Is hiking one of your favourite activities? To be comfortable, whether you're doing a 5-kilometre walk or a 3-day trek in the desert, you'll need clothing that's both suitable for hiking and capable of effectively protecting your skin from the sun's rays.

Some women simply choose to wear a long-sleeved UV T-shirt, while others prefer a UV hiking shirt. The most important thing is to choose clothes that are suitable for hiking, as these are designed to be breathable and quick-drying, giving you maximum comfort and freshness. What's more, hiking is not a risk-free activity for your clothes. For your bottoms, it's best to opt for UV hiking pants that are resistant to abrasion and snags.

Whether you're an occasional hiker or a club Nordic walker, protecting your head and face from the sun is essential. A good UV hat should be lightweight and have wide brims or a veil at the nape of the neck.

You should also remember to protect your hands, which are also highly exposed to UV rays when hiking. UV mittens or gloves are an excellent solution for dealing with the dangers of the sun and preventing the appearance of brown spots. Are you more comfortable wearing a short-sleeved UV protection T-shirt? We recommend wearing UV protective sleeves to protect your arms.
