What is the best gear for hiking?

Gearing Up to Hike

If you are a beginning hiker, one of the most important questions you may have is where to get all the necessary equipment it will take to make your hiking experience a positive one. A good pair of trail shoes or running shoes are perfect for beginners. While it is certainly possible to find decent discount gear, be careful and search for reputable companies. Luckily, there are quite a few of them. These include Sierra Designs, REI, North Face, Marmot, and many more. Doing a little research before you start stocking up on gear will prove to be beneficial in the long run.
