Hiking Scarves

Recommendations for buyers

• ✓
  Fabric Weight (GSM)

  Select a lower GSM (130-150) for summer breathability and moisture management, or a higher GSM (200+) for essential winter insulation.
• ✓
  UV Protection Factor

  For high-altitude trekking, ensure the scarf specifies a UPF 50+ rating to protect your skin from intense UV radiation.
• ✓
  Moisture Wicking Capabilities

  Look for synthetic blends like polyester-spandex or natural wool that pull sweat away from the skin to prevent chilling during rest periods.
• ✓
  Versatility and Length

  Choose a longer tube design (approx. 50cm) which allows the scarf to be converted into a balaclava, headband, or beanie as weather conditions change.
