There’s nothing like being outside on a warm summer’s day. Whether you want to hit your favourite running trails, explore a new long-distance footpath, or enjoy yoga in the early morning sun, summer is the best time for getting outside.
Best of all, you can keep your big winter jackets in the wardrobe. But the heat brings different challenges when it comes to what to wear on your next adventure.
To get the most out of summer, we’ve teamed up with Skechers to help you choose the right kit for warm weather.
Read on to find out what you should look for when gearing up for your summer adventures.
All-day comfort
Comfortable shoes are a must for summer adventures. While you still want a shoe that’s supportive, with a cushioned sole and an outsole with good traction, you’ll also want a shoe that offers plenty of ventilation,
It’s well-known that Skechers are among the most comfortable shoes on the market, and for summer, their D’Lux Journey trainers are ideal.
With an engineered knit upper, it’s highly breathable, and the air-cooled memory foam will help keep your feet cool and comfortable for long days on the trail.
Lightweight and breathable
A good base layer is important at any time of year, and when it comes to the heat of summer, it’s more likely that your base layer will be your only layer.
To keep cool and comfortable, you want a lightweight layer that’s breathable and moisture-wicking. This will keep you dry against sweat, and help keep you cool while you’re active.
We love a casual T-shirt like Skechers’ GO DRI Swift Tee, which is the perfect staple shirt: stylish enough to wear around town but dependable for adventuring, with its quick-drying brushed fabric, UPF 40 protection, and a 4-way active stretch.
When it’s not quite warm enough to get away with just wearing a T-shirt, a versatile mid-layer such as Skechers’ GO WALK Wear Mesh jacket is just what you need.
It’s designed to be worn as activewear, so you won’t need to take it off as you start working up a sweat with its moisture-wicking fabric, but it’s warm and comfortable enough to also wear casually on cooler summer nights.
Versatility
Because you don’t need multiple, heavy layers to stay comfortable on warm days, versatile clothes that can seamlessly transition from hiking along mountain trails to sitting down with friends for a coffee in town are the best choice.
That’s why Skechers’ GO WALK Wear HW legging is ideal for summer adventures. With a moisture-wicking nylon and spandex blend and chafe-free seams, it’s all-day comfortable whether you’re running or just heading to the shops.
And with roomy pockets, you don’t have to leave your phone, wallet, and keys behind.
