Hiking and Backpacking
When you head into the great outdoors, it's important to have the proper gear. At Sierra Trading Post, we look for quality, well-designed outdoor products that will help you achieve the best experience possible. You should also feel good about what you buy. Customer satisfaction is very important to us, which is why we carry a no-questions-asked money back guarantee on every product we sell.
Hiking Shoes and Boots: Hiking footwear should fit well and provide support on off-road terrain. For low impact day trips, a pair of lightweight, low-profile hiking shoes will usually be sufficient. If you're headed up Mt. Fuji on the Kawaguchiko route, try a more supportive pair of mid-height boots for increased support. For more intense, multi-day backpacking trips, a taller, heavier and more supportive trekking boot can help prevent rolled ankles and foot strain. Look for boots with Gore-Tex® and other waterproof treatments if you might be hiking in wet or snowy weather. Shop hiking boots
Hiking Socks: When it comes to preventing uncomfortable feet, having a few good pairs of socks is as important as having well-made boots. During the warm season, a light to midweight sock is usually preferred. Heavyweight trekking socks are best during winter and for lengthy backpacking trips which require increased cushioning. Look for socks that wick moisture and feature flat seams, added cushioning and durable fibers. Shop hiking socks
Backpacks: A proper pack must be suited to your activity, be it day hikes, short weekend trips or weeklong backpacking treks. Look for breathable mesh panels for better ventilation, adjustable padded shoulder straps, padded waist belts, compression straps and gear tie downs. Always make sure a pack has adequate carrying capacity and proper design for your particular needs. For added convenience, look for a hydration compatible pack. Of course, sizing is also very important. Some packs feature highly adjustable features, like Lowe Alpine's Torso Fit® system, making them better suited to your individual body structure.
