Hiking jackets
What is a good hiking jacket?
You may be surprised, but there is no such thing as a good or bad hiking jacket. It is, first and foremost a matter of context. A summer hike in the Lake District or a mid-season mountain trek does not require the same technical characteristics. In the same fashion, a multi-day adventure will encourage to look for versatility to minimize the weight carried and be prepared for a wide range of scenarios, while for a single-day hike, you just have to check the forecast to bring only what is necessary. The best jacket for you can be different, depending on the place, the season, the altitude, physical difficulty of the route, or the number of trekking days it requires. A hiking jacket constitutes the last layer and should protect you efficiently from the elements to maintain optimum thermal comfort, airflow and moisture management. In our hiking apparel corner, you will find at Glisshop, jackets for women, men and children which will allow you to enjoy your holidays and weekends in the best conditions.

How to Choose a Hiking Jacket?
The outdoor adventure begins with the right equipment, and the hiking jacket is at the heart of this equipment. It not only protects you against wind, rain, and cold, but also contributes to your overall comfort by regulating temperature and body moisture. Whether you're a casual hiker or a trekking enthusiast, understanding the importance of a suitable jacket is essential for an enjoyable and safe experience. Your choice of jacket will depend on the activity. Consider criteria like breathability, waterproofness, lightness, and/or the presence of zippered pockets combined with other features to choose the right jacket.
Glisshop's Tips for Finding the Right Hiking Jacket
For hiking enthusiasts, selecting an appropriate jacket is essential. At Glisshop, we offer a wide selection of jackets suitable for all sorts of conditions, whether for intense activities or more peaceful walks. Hiking jackets are distinguished by their functionality: waterproof models are perfect for humid climates, while insulated jackets provide essential warmth in cold environments. Breathable jackets are ideal for intense activities, allowing efficient sweat evaporation. Each type meets a unique set of needs and conditions, making the choice of the most suitable jacket for your hiking style crucial. For example, the same jacket wouldn't be worn for a hike on the windy and rainy cliffs of Brittany as for a hike in the Aravis under the cold winter sun.
Waterproof and Water-Repellent Rain Jackets
An Essential ‘Sealed’ Protection
In rainy weather, opting for a jacket with a good water-repellent coating is crucial. Glisshop's waterproof jackets, often featuring Gore-Tex technology, offer both waterproofness and breathability, guaranteeing you stay dry even during the most intense activities. You can filter our jackets by their waterproofness level. The higher the waterproof rating, the more waterproof the jacket is. A jacket with a 30,000 mm (or 30k) rating is very waterproof, while a 5k jacket will be much less so.
Gore-Tex Jackets for Men and Women, the Ultimate Mountain Jacket
Ideal for Extreme Activities
Gore-Tex is a perfect choice for hiking jackets due to its unique waterproof and breathable properties. This material allows you to stay comfortably dry even when partaking in extreme sports.
Windproof Jackets: An Effective Protection Against the Cold
During a hike, wind can be a genuine issue. Even if it's not particularly cold, the wind cools the body and can quickly turn a nice walk into a nightmare. Our windproof jackets are ideal for proper protection and enjoying the landscape. Glisshop offers a wide variety of windproof, waterproof, and breathable jackets for men and women.
Hiking Jacket for Ski Touring?
Of course! Ski touring is just a hike...on skis. However, since the intensity can be greater on skis and the conditions harsher, performance should be prioritised, perhaps at the expense of the budget. A very waterproof jacket for moving through snow and especially very breathable to help you not get too hot during the climb is crucial. Remember, it's always possible to add a layer for the descent (which you could have put in your backpack for example) to be better insulated and avoid the body cooling down too much after a physically challenging ascent. You'll find a wide selection of ski jackets on Glisshop.
