you prefer a more traditional looking approach, shirts can be great for hiking in cool autumn weather.<\/p>\n<p>You can turn the collar up against the wind or button it against the cold \u2013 or unbutton when you want to cool down. The chest pockets are useful place to carry a compass or snack. If you choose a loose-fitting shirt, you can wear a T-shirt or base layer beneath.<\/p>\n<p>This shirt from British gear maker EDZ also has a discreet bonus: it\u2019s made from merino wool. That\u2019s great for keeping your temperature even. It feels comfortable next to your skin, and naturally absorbs moisture, while feeling dry. It also stays fresh-smelling despite repeated wears.<\/p>\n<p>The eco-conscious will also note the all-natural materials, which \u2013 unlike polyester \u2013 will eventually biodegrade safely.<\/p>\n<p>The downside of hiking in shirts is mainly in the layering. As your temperature changes through a walk, they can be more fiddly to remove than a pullover or zippered top, and you\u2019ll need to choose a loose midlayer that fits comfortably over the top; once you\u2019ve added a midlayer, the combination can feel a little bulky, partly thanks to the shirt pockets and collar.<\/p>\n<p>But in the right conditions \u2013 dry and cool autumn days among them \u2013 and with the right layers to compliment, a shirt like this is a pleasure to walk in.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"&quot;monetizer-in-text-link-list&quot;\"><li data-type=\"&quot;in-text&quot;\" class=\"&quot;monetizer-in-text-link&quot;\" data-config=\"'{&quot;nameKeywords&quot;:\" merino=\"\" wool=\"\" long=\"\" sleeve=\"\" flannel=\"\" data-text=\"&quot;&lt;b&gt;Buy\" now=\"\" from=\"\" and=\"\"> <\/li>\n<\/ul><script><![CDATA[ (function () { var s = document.createElement('script'); s.type = 'text\/javascript'; s.async = true; s.src = \"\/\/countryfile.com\/pricecomparison\/widget\/intext\/app.bundle.js\"; s.onload = function () { new inText({ domain: \"countryfile.com\/pricecomparison\", shopId: 1377, geolocation: true, }); }; var x = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; x.parentNode.insertBefore(s, x); \/\/trim whitespace from li to flag empty items (twig seems to strip out closing if you remove the space.....

been a bit sceptical about merino wool base layers, but this highly versatile and adaptable T-shirt changed my mind. I\u2019ve often found merino wool tops faintly itchy \u2013 but not this one; the loose fit probably helps.<\/p>\n<p>The lightweight, 56% merino\/44%\u00a0polyester fabric feels remarkably pleasant and breathable in warm weather, or when you are working hard uphill. It soaks up sweat without clinging to your skin, and dries out pretty fast. Then when things turn chilly, it insulates well beneath a shirt or jacket.<\/p>\n<p>There are various colour options and graphic designs to choose from, and men\u2019s and women\u2019s versions too. Finally, the T will stay remarkably fresh over a few days\u2019 walking, even without washing. (Men\u2019s version above, women\u2019s below.) <em>JP<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--aspect=\"\" style=\"&quot;padding-bottom:\" calc=\"\"> <picture><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/22\/2019\/11\/smartwool_SW017355B841_01-fd803de.jpeg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=199%2C199,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/22\/2019\/11\/smartwool_SW017355B841_01-fd803de.jpeg?quality=90&amp;resize=199%2C199,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/22\/2019\/11\/smartwool_SW017355B841_01-fd803de.jpeg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=236%2C236&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/22\/2019\/11\/smartwool_SW017355B841_01-fd803de.jpeg?quality=90&amp;resize=236%2C236&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/22\/2019\/11\/smartwool_SW017355B841_01-fd803de.jpeg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=269%2C269&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/22\/2019\/11\/smartwool_SW017355B841_01-fd803de.jpeg?quality=90&amp;resize=269%2C269&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/22\/2019\/11\/smartwool_SW017355B841_01-fd803de.jpeg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=369%2C369&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/22\/2019\/11\/smartwool_SW017355B841_01-fd803de.jpeg?quality=90&amp;resize=369%2C369&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/22\/2019\/11\/smartwool_SW017355B841_01-fd803de.jpeg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=413%2C413&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/22\/2019\/11\/smartwool_SW017355B841_01-fd803de.jpeg?quality=90&amp;resize=413%2C413&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/22\/2019\/11\/smartwool_SW017355B841_01-fd803de.jpeg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=271%2C271&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/22\/2019\/11\/smartwool_SW017355B841_01-fd803de.jpeg?quality=90&amp;resize=271%2C271&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/22\/2019\/11\/smartwool_SW017355B841_01-fd803de.jpeg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=370%2C370&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/22\/2019\/11\/smartwool_SW017355B841_01-fd803de.jpeg?quality=90&amp;resize=370%2C370&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><img class=\"&quot;wp-image-100769\" align=\"\" size-landscape_thumbnail=\"\" image-handler__image=\"\" image-handler__image--aspect=\"\" no-wrap=\"\" js-lazyload=\"\" data-src=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/22\/2019\/11\/smartwool_SW017355B841_01-fd803de.jpeg?quality=90&amp;resize=413%2C413&quot;\" width=\"&quot;620&quot;\" height=\"&quot;413&quot;\" alt=\"&quot;Smartwool\" women=\"\" sport=\"\" merino=\"\" t=\"\" shirt=\"\" title=\"&quot;smartwool_SW017355B841_01&quot;\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n<ul class=\"&quot;monetizer-in-text-link-list&quot;\"><li data-type=\"&quot;in-text&quot;\" class=\"&quot;monetizer-in-text-link&quot;\" data-config=\"'{&quot;nameKeywords&quot;:\" merino=\"\" sport=\"\" tee=\"\" not=\"\" women=\"\" data-text=\"&quot;&lt;b&gt;Buy\" now=\"\" for=\"\" men=\"\" from=\"\" and=\"\"> <\/li>\n<\/ul><script><![CDATA[ (function () { var s = document.createElement('script');

hollow to rest in the autumn sunshine. Time for one of the great pleasures of walking in autumn and winter: stopping for a few moments to appreciate the beauty of your surroundings and reward yourself for getting here \u2013 with a hot drink. Luckily you have a flask of hot coffee in your pack. On day hikes, when my pack is light, I like to carry a tough, stainless steel vacuum bottle like this 532ml bottle from Yeti. They are built to last and don\u2019t leak. They are also ruggedly good-looking and you can choose from a huge palette of colours. <em>JP<\/em><\/p>\n<ul class=\"&quot;monetizer-in-text-link-list&quot;\"><li data-type=\"&quot;in-text&quot;\" class=\"&quot;monetizer-in-text-link&quot;\" data-config=\"'{&quot;nameKeywords&quot;:\" rambler=\"\" oz=\"\" bottle=\"\" data-text=\"&quot;&lt;b&gt;Buy\" now=\"\" from=\"\" and=\"\"> <\/li>\n<\/ul><script><![CDATA[ (function () { var s = document.createElement('script'); s.type = 'text\/javascript'; s.async = true; s.src = \"\/\/countryfile.com\/pricecomparison\/widget\/intext\/app.bundle.js\"; s.onload = function () { new inText({ domain: \"countryfile.com\/pricecomparison\", shopId: 1377, geolocation: true, }); }; var x = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; x.parentNode.insertBefore(s, x); \/\/trim whitespace from li to flag empty items (twig seems to strip out closing if you remove the space.....
