What to Wear Autumn Hiking: The Power of Layering
What to wear for autumn hiking? Proper layering is key
Colorful forests, fresh air, and stunning views. Autumn is the perfect time for hiking, but changeable weather can take you by surprise.
The foundation of a comfortable trip is functional clothing and proper layering. We’ll show you how to combine individual layers so you can enjoy your autumn adventure to the fullest.
3 layers that won't let you down
Functional T-shirt
Wicks sweat away from the skin and keeps you comfortable while moving.
Insulating layer
A sweatshirt or fleece helps retain body heat when it cools down.
Protective jacket
A windbreaker or waterproof jacket protects you from wind and rain.
Start with a functional shirt
The first layer is directly on your skin, so it is important that it wicks away moisture well and dries quickly. In autumn, you'll appreciate a long-sleeved shirt that won't overheat you during activity.
Functionality even on longer trips

Don't forget the details
Comfort on a hike isn't just about the jacket. Accessories that protect you from the cold and make every step more enjoyable are equally important.
Functional socks
They help wick away moisture and increase walking comfort. The right size and appropriate footwear are essential.
Hat and gloves
They take up minimal space in your backpack, but you'll appreciate them in cold winds or during breaks.
Dry layer in your backpack
A spare T-shirt and rain protection come in handy if the weather changes during the trip.
How to avoid overheating or getting chilled during a hike?
Adjust your clothing to both the weather and the intensity of your movement. You'll warm up during an incline, but your body can cool down quickly at the summit or during a break.
- Don't dress too warmly at the start.
- Take off a layer during demanding climbs to prevent unnecessary sweating.
- Put on a sweatshirt or jacket before taking a longer break.
- Check the weather forecast for the specific area before your hike.
Autumn hiking starts with proper layering
A functional shirt, warm sweatshirt, and protective jacket form the foundation of a comfortable hike. Pair them with suitable socks and footwear, and adjust each layer to current conditions.
Enjoy every step in autumn nature.
