Hiking season for most people starts in the early Spring and lasts through the fall – and while there are benefits to hiking all three seasons, there’s something to say about hiking in the fall months. The fresh crisp air paired with layered foliage makes trekking the Autumn-filled trails the perfect place for a workout, especially if you’re looking to boost your cardio and get your lower body fit before the Holiday season.


With that, if you’re serious about adding hiking workouts to your fall schedule, you’ll need the right 2023 hiking gear for men to take on your treks so that you can take it to the next level and keep you going.


From trekking poles to moisture-wicking clothing, we got you covered for the latest 2023 hiking gear for men at your fingertips. Let’s hike!


First, however: Safety Hiking Tips (and extra items) to Remember:



  • Be sure to pack a first aid kit, you never know when you’ll need an ace bandage or Band-Aid.

  • Adding chewable Ibuprofen to your First aid kit can co*e to your rescue in the chance you get stung by a bee or touched by a plant that gives your body an allergic reaction.

  • Always tell someone the location and the estimated time of co*pletion.

  • Bear spray isn’t a bad idea. At any time, you can encounter an animal (even a dog) that might not be happy about your presence.
