This summer, hiking has surged in popularity among outdoor enthusiasts seeking fresh air and stunning views. Proper gear is crucial for safe, enjoyable adventures across France's diverse landscapes—from the Alps to Ardèche and Corsica.
After years of restrictions, hiking offers the perfect blend of exercise, mental reset, and discovery. As experienced outdoor experts, we recommend equipping yourself with reliable apparel and accessories tailored to varying conditions. Stay hydrated and layer wisely. Here's our curated selection featuring premium Helly Hansen pieces trusted by seasoned hikers.
For rugged trails, choose pants that prioritize comfort and functionality. Helly Hansen's lightweight pants with five practical pockets offer ample storage and unrestricted movement—ideal for scaling peaks.
In cooler regions, a versatile sweatshirt is key. Helly Hansen's semi-technical, breathable fabric ensures all-day comfort, while the oversized hood provides shelter from unexpected rain.
A high-quality base layer makes or breaks a hike. This Helly Hansen t-shirt, crafted from recycled polyester jersey, excels in moisture-wicking and stretch for fluid motion without overheating.
Stumble upon a scenic swim spot? Helly Hansen's elastic swim shorts deliver freedom in water, plus UPF 50+ sun protection to shield your skin from UV rays.
Head protection is non-negotiable on exposed trails. Helly Hansen's stylish, fast-drying cap safeguards against heatstroke, blending performance with everyday appeal.
Expert hikers know footwear is foundational. TSUGA's leather ankle boots feature a dual-sole system: flexible EVA inner for lightness and studded outer for superior grip. Their retro style suits all genders and ensures stability from start to summit.
A well-fitted backpack is indispensable. For long hauls, Helly Hansen's 45L Resistor Backpack offers full adjustability, a secure key pocket, and sternum strap whistle. For shorter outings or daily use, the Oslo Backpack is a versatile unisex choice.
