About outdoor hiking shoes

Simple outdoor equipment: the personal outdoor equipment of a general donkey friend consists of the following parts:

Backpack tent sleeping bag moisture-proof pad shoes

Here is a brief introduction.

Backpack:

Generally, one is large and one is small, which can meet the outdoor trip of 1- 4 days. Generally, the large backpack is about 50L-70L, depending on the individual's bearing capacity and equipment quantity. Personally, I think that 50L for girls with average physical strength is enough for her to carry equipment and food for 2-3 days, while 60L for boys. Xiao Bao only prepares for one or more days of activities, and does not camp. Generally, it is 20-35L in size. If the road is easy and the climbing intensity is not strong, you can use a schoolbag instead.

When making a real choice, in addition to the budget, the most important thing is to pay attention to whether the backpack fits, the adjustment range of the backpack must conform to the back length, and the style and comfort of the backpack should be tried before choosing. Avoid touching the frame or top pocket when looking up. Whether there are enough cushions at all parts of the backpack that touch the body, check the firmness of the inner frame and stitching of the backpack. Pay special attention to the thickness and quality of the shoulder strap, check whether there are chest straps, belts, shoulder straps and their adjustment belts, as well as the role of rings, ice cone rings, crampons and pressure belts, and the zipper should be convenient and firm.

Tent:

If it's a girl, don't look, because the outdoor principle is "girls don't have to bring tents." As for the choice of various tents, the first consideration is the use, followed by the budget. Generally divided into ordinary low-altitude outdoor tents and mountain tents. As far as ordinary tents are concerned, ordinary low-altitude tents have good waterproof performance and relatively light weight; Alpine tents have strong windproof performance and good stability.

Specific analysis: Glass fiber poles are the main tent poles in the market, and a few aluminum alloy poles are lower in price, but heavier, which is more than three times that of aluminum alloy poles alone. And the glass fiber rod will break under cold environment and sudden impact. Therefore, some manufacturers claim that their glass fiber rods are from South Korea, Japan and the United States, which only shows that the flexibility and impact resistance of this glass fiber rod are stronger than those produced in China. But glass fiber rods can never surpass aluminum alloy rods. Recently, carbon fiber rods and titanium alloy rods have appeared, both of which are relatively top-grade materials. Aluminum alloy rods are also divided into Korean, Japanese and American. The price of Korean sticks is relatively cheap. It is said that the toughness of Japanese and American bars exceeds that of Korean bars. If you only travel around Beijing, the load-bearing requirements are not high, and glass fiber poles are enough. There is no need to spend more money in pursuit of enjoyment. In addition, the tent cloth is the key, especially the rain-proof performance of the outer tent cloth. This index is calculated according to the number of millimeters of water per square centimeter. Generally, tents are above 1500mm water column, which can prevent moderate to heavy rain; Individual reaches 3000-4000mm, which can prevent continuous heavy rain. High-quality rain-proof tarpaulin not only has high rain-proof index, but also has rich adhesive tape at the joint of tarpaulin to prevent water seepage at the joint. However, although the rainproof index of the outer tarpaulin is high, ventilation is a problem. Even on a sunny night without rain, after sleeping, the tent will still be covered with water droplets, especially on the wet ground such as grass. If it accumulates more, it will drip into the internal account. Relatively speaking, the water in the outer tent with low rain index is less than that with high rain index. These are the water vapor exhaled by the residents in the tent, and the water droplets gathered by the steam inside the tent. Because the tent outside is rain-proof, the rain outside can't get in and the steam inside can't get out. So when you get up in the morning, avoid shaking the tent hard and be careful of the light rain. In this way, in order to make the tent have excellent rain-proof effect, attention should be paid to the spacing between the upper and lower tarpaulins when building. In this way, even if the waterproof index of the tent is lower, the rain just drops on the outer tent, and then slides to the ground along the outer tent, unable to penetrate the inner tent. In particular, don't let the items in the tent press down on the inner account and stick to the outer account, such as the soles of larger backpacks and sleeping bags. The inner curtain is generally made of ordinary gauze, and the better one is made of gauze and cotton cloth. When the weather is hot, the cotton cloth layer is rolled up and only depends on the gauze layer for ventilation. When it is cold, put down the cotton cloth layer to keep warm. Internal account is a key material that is easily overlooked. At present, most tents are woven fiber soles, which feel very thick and durable, but in fact, the waterproof and wear-resistant performance is poor. The fiber woven net is easy to crack after water seepage, folding and exposure. Oxford cloth wear-resistant soles are used in a few inner curtains, which are relatively thin, but they can definitely stand the test of outdoor environmental changes.

Sleeping bag:

It is divided into wool, cotton, down and feather cotton. The specific difference is the scope of application and weight. The function of polar fleece is used in summer (except to die in the mountains), which you can understand as a double towel quilt. Cotton sleeping bags are relatively heavy, and the temperature scale they reach varies according to different materials, generally-10-+5 degrees. Feathers have the advantages of light weight and good warmth retention, but they are expensive.

