How to choose the right apparel & footwear
Start with your use case. Outdoor clothing and tactical footwear aren’t just about style; they are tools that help you move safely and comfortably.
- Clothing for outdoor & tactical use: Softshell jackets, fleece layers and combat shirts deliver insulation with wind and light-rain protection.
- Pants & shorts: Ripstop fabrics and ergonomic cuts for freedom of movement during hikes or intense daily use.
- Footwear: From tactical and outdoor boots to sneakers and hiking boots, each option suits a different scenario—from city streets to rocky trails.
- Accessories: Gloves, caps, balaclavas and socks add protection from sun, cold and friction.
For hiking, look for outsoles with strong grip (e.g., Vibram-type) and waterproof/breathable membranes. In urban environments, lightweight boots or supportive sneakers keep you comfortable without sacrificing durability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What’s the best jacket for outdoor use in Greece?
For most conditions, a softshell with durable water-repellent treatment and a light fleece backing strikes the balance. It blocks wind and sheds light rain without excess weight—ideal for winter hikes and everyday use.
What should I look for in tactical boots / outdoor boots?
Focus on outsole grip and durability, waterproof/breathable membrane, ankle support and weight. For rocky paths and wet ground, choose grippy outsoles (e.g., Vibram-type) with effective shock absorption.
Softshell vs fleece—what’s the difference and when should I choose each?
Softshell is wind-resistant, water-repellent and stretchy; great as an outer layer during movement or light rain. Fleece is warm and breathable but not windproof; wear it as a mid-layer. In Greece: spring/autumn softshell alone; in winter go fleece plus waterproof shell; for high-output activity, prefer softshell.
Which socks are best for hiking in Greece (merino vs synthetic)?
Merino regulates temperature and reduces odors—excellent for cool/cold and long routes—though it dries slower. Synthetics dry fast and are durable—great for heat and heavy sweat—but manage odors less well. Avoid cotton, choose flat seams and a crew height. Thin synthetics for heatwaves; midweight merino or blends for autumn/winter.
Are base layers necessary for hiking?
They help maintain a steady temperature and move sweat away from the skin. In low temperatures or long outings, use a wicking base layer, then fleece, and top with softshell/waterproof shell depending on weather.
