Our most important tip is: the right jacket for your hike. Because the best grade a hiking jacket can get is that you do not reflect on your choice of clothing during the hike, but that all focus is instead on your company and the nature you are in. The jacket should be able to keep you dry and warm by resisting water and wind, while at the same time breathing to even out the temperature of your body during increased exertion.

Key features of a hiking jacket

It's the weather-optimised material and practical features that make Haglöfs hiking jackets so popular. Shell jackets with waterproof and windproof materials from GORE-TEX or Haglöfs' own PROOF™ material are the right choice for hiking in more extreme weather conditions. Under such a shell jacket, you can wear a moisture-wicking base layer and possibly a warming midlayer at colder degrees.
If you want to move quickly, smoothly and light as a feather over the forest and land, a lighter hiking jacket from the L.I.M series, adapted for fast and strenuous outdoor activities, may be the more suitable choice.
Details such as the placement of seams, pockets, reinforcements and adjustable vents then complement the jackets so that, despite their minimalist design, they give you the best conditions for a comfortable hike.
For added comfort, the shoulders are free of seams to allow you to carry a rucksack without pressure or chafing. Pockets are also positioned for easy access when carrying your pack, so you can easily reach valuables or small snacks without stopping your hike.
