Hiking accessories
Besides the right outdoor outfit, there are several hiking accessories you shouldn't be without on a hike, from drinking systems by Camelbak to care products by Nikwax. Some accessories make carrying water easier, boost your safety, or protect you from the sun. Below you can read which hiking accessories are available.
What outdoor accessories are there?
Among the hiking accessories you'll find a wide range of handy items that can come in useful during a hike. While one accessory boosts your safety, others keep your head nice and cool or warm while walking. Hiking accessories are divided into outdoor caps and hats, neckwarmers, reflection, and drinking systems.
Outdoor caps and hats
In the outdoor caps and hats category you'll find various caps suited to hiking, protecting you from the sun and effectively wicking away sweat. In winter you can lose a lot of heat through your head. Wearing an outdoor hat reduces this heat loss and better retains warmth around your head.
Neckwarmer while hiking
If a hat or cap doesn't offer enough protection, you could also wear a neckwarmer as well. A neckwarmer is made from soft material and looks like a long tube, keeping your neck nice and warm while hiking. A neckwarmer comes in one size, and the stretchy material makes it suitable for young and old alike.
Reflective vest while hiking
Under reflection you'll find all kinds of reflective items such as a reflective vest or LED arm lighting. These improve safety by making you clearly visible in the dark or in poor weather conditions. Do you go for a reflective vest, or would you rather wear a small light around your arm while hiking?
Drink enough while hiking
If you're heading out on a long hike, it's not a bad idea to bring something to eat and drink. At Plutosport.nl you'll find various drinking systems such as a bottle, hydration pack or thermos flask that also lets you bring along a nice hot tea or coffee. Depending on how you picture the hike, you can choose a matching drinking system. If you prefer covering many kilometres without too many breaks, a hydration pack might suit you better so you can drink while walking.
