Looking good in your hiking boots
by Sylvia Matitschka
The outdoor season is fast approaching, and with it hiking, expeditions and camping in the great outdoors. We'll guide you through the jungle of technologies, materials and brands to help you find the outdoor gear you need.
Over the next few pages, we'll explain what you need to consider when buying outdoor jackets, rucksacks and footwear, tents, sleeping bags and trekking mats and suggest a few models and brands best suited to your requirements and needs.
For me, sport is passion, joy and recharging my batteries at the same time. In my free time you can find me outside training, on the tennis court, on the slopes with my board or surfing in the waves.
As product manager for the outdoor sector, I can thus fully live out my enthusiasm for the world of sport in my job.
