Hiking

37°C is the internal temperature that our body must maintain, summer and winter alike, in order to function properly. But how does our body adapt to a heatwave?

When you're trekking or hiking, your body is put to a severe test: temperature variations, perspiration, friction, exposure to the sun or wind. Your hiking clothing should enable you to regulate your body temperature, stay dry and avoid discomfort over long distances.

What's ideal? Technical clothing that can adapt to the conditions: lightweight, breathable and thermoregulating.

The body works like a thermostat, but it has its limits. During intense exertion in the great outdoors, it activates several mechanisms to cool itself down:

▪️ Sweating: this evacuates heat, but can also lead to a loss of water and minerals.

▪️ Vasodilation: blood vessels dilate to dissipate heat more efficiently.

▪️ Accelerated breathing: helps regulate internal temperature.

HYPERTHERMIA AND HYPOTHERMIA: THE RISKS WHEN TREKKING

The wrong choice of trekking clothing can put your body at risk

❌ Hyperthermia occurs in excessive heat, when the body is no longer able to evacuate heat. Fatigue, headaches and heat stroke can ruin your outing.

❄️ Hypothermia can occur even in summer, particularly at high altitudes or after rain, if your clothing is unsuitable.

With the right hiking equipment, you can better manage these variations and avoid the dangers.

To help your body stay cool, adopt the right habits:

1.Hydrate regularly, even if you're not thirsty.
2.Wear light, loose-fitting cotton or linen clothing.
3.Stay in the shade and avoid strenuous exercise in the heat.
4.Take cool showers and baths.
5.Use cooling towels to soothe yourself.

▪️ Choose breathable clothing: it wicks away perspiration and prevents dampness.

▪️ Opt for good trekking underwear: a lightweight, moisture-repellent technical T-shirt will improve your comfort over time.

▪️ Protect your body from the sun: choose anti-UV and cooling fabrics.

▪️ Wear clothes that are adapted to temperature variations: a breathable T-shirt with a windproof mid-layer means you can cope with any climate.

▪️ Don't neglect accessories: a cap, cooling towel and technical socks make all the difference.
