# Hiking ## Hiking groups * [Outdooraholics](/sports/hiking/outdooraholics.md) * [AAA Hiking Group](https://www.meetup.com/AAA-London-Group/) ## Favourite equipment * Jackets * [Arc'teryx Atom LT Hoody](https://arcteryx.com/gb/en/shop/mens/atom-lt-hoody) * Even though it is not the cheapest of hoodies you can find, I found this to be the most versatile, useful and comfortable hiking jacket I've gotten thus far. * It is not water-proof, but can easily withstand a light shower without any issues * For colder times, AR version of the hoodie might be better. Or you can wear another warm base layer with the LT hoodie. * Hiking shoes * [Merrell Men's Moab 2 Mid Gore-tex High Rise](https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B071FWYZXT/) * [Salomon X Ultra 3 Prime GTX](https://www.salomon.com/en-gb/shop-emea/product/x-ultra-3-prime-gtxr.html) * Superbly water proof and has kept my feet dry walking through ankle deep puddles! * Grip is really secure as well. * I find myself wearing this shoe for most hikes due to better breathability as this shoe is lower than the Merrell one above. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