According to styles, there are mainly three kinds of sleeping bags, rectangular (also called envelope type), mummy type and mixed type. Rectangular ones are mainly used for traveling in summer, because they are spacious and comfortable to sleep, but the warmth retention effect is much worse than that of mummies. The rectangular sleeping bag with the same temperature grade is much heavier than the other two. Mommy's sleeping bag has an absolute advantage in outdoor sports. Sleeping in a mummy can't turn over at will, and tall people are uncomfortable to use. But because it is absolutely important to keep warm outdoors, most people choose mummies rationally. In addition, the mummy's weight and volume are the smallest among several sleeping bags. Mixed type is also called semi-rectangle. It is more spacious than a mummy and smaller than a rectangle, which is a better compromise. Most professional outdoor products manufacturers are mummies, and only a few manufacturers provide mixed products.

The specific use temperature depends on the specific indicators, which are generally displayed by XXXg. Generally, the lowest down temperature of 300g can reach 0 to -5, and the comfortable temperature of 500g-600g is -8 to-10,800 to 1200g can reach-15 to-25,65400. Here, I want to make it clear that sleeping bags generally have two labels, a comfortable temperature and an extreme temperature scale, and the comfort level of that extreme temperature varies from person to person! How to choose a sleeping bag?

If you need to buy sleeping bags outdoors in winter, you should pay attention to the following questions when choosing: 1. Try to buy down sleeping bags. A sleeping bag filled with artificial materials is about the size of a down sleeping bag when opened, but it is much larger to carry. In addition, sleeping bags filled with artificial materials are also heavy. Down sleeping bags are relatively expensive, but they have strong warmth and are smaller in weight and volume than artificial materials. Choosing down sleeping bags can't just refer to the temperature scale, because many sleeping bags are based on the physique of Europeans and Americans.

Generally speaking, Asians have relatively low cold resistance, so we should add 10-20 degrees to the temperature scale of sleeping bags. Because the quality of outdoor products is uneven now, you can buy sleeping bag covers and go to the mall to mend the velvet yourself. At most, let the black-hearted businessmen sell you duck down as goose down, and there is little chance that others will be cheated. Duck down is cheap and goose down is expensive, but the actual warmth is not much different. Generally speaking, 800g to1000g cashmere is enough. When shopping, you must choose high-purity cashmere. 80%-90% purity is better. American brand sleeping bag with more than 700 filling power, very fluffy cashmere. Nowadays, many sleeping bags can be made of two sleeping bags with zippers. When buying sleeping bags, buy sleeping bags with different zippers with your partner. Generally speaking, men buy sleeping bags with right zippers and women buy sleeping bags with left zippers.

Moisture-proof pad:

To put it bluntly, it is a summer mat that prevents you from lying directly on the ground to prevent heat and moisture. It is divided into two types: inflatable and foam. Inflatable cushion is smaller but heavier than foam cushion, which is more comfortable but less cost-effective. Bubbles are super cheap, but exaggerated in winter. If you camp in the snow, the next day you will find that the snow under your cushion has melted and is not so inflatable. This is because the foam has good air permeability and poor heat preservation effect. Of course, there is no difference in the use effect except for the different packaging volume in winter. Specific choice: it doesn't hurt to give it a try: there are many styles, shapes and lengths of moisture-proof mats. If possible, you can try different styles of moistureproof mats before making a decision. There are still some questions you can consider: How soft a damp-proof pad do you need? How long and wide do you need a damp-proof mat? (There are single, double or multi-person moistureproof mats, and some are made very narrow to save space) Is it convenient to inflate, store and carry? Spend 25 yuan on a limited budget!

Shoes:

In fact, hiking shoes are the most popular equipment among all mountaineering equipment. Use, weight and waterproofness should be considered when purchasing. If you use the traditional line of light shoes, the cushioning force and weight are enough. Non-traditional routes can choose hard-soled shoes to provide better protection and improve stability and bearing capacity.

Generally divided into:

(1) Light hiking shoes: light, comfortable, quick-drying and easy to wear. The soles of these hiking shoes are soft.

Bonded with adhesive, the shoes are breathable and comfortable, and can adapt in a short time. Suitable for walking in mountainous areas with light load and good walking.

(2) Hiking shoes: emphasize the support of ankles, the stability of soles and the ability to cope with harsh conditions. When walking on rugged terrain, the hard sole can provide foot protection and support the stability of ankles and soles; Because ankles, heels and toes have enough support, it can improve the load-bearing ability and adapt to difficult terrain.

(3) Note: Activities during the day will make your feet swell, so it is best to buy shoes at night. No matter how many pairs of shoes fit you, try to walk for a few days and lengthen the walking distance. If blisters appear on the soles of your feet, add a pair of socks; If blisters appear on toes, wear thinner socks or remove insoles; If the heel is worn, fasten the shoelaces; If the ankle is bruised, the shoelaces will not be tied to the top hook groove.

