Clothing I recommend for HIKING 

YOUR advice on kit is especially valued BECAUSE YOU GO OUT ON SUCH LONG and challenging treks in all sorts of weather. Many RU-vidrs 'test' their kit on overnighters and we learn little about functionality in the long haul.

It’s so pleasant to listen to your information on these items. Thanks girl, stay safe.

That was a very well presented and informative blog. Look forward to your next hike 😁

Worth pointing out the Altra Lone Peak 5 are zero drop shoes. Take some getting used to, I personally wouldn't just put a pair on and go and do a massive hike, and I'd argue most people would likely need to work up to it, as they do affect the way your foot mechanics work. Calves will definitely feel it for a while 👌

I’ve binge watched 5/6 of your videos since last night.. who needs Netflix or Amazon Prime 😁. Very informative Vlog. 👍👍

Excellent presentation Becky. I find Under Armour long-sleeved polo neck compression base layers are really good. Keeps your body and neck warm. I use them for golf and hiking in the Autumn and Winter.

More bothy stays and adventures please!! This was a good guide. Cheers.

i wear sandals all year round, Merrell are good quality 🩴👡

Having only taken up hiking recently a lot of my kit is crossover with running, because I already had it! Asics Fujitrabuco trail runners are my shoes, Under Armour Crew socks have served me well on multiple runs and hikes and I also have a pair of Velochampion sunglasses with changeable lenses (dark, yellow and clear) which are lightweight and hard wearing. Got a Christmas present which I really like as well, Wiggle sell DHB baselayers which are merino and mostly meant for cycling but they are a lot cheaper than most of the hiking brands. Only used it twice so far on day hikes, but it's very cold and windy in Scotland right now and I felt my core temp was a lot more consistent than with the running t-shirts that are usually my base layer, plus my arms were covered. Only small criticism is that there's no thumb holes as Becky mentioned. Lastly got a really cheap fleece buff to take my order over the threshold for free shipping when I was buying some freeze dried food, but mine has a drawstring on it so can also be worn as a hat.

Hi Becky, Very informative and very good recommendations. Thank you for sharing with us. Can’t wait for the next adventure. Take care !!

Hi Becky, hope you doing ok? Ain't seen any of your videos for a few weeks. Have to catch up again. I just want to say that when I'm stressed out in my life, which I am at the moment. I always come back to your channel, cuz your videos are so calming and good for the soul. You're such a nice person with a warmth of character to you that you instantly make me feel chilled out. Thank you so much for your videos. They have inspired me so much and helped me to find balance in my life. Cheers, take care 😀

Great info becky I've just bought quite a lot of rab stuff in christmas sales .glad to hear it good enough for you it will do me well x

What a brilliant video. So informative and interesting. You're the best Becks.we luv ya 💗

Ty. That was fun/happy/informative.

Thank you for the detailed recs! I've been meaning to get a pair of Fjallraven trousers or leggings.

Brilliant video. Thank you for sharing. I like the rab stuff you have. I have a rab down jacket but I've lost weight since I bought it so it's too big. Same with my trousers and rucksack. I'm gonna slowly start buying things in my size but it's expensive and can't do it all at once. My girlfriend has just bought me a woman's berghaus pack so hopefully this will fit better on future walks. When walking the West Highland way last September I was forever pulling my old one up onto my hips. I will definitely consider some of your recommendations when buying my new clothes and kit. Thank you. Off to watch more of your Cape wrath trail 😊 I'm loving it

Thanks for the video I always enjoy watching them !! Take care!!

There are a good number of quality British clothing manufacturers but Rab gear is my favourite, and you can often find their lines massively reduced if you look around. Recently bought a new Zenith waterproof reduced by £100.

I think this is one of the best outdoor channels on all of RU-vid. Always looking forward to your next video!

Great video and recommendations. I wish I was able to do those hikes like you do but at my age and previous injuries it's not possible. But I really enjoy watching your adventures. Stay safe and healthy.

Some great tips again thanks Becky😀

Un gran video, Becky! Se aprende mucho.

Been a long time since I dropped by, sorry. Life has been a bit too busy and not allowed much fun. Good to see you are still having a good time outside!

Lowa boots excellent choice 👌🏻

I agree with you about the Rab gaiters. I bought some a couple of years ago. I wasn't sure at first as there are other well reviewed brands out there. Must have used them at least 50-60 times now and they have performed great. The press studs, lace clips, velcro and boot straps have all held up very well and they still look great after a wash. Great review Becks, keep up the good work :-)

Waaaaa, I'm so chuffed. Thanks for sharing the Keen boots/midboot! I'm a size 2.5uk/euro 35 and struggle to find boots as they often start at a 4. I've seen they go down to a 2.5 and even their kids range is decent. I need the ankle support as broke my ankle fell running in the Black Mountains on Valentines Day 2018, so trainers are a no go on most of my hikes, unless I wear an ankle support underneath, which I try to avoid. Needless to say I can't wait to try on a pair of those boots/try out their brand. H X

Suggestion- on your Rab gaiters, cut a piece of climbers webbing to slide over the straps that run under your feet. This will protect the straps better and extend the life of your gaiters.

Great video Becky, just ordered a pair of lone peak 5s

Very informative and well explained Becky.

Nice video Becky. Very well presented. You always have great content.

