How to choose waterproof trousers?
Waterproof trousers are not a sailor's oilskins. They must withstand rain, of course, but also preserve good freedom of movement, avoid uncomfortable chafing and prevent sweat from building up…
Wondering which trousers to wear in the rain? Rayonrando explains the features to consider and how to choose trousers suited to your activity.
But what are waterproof overtrousers? The name is perhaps clearer than waterproof trousers. This garment is generally worn over a first layer, trousers or shorts in summer. The cut must therefore be roomy enough to fit over that first layer, yet fitted and flexible enough not to restrict movement.
The best Therm-a-Rest inflatable hiking mats
Wondering which wild camping mat to choose? Therm-a-Rest may be the first name that comes to mind.
Choosing a Therm-a-Rest hiking mat means choosing both the leading brand and a dependable option:
- sleeping comfort (on your back or side, with firm or soft support to suit you, and insulation).
- low weight and compact size.
- ease of use and reliability.
The American brand has long been a global benchmark for high-performance trekking mats.
But which Therm-a-Rest should you choose? Rayonrando presents the full range of ThermaRest inflatable hiking mats and explains each model's uses, advantages and limitations precisely. That way, you can find a hiking mat suited to your activities.
How to avoid foot blisters when hiking?
Friction and moisture are the 2 factors behind a major hiking discomfort: foot blisters.
On toes, heels and sometimes even under the arch, this separation of the skin forms a “bubble” filled with lymph. A foot blister usually bursts fairly quickly if you keep walking, causing a particularly unpleasant burning sensation that can even jeopardise your outing.
Knowing how to treat a raw blister is useful, but preventing it is even better. To stop foot blisters leaving you limping, RayonRando explains how to avoid them when hiking and how to treat one if necessary.
