain.
Our experts have prepared a complete guide just for you.
Walking Clothes Adapted to Weather Conditions
Rain Gear: A Must-Have
A warm and sunny morning can quickly turn into a sudden storm, causing temperatures to drop. Similarly, daily weather forecasts can be uncertain. To prepare for these changes, always carry rain gear, such as a poncho or a waterproof hiking jacket and trousers.
To be ready for any situation, it’s wise to pack dry spare clothes and a lightweight Softshell jacket in case of an unexpected storm. Indeed, especially in mountain hikes, as you may already know, the weather can be highly unpredictable.
What Clothing for Mountain Trekking?
Distances are longer when it comes to treks, and the effort extends over several days, often in complete autonomy and deep in nature. With the changing weather and depending on the season, it's best to be prepared and equipped! Numerous technical and versatile clothes can meet your needs for a successful escapade despite sometimes harsh conditions. Comfort is all the more essential as your morale will be high if you have the opportunity to walk dry, without being too hot or too cold, with good air circulation and UV protection.
Men's and Women's Thermal Base Layers
Thermal base layers are your ally for mountain treks. You have two options when choosing the product that will suit you best.
Merino Wool for Extreme Cold
Merino wool comes from the sheep of the same name, the merino. It is known for its ability to regulate perspiration very effectively and has exceptional thermal properties. It should be preferred for autumn treks. This wool also has the major advantage of counteracting odours, unlike synthetic clothing which will reveal the olfactory effects of exertion.
Synthetic Fibre
Synthetic fibre has the advantage of being very light and soft. It dries quickly, making it an excellent ally for sunny treks. These characteristics make it comfortable to wear and protect you from UV rays without trapping heat!

Millet and Lafuma, Outdoor Clothes Made in France
Based in Annecy, Millet Mountain Group includes Millet and Lafuma, two pioneers of French and global outdoor activities. From family hikes to the most challenging adventures, find products from these two brands on Glisshop, and get ready to give your best!
Ethical and Responsible Brands
Aware of their impact on the environment, many brands like Vaude or Patagonia are moving towards eco-friendlier designs to take care of the nature we love to explore. These brands strive to offer ranges of clothing with stylish designs, high technical performance, and made of recycled materials or free from harmful substances.
Labels and certifications can help consumers identify certain key criteria: the organic origin of fibres, verification of good working conditions for workers throughout the production chain, assurance of animal welfare where feathers are collected. Check the characteristics of our products and look for labels like Oeko-Tex, Bluesign, Fair Wear, Fair Trade, GOTS, RDS, and Organic Cotton.
What is the Three-Layer Rule?
Hiking clothes benefit from increasingly advanced technologies, materials, and options over the years. To stay warm without suffocating under your clothes, it's essential to follow the layering system.
Breathable Layer:
For the upper body, an absorbent and breathable layer like a technical hiking T-shirt will keep you dry. In this area, synthetic fibres have broken records in thermoregulation, moisture-wicking, UV protection, and softness to the touch. This type of clothing dries very quickly. It will play an important role in moisture-wicking.
Insulating Mid-Layer
This will ensure great thermal comfort. It can be a fleece or a down jacket. In very cold weather, it is advisable to prefer fleece and keep the down jacket in the backpack. At the end of the day or upon reaching the summit, it will provide a dry layer to prevent chills.
Waterproof Layer
The waterproof and windproof hiking jacket is the final layer to effectively protect you from the elements without taking up too much space in the backpack. With a waterproof membrane, it will keep you dry in wet conditions.
