【モンベル】秋の登山、夏から変えた持ち物5選｜モデルが選ぶ秋支度・登山初心者向け

Summary

Iwasaki shares five items she adds or reconsiders for autumn hikes, when mornings and evenings are colder, weather can change quickly, and daylight is shorter. These items supplement—not replace—basic hiking gear such as water, snacks, a phone with maps or a hiking app, a power bank, and first-aid supplies.

Five Items for Autumn Hikes

1. Light insulating layer: Pack a lightweight, breathable fleece, even if you may not need it. It can provide warmth during breaks without causing you to overheat while walking. Add or remove layers as conditions change, and wear a shell over the fleece when it’s windy.

2. Rain jacket: Carry rainwear year-round, even when rain isn’t forecast. A rain jacket can also block wind and help retain warmth over a breathable mid-layer.

3. Gloves and a hat: Thin gloves make it easier to handle trekking poles and gear, while a hat that covers the ears helps during cold, windy breaks. Choose accessories based on the route and forecast rather than dressing too warmly for the entire day.

4. Lights: Plan to descend in daylight, but bring lights in case the hike takes longer than expected. Use a brighter light as your primary light and carry a small backup. A compact backup light is also handy for everyday use or emergencies.

5. A warm drink: Bring hot water in a thermos and lightweight drink powders, such as miso soup or cocoa. A warm drink can be comforting when wind or cooled sweat makes a summit break chilly.

Main Takeaway

Prepare for autumn’s changing conditions without overpacking: bring layers and backup items, and plan your start and descent times with shorter days in mind.
