As we head into September and the first hints of Autumn make themselves known, weve scoured our favourite brands (and some that are new-to-us) to bring you our pick of the best outdoor gear to see you through the coming season.Summer is the time when most of us spend more time than ever outdoors, but personally, camping aside, its my least favourite time of year for hiking. Trails are crowded and its almost impossible to carry enough water to see you through a full day of hill walking. Add the heatwaves we experienced this year here in the UK, and big day hikes are generally much less about fun, becoming more of an endurance activity.For this reason, late autumn in particular carries far more appeal than the height of summer, and its when my own activities switch from lazy campsite weekends to more active pursuits. If, like me, you love spending time outdoors in autumn, heres the latest gear to tempt you into an upgrade. From walking boots to snuggly sherpa fleeces, this is the gear were lusting after this season.
