28 Hiking Essentials If You’ve Become An Outdoorsy Person Since Lockdown Ended

hiking gear

I’ve never needed hiking gear in the past, but all of a sudden I’ve become a real outdoorsy person. I’d like to thank isolation for making me crave wide, open spaces and arduous climbs to the top of mountains.

Now, when I say hiking gear, I don’t mean the super professional stuff. I mean the stuff made for newbies like me – and probably you. Affordable hiking boots. Backpacks that are waterproof and will stock your snacks and so on efficiently. Fitness watches that are easy to read. Jackets to keep you warm in the country. All that good stuff.

Since I’m looking for this hiking gear at the moment, I figured I’d use my google searches for good use – and give you guys a run down, too.

Here’s the best hiking gear I’ve found around the online traps in Australia.
