Top Gear for Your Fall Foliage Hiking Adventure

There really is nothing that compares to or beats a beautiful autumn day with crisp air and gorgeous color. As Fall is all around us, it’s a time to get outdoors, enjoy the cool weather and take in some sights. And, what better way to do this than getting out and doing some good old fashioned hiking?

Whether you are a skilled climber or a casual weekend walker, you can find everything you need for a proper hike with gear from Bass Pro Shops. Founded in 1972, Bass Pro Shops is North America’s premier outdoor and conservation company. They provide unrivaled product selection, convenient locations, and incredible customer service. They know the meaning of outdoors and their collection of top notch gear is unmatched.

Footwear

If you’re looking for the best hiking footwear, you’ll find a wide variety at affordable prices. For instance, the men’s Columbia Newton Ridge Plus II Waterproof Hiking Boots have high reviews and comes in well under $100. So does the women’s Columbia Newton Ridge Plus Waterproof Hiking Boots. Both are made with full-length Techlite™ midsoles that provide comfortable cushioning, support, and shock absorption, while the Omni-Grip® high traction, non-marking rubber compound outsoles deliver sure footing keeping you upright. Throw on some high-performance hiking pants like the men’s Ascend Hiking Pants and you’re ready for the outdoors.

Storage and Hydration

Now that you are all geared up, you may not be sure to do with all of your gear and accessories. Grab a pack like the Osprey Skarab 22 Hydration Backpack to solve that problem. This rucksack-style pack features a classic bucket-style design with two wide zip closures, two large external side zip pockets, and two zip hip belt pockets to keep small necessities easily at hand. As a bonus, stay hydrated with a sternum strap designed with a magnetic bite valve that’s attached to a dedicated compartment that houses an Osprey Hydraulics® LT 2.5L reservoir. For the younger hikers, give them their own lightweight pack with the kid’s Osprey Daylite Hiking Backpack.

Keep Steady and Trek On!

Speaking of accessories, be sure to browse all the assessable gear available to be as prepared as you can out there on the trails. A little unsteady on your feet? Be sure to check out the Kelty’s Strider Hiking Staff that offers sure-footed confidence over rough or slippery terrain. This staff is compact, sturdy and folds up nicely for easy storage. And if direction is a problem, don’t worry about getting lost with the Cammenga 3H Tritium Compass. This customer-favorite provides self-illumination and can determine location of a terrain feature or follow a course.

No matter what gear you decide on, Bass Pro Shops has it all. Head over to their site and browse their entire collection so you can start enjoying the fall foliage right away!