(4) The following factors should be considered when choosing hiking shoes: the size of shoes: hiking shoes are used for long-distance travel, mountaineering, weight-bearing hiking, etc. When these hard walking activities last for more than half an hour, the feet begin to get hot and swollen, and when the intensity is high, there will often be slight swelling. In addition, going downhill with a load is a great test for your feet, and shoes need a certain degree of looseness to make your feet move freely. If the shoes are just the right size or tight, walking down the mountain for 10 minutes will hurt your feet. Matching socks: hiking shoes with medium-thick cotton socks or functional outdoor socks are beneficial to perspiration and protection. You shouldn't wear a slippery and thin nylon stockings.

About size: There are often different standards for the size of hiking shoes, such as American size and European size, in which the European size is consistent with the commonly used numbers in China. But even the same size standard, different shoes will have different sizes. European and American products are often divided into men's shoes and women's shoes, and women's shoes are slightly narrower than men's shoes. Female models are often 36-42, and male models are 39-46. Whether the same size is 4 1 or 40, the length of the female model is slightly longer than that of the male model. The width difference between men's and women's models has little effect on our use. Men often wear narrow feet, while women can wear thin feet (regardless of gender).

In view of the above factors, when choosing the size of hiking shoes, you'd better follow the following steps:

1, try it yourself

2. Try on shoes larger than your usual size or size one.

3. Try medium-thick cotton socks.

4. Put on insoles and cotton socks. After moderately tightening the shoelaces, push your toes forward, and then you can stretch a finger.

So you should choose hiking shoes of the right size.

Specific purchase (don't tell me that the price on the market is very high, and the price tag does not represent the final transaction price! ! Few old donkeys buy things from outdoor stores, but the online ones are very real and the market is expanding. (This quotation is the actual transaction price. Of course, it would be better if we were lucky enough to meet the manufacturer to clear the goods or break the code. Our goal is to buy only good ones, not expensive ones. The price of high-end products is generally 60% off the market price, and the price of first-and second-class equipment is 6.5-7% off. )

Backpack (big bag): according to the order of brand from simple to deep, I personally think it is.

First gear onepolar ACME K2 SUMMIT/ Pureland Prander (￥150-350)

Second gear vaude bigpack ferrino karrimor (counterfeit goods appear) Ferrino Mountain Smith Deuter Golite (300-1500)

The third osprey (because of personal factors, I don't like the bag O) MHW (Mountain Hardwear) North Face (it is highly recommended to buy, there are too many fakes) Kelty (the ultimate gear of some models) GraniteGeat (granite) LoweAlpine Gregory DanaDesign (old version, new version is Marmot) (800-2500).

MACHALE (800- 1500- unknown), the fourth archaeopteryx AARN.

Tent: In no particular order.

The first gear: ACME Toread (Pathfinder) Pureland (Puland) K2 SUMMIT/ Cato Peak Snow Wolf/Snow Wolf Korea Skyler (notorious, torn) (150-500).

The second file: EUROHIKE Holiday Lafuma pastoral Gaudi LUXE (this recommendation is cost-effective) (300-900).

The third gear: Ozak, a hiker in low-lying mountains (personally, everything in this brand is overpriced), black yak (500- 1300).

The fourth file: overall design of MHW MSR TNF Kelty Sierra Design Marmot Ferrino Reibiga (1500-5000).

Fifth gear: Bibler Hilleberg Stephenson (4000-No Music)

Dampproof mat: This is simple. Personally, I think it is either the cheapest or the most expensive. Foam 15-50 (expensive with aluminum film) is the most expensive, and ThermARest is self-filled with 650-900. If you want a general self-filling pad, Airwaves Artiach's skin pad is a good choice (200-400).

Sleeping bag: I'm not good at this either. After all, there are few extreme environments, so there is no need to burn too much.

Generally, it is a miscellaneous brand of fleece or cotton sleeping bag (30- 150).

Better ones are: Pure Land Prander K2 Peak/Kaitu Peak Acme( 150-800).

If there are certain requirements (such as weight and volume), you can choose: camp (not campus), Sintrtyx dragon bird, Shehe Shi Tian (300-2000).

You must burn bread: Ferino Western Mountaineering Serra Design MHW Stephenson (2000- I don't know)

Shoes: Beach shoes and upstream shoes can generally be replaced with non-slip sandals, and the general price is 100-800 Teva and so on. It's of little use, so I won't introduce it in detail. I'll deal with those short ones if necessary.

The emphasis is on hiking shoes (hiking shoes are generally replaced by hiking shoes)

The first file: Ran/Cedar Forest Camel/Camel Wild Alp/Mountain Peak (I think this is made in China with a relatively high cost performance, and I haven't seen a fake one on the market, so it may not be cost-effective. The price on Taobao is very real) Cat Coleman/Coleman (200-500).

Second gear: Mehrer/Moore Colombia/Colombia HBN(500-800)

Third gear: Garmont Montrail la sportiva vasque Zamberlan Lowasscarpa (700-1600)

The fourth gear: I don't plan to go to the top of the snowy mountain, so I don't know, but the alpine shoes are all above 1500.

These are just some simple devices. After all, we are not professional travelers. My slogan is to do the most with the least money.
