Tips for mountain lovers — perfectly equipped for every tour
Anyone who enjoys being outdoors appreciates professional equipment that they can rely on. The most popular items include repair gadgets, trendy plastic-free functional clothing made from natural fibers such as Tencel, classic thermal jackets with mini pack size, sustainable lunch boxes and hiking socks with compression for long tours or long-distance hikes. It’s not just your knees that will be happy about foldable hiking poles and two more hot tips: For winter sports or hiking in summer, a rucksack or clothing with built-in Recco technology ensures that you can be found more quickly in an emergency.
Hiking maps are always in season — because every digital planning app can crash or the cell phone battery runs out faster than expected on tour. The perfect choice are those from KOMPASS — waterproof, robust and available for many regions in Germany, Austria & Italy. The hiking maps are also available in sets of up to four, covering an entire region such as South Tyrol, Trentino or the Chiemgau and Berchtesgaden Alps in one. Not just for hiking, by the way — all the cycle routes are also included. Or would you prefer to give away a subscription to the KOMPASS APP as a digital companion? Speaking of cell phones: an insulated smartphone case extends the battery life so that you can capture all the moments in the cold season, whether winter hiking, cross-country skiing or skiing.
Making bike fans perfectly happy
Thermal clothing such as overshoes, windstopper pants and gloves ensure smiling faces and warm toes and hands, and not just in the cold season. Customizable, ultra-light helmets with top safety features are the trend for 2026, and bikepacking is also very popular and therefore a good gift supplier, from practical pannier hangers to ultra-light bags and special tents. GPS smart trackers and alarm location tags with and without a signal ensure security and theft protection for bikes.
