In 2020, according to a surveyby the National Institute for Tourism Research<\/a>, which was later reported by *Il Sole 24 Ore*<\/a>, hiking was identified as the sport most commonly practiced by Italians.<\/p>\n

In 2021, this finding was confirmed by a survey conducted by the U.S. communications agency CGPR<\/a>, in which 82% of respondents said they would continue to engage in outdoor activities, including hiking, in 2021 as well.<\/p>\n

Let’s explore together what this activity entails and the subtle difference between it and hiking, an outdoor activity that is often used as a synonym.<\/p>\n

TREKKING is an English term derived from the verb \u201cto trek<\/strong>,\u201d meaning to take a long journey lasting several days, generally at high altitudes. It\u2019s the perfect way to experience an intense and rejuvenating connection with the mountains. However, trekking is not simply a stroll through woods and along trails; on the contrary, it requires effort and attention. It is therefore important to bring the right equipment, useful accessories for any eventuality, and items suitable for preventing potential emergencies. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s precisely why clothing plays an essential role in this activity.
\nIn this case, you should prioritize technical base layers that are thermoregulating and breathable, ensuring maximum comfort without restricting movement. Of course, socks\u2014paired with excellent shoes\u2014must also be high-quality, with technical features ideal for long walks. <\/p>\n

HIKING, on the other hand, comes from the English verb \u201cto hike<\/strong>\u201d: to go on a hike. It\u2019s an experience very similar to trekking, but in this case\u2014in addition to the shorter duration\u2014the focus is on the technical and athletic aspects of walking. Forests, lakes, and mountains are the main places for hiking. The gear required is lighter and simpler\u2014just the essentials for any unexpected situations that might arise during the day. <\/p>\n

Immerse yourself in nature and recharge with a breath of fresh air by packing the essentials from Oxyburn in your backpack!<\/p>\n

For TREKKING, we recommend the DROP<\/a> or HIKE<\/a> shirt and DISCOVERY<\/a> socks, while for HIKING, we recommend the IMPACT<\/a> or CORE<\/a> shirt and HIKING<\/a> socks.
