The author argues that winter hiking can be more enjoyable than hiking in warmer seasons due to benefits such as accessible parking at trailheads, no active bears, and reduced pollen for allergy sufferers. Drawing from personal experience in Montana and travel writings, the author shares plans to hike in the Dolomites and lists fourteen essential winter hiking items. Recommendations include fleece-lined leggings and a Lululemon half-zip base layer, emphasizing functionality and warmth for cold weather hikes.
These fleece-lined leggings with more than 25,000 five-star ratings perform best on below-freezing days. They come in dozens of colors and three styles, including the four-pocket, water-resistant pair I wore in Norway last month.
For a brand that got its start in yoga studios, Lululemon has quite the collection of winter clothes. I used to work at Lululemon, and I frequently stocked up on essentials like this half-zip, which sees a lot of use from November through March.
