Beginner Guide and FAQ
Your first hike, in three quiet steps
1. Pick a trail under five miles. Look for well-marked loops with modest elevation. Your first goal is enjoyment, not distance.
2. Dress for the forecast, not the hope. A light waterproof shell, a warm layer, water, a snack and a way to navigate. That is the whole list.
3. Go slow, look up. Speed is not the point. Set an easy pace, bring the kids if you have them, and notice what the trail is showing you.
How to choose your size
- Open the size guide on the product page. Every listing shows bust or chest, length, shoulder and sleeve in centimeters and inches.
- Measure a jacket you already love and compare, rather than guessing from your usual letter size.
- Some pieces use Asian sizing and run about one size small. We say so on the page. When in doubt, size up.
- Leave room for a layer underneath if you plan to hike in cooler months.
- Still unsure? Email us your height and weight and a real person will recommend a size.
