Full Speed Ahead: What Is Speed Hiking?

Are you looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy the great outdoors? Eager to challenge yourself and push your limits? Then speed hiking is the sport for you.

Speed hiking is all about enjoying the beauty of nature and connecting with yourself while moving as fast and as efficiently as possible in the great outdoors. It's a great way to get a good workout, explore new trails and challenge yourself to reach new limits. Speed hiking is perfect for those who enjoy hiking but want to add an extra element of challenge and excitement to their outings.


Gear Up for Fast Hiking

When it comes to equipment, speed hiking requires the same basic gear as traditional hiking, such as sturdy hiking shoes and a backpack. However, it's important to choose gear that's specifically designed for speed hiking, as this is a more demanding activity and requires the sort of equipment which can handle the increased pace and rough terrain.


Here's what you need to have in your speed hiking kit:

Lightweight, Breathable Clothing

Look for clothing that is lightweight, breathable and quick to dry. This will help you stay cool and comfortable during your hike. The TERREX XPERIOR apparel has an adaptable design, so you can wear it exactly how you want to and move how you need to. Plus, the collection is designed to offer room for everything you need out on the trails - from directions to fuel.


Hiking Boots

Invest in a pair of walking boots that are specifically designed for speed hiking. Look for shoes that have good grip, support and stability, but which are still flexible enough to allow you to run in them.

Made for fast and efficient movements on all mountain terrain, the TERREX Skychaser Tech Mid GORE-TEX fuses the best technologies for lightweight support. What's more, the asymmetrical lacing helps with a snug fit and a secure heel lock down.


Accessories

Backpack: The first must-have item for speed hiking is a good backpack which can hold all your belongings.

Hat: Hats always come in handy to either keep you warm or shield your face from the sun or tree branches.

Socks: Wear sweat-wicking socks that come up above your shoes in order to prevent blisters.

Hiking poles: Another item which should make its way into your kit are hiking poles. And if they're lightweight, even better.
 

The rest of the equipment heavily depends on the tour.