Hi Becks. Great video. I definitely prefer ankle support up in the hills but for a lot of bog & river crossings those lightweight ones are more suitable. Difficult to take both because of the weight. On some 3 day hikes with streams to cross I've worn my walking boots but packed some light flip flops. No good for the Cape Wrath trail though ! Take care mate xx

I can't believe you are not sponsored by Rab. Basically I have bought Rab gear because of you. They should sponsor you now ! lol

Very nicely explained and informative, fantastic upload.

Very informative video, Becky. Love your hair at the moment with your long fringe.

Awesome video seeing your recommended gear! Super informative :)

I'm happy I get to pick up your posts again.

Some great tips and equipment mate. You're right about layering being important, but it's awesome how you kept your stuff small enough to fit in your pack, along with all the other gear. And keeping your head warm...ive stuck a bean on in the hammock, bit chilly to start with, but instant heat once that went on and even have to take if off once laying down to not cook like a turkey. As soon as you got the giggles, I knew you were going to say turn the pants inside out 😂 Great rundown kid, thoroughly enjoyed this one....vsry informative

RAB is great gear I am mega fan too - those Keen boots look interesting as after a good mid boot

Hi Becky, good video. Good advice as always ❤️

For the winter you should look at Buffalo clothing. It's pretty much all I use below about 5 Celsius.

We always use an assortment of shoes too 🤙. You never know what type of terrain you’ll encounter. Good stuff 👍

Great tips Becky.😍

The best raingear I've ever had and still use is a 2GoSystems poncho... Jackets, shells, and all the rest don't compare to a good poncho that can also be repurposed as a bivy, tarp, and ground cloth can't be beaten. It can also cover your pack and you as your hiking keeping it dry as well. Good luck with all the rest.

Thanks Becky. I want those two Rab jackets. If I was to choose one which one would you say to invest into first or most important?

I think merino baselayers are the best any make around 70 or 80% wool.👍

Great, informative video Becky :-)

Thank you for the video

Another useful video keep up the good work

That’s difference from the U.S. and over seas. We have so many collage companies that are developing new equipment.

Very informative video as usual. Thanks for confirming the Keen boots are a good buy as I am thinking of getting a pair to help with my feet. What were the type you presented on the video.?

I still like to hike in jeans and t shirt. Even in winter. Footwear.. north face boots.

I think that it was the Garmin Inreach Mini beacon / tracker that you used on the Cape Wrath trail. What made you choose this over the Spot 4?

One bit off kit I can recommend are buffalo jackets. My jacket has sadly bitten the dust after 20 years off a lot of use and abuse and I definitely will be getting a new one.

nice plenty of fresh Trail Waters

thanks for sharing, i've always been curious about base layers, i have trouble getting it right with clothes, i walk and cycle, sports bras give me a mono boob lol 😂

Thank you

Good video I enjoyed watching it:)

Great video for hikers :-)

😊

Good vid Becky, what did you say the sock brand was please ? Go Outdoors only have merino mix brands

In 1977, I joined REI Coop. Bought a lot of items from them over the years. Fast forward to 2015. They refused to honor my previous coop status and points. Never again.

boots wise i need heavy boots..having nuts n bolts through my ankle and heel joints they wont bend unless they have weight on . but yeah i agree with your choices wholeheartedly .(Old forces tip for hot feet at night .dunk feet in cold water dry them and jump in your sleeping bag) woooo toasty .would love to try revolution race gear but the web only is a pain ..i get cheesed off sending stuff back for the next size . only reason i got dollops of overpriced totally unwaterproof fjallraven kebs .. useless for winter being an elasticky tights type fabric on the

👍

Excellent, greetings from sunny Ft Lauderdale.

Check out outdoor vitals.

Muito bom

Nice 👍

Where is the video recorded, it looks so cozy and delicious almost a place you would like to live.

i'm old and thicc and v self-conscious, prefer to cover up certain parts, i like tops / coats that cover up the posterior end lol

hello from belgium , your video is very interesting

My Bigfoot suit gives me a lot of problems with chaffing 🤕

Thanks for sharing Becky! Love the new hairstyle! 👍😉

Clothing is difficult as comfort is costly...I find myself wearing rags at the fire pit so sparks will not destroy, create ember beds in my more expensive outdoor gear such as Arcteryx. Pay now cry later but one does become aware of sharp branches, bob-wire fences, drooling cattle, and other snags out to eat your expensive outdoor investments. Sometimes just LEVIS is so stress free! Cheers!

Gday Becks from Down Under!! I was wondering about your permanent little camp set up you share with us. Is that on your home property or a holiday house property? I cant imagine its on public land because I know I couldnt trust people here not to loot everything if it was on public land. Thanks. Love your channel and the effort you put into editing every video!!!! Its like a little Hollywood movie for me every time I see a new upload ;)

So Rab is your sponsor?

How is the love boy still with him.xx

Você é muito bonita.

Becky don't you wear gloves ? 💖

First comment to me Bex 😂

i didn't know about the wool underwear, i never even thought about it cuz cyclists have to go commando due to chafing... 🥴

It's not fair, I wish we big boys could get a sports bra 😅

How beautiful is she! I would have her and forget the fairies in the heaven. It's just the beginning of my love, wait and see how will I end up in bed with her later. To get her, I would forget all morals, all ethics and even God in the heaven.

Rab couldn’t buy the publicity that you give them,you should get them to sponsor you at the very least…

As long as you keep talking RAB up for free you will never get sponsored by them.

Bah humbug who needs clothes .
