Spring Hiking Gear for Women
GIVEAWAY ENDED π
Hey everyone! A few people recently asked me if I’d make a video on Spring hiking gear and how to layer up at this time of year, so I decided to do just that π This video gives you lots of advice on what to wear for hiking in Spring and how to layer, plus a little giveaway with Home of Millican & Outdoor Provisions.

This video has such a nice aesthetic π
My favorite new piece of clothing is the 2020 Patagonia Nano Air Vest. I love the idea of breathable clothes with a wide comfort temp range. In Canada we also have the MEC T3 range which is super breathable fleece at a low price point, my long term favorite for active wear.
What a beautifully photographed and edited film πΏand the content is great ππΌ ((little gripe thoughβ¦ background musick when you are talking- meant with kindness))
Well made video. Hope to youbsoon again hitting the traill . Cheers
What do you use to clean your boots? (send them to me, I’ll do them for you, ha!)
Keep up the Good work! π€π½π
So easy and really good explanations π₯°
Also, I found your comments on the Nula jacket very helpful; Iβm also a cold mortal!
Alt-Berg are one of the few boot makers that offer a wide fitting boot, really important feature.
Very nice informative video, thank you Athena!
Another good video Athena nice to see you showing people what to wear and what’s available etc but I feel your becoming a bit of a advertising board for the big names remember you can get just as good gear for half the price and still be as good etc please remember the great outdoor s is to be used for everyone not just brand names all the best keep up the excellent work.?…..STEWIE
You are now my go-to channel when it comes to hiking solo as a woman. How I wish I found you before I went hiking in Switzerland for the first time w/c I vlogged btw. My experience might have been better!
I really like the look of the Millican Fraser 25, but the back length seems quite long. Do you feel that the Millican packs are good for men and women, as they have no female specific fit?
Great video!
I can vouch for smartwool clothing, so comfy and warm π
Let’s say you have to cook or be around a fire. The leggings that you are wearing are they able to melt to you if a spark hits them. And if you hike you know about 550 line and how it gets when melting the ends, will your pants do the same?
Brilliant, love your videos for a relaxing lunchtime break, gets you away from the stresses of work, always gets me ready planning for my Welsh trips, liked & shared – Steve
Nice one ….π… didnβt see anything that would suit me π…. But yeah nice bit of advice for everyone regarding layers … I have definitely been trying to tweak my layering lately…. and I find like you……..you gets what you pays for ….. Relaxing video and well edited πππ
So when you say βvestβ we say T-shirt, when we say βvestβ you say βgiletβ…right?
Always enjoy.
Another nice video. On a practical point how do you protect your skin when out hiking all day? Regards Ken
Thank you for the beautiful asthetics in the video and for the explanation about your layered gear for the inbetween weather! I’m a bit late, but can you say anything about how the patagonia longsleeve holds up esp in regard to smells? When I’m outdoors I often wear clothes several times without washing in between and I fear the polyester part will make the shirt stink π Thanks in advance!
I would love to know how you make your sourdough bread!! I am in the midst of attempting to make sourdough and I’ve been inspired by your creations!!
Hi! Athena, that’s a nice shot of Oslo surrounded by blue- bells, you should make an enlargement for your wall. Best wishes to all of you.
Steven.
Nice one!
so atmospheric video
Such a well made and informative video π
Shame theyβre all so pricey π© I do love the look of the leggings though.
i do like that pack, and as yellow is a must have colour haha. Its a new brand for me to check out> Thanks for the intro to Findra, good customer service and early days (Boris hikes) seem like good products
What camera do you use!?!?? The clarity and colours in this are absolutely beautiful!
Montane and Hagloffs leggings look like cheaper versions of the Fjallraven ones, is there a difference in weight & function?
I’m so sad i can’t enter the giveaway, but beautiful video and good luck to everyone that can π
Lovely scenery in this video! Especially the bit where Oslo was sitting in the flower patch π just wanted to enter the giveaway but sadly I live in Germany π wish everyone that can enter good luck!
Loved this video format, informative with pretty scenery!
Loved it !!
I canβt wait for when Outdoor Provisions are able to ship to Denmark βΊοΈ they look so delicious.
Another lovely and informative video πΈ
Beautiful setting, I like the little red riding hood look Athena haha , I wonder if it comes with optional impractical but fetching gingham lined basket π xMark
Good morning mate. Anything which helps & encourages ladies of any age to get into the hills whether solo or with others is great. I’m always happy to see evidence of this in the Lake District. As I’ve said before you’re inspiring a lot of ladies to do just that. Lovely couple of Oslo shots too & I can’t wait to be stretched out in the warm grass like you at 8:52 once more when this lockdown is all over. All the best xx
Brilliant video. Looking forward to getting back to the mountains.
Beautiful ancient woodland, your filming is visually poetic and pure joy.
Great video. Need to go shopping now.
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
Great video, thank you for sharing, I was one of the people that requested it π Hope you are all safe and well xxxx
Lovely vid. Relaxing and I like your pronunciation of HaglΓΆfs. From a Swede. π
Awesome! I love your character, strong woman
I think I’ll give this a pass – you never know what embarrassing stuff might come up..
Still a good well presented video hope you don’t mind my opinion Athena but I like to be constructive at times.?.πππ stewart
Nice photo of you too in the blue bell wood, at the end of the video.
I have this image in my head of poor Harvey following along behind you, carrying a wardrobe, filled with all your modelling outfits and the camera gear. π
He is going to need those energy bars by the time he arrives home.
Amongst all the madness here comes Athena. Love the rucksack I have been looking for one to store essentials. And the colour is fab xx
I herd a woodpecker in our local woods when me and my wife went a walk not herd one since I was a kid atb paul
