The mountain has its rules, even when it comes to packing. And the first rule to follow, let me play with words, is that you don't need a mountain of stuff, but the right one must never be missing. Going to the mountains in summer is a real choice. Not the least obvious of all, because it is no longer the privilege of a single elite, that is, the one that can fly to any atoll even in the middle of winter and swim where and when it wants. But a choice made by those who prefer the discreet elegance of the mountains to the crowding of the beaches. To the incessant heat, the coolness of certain days, to the noises, the silence that each of us jealously guards. And when someone thinks about the wardrobe he follows some essential diktats: practicality, technicality held together by a sober sense of fashion. Where the gilet reigns in every season, where all this can be layered or transformed according to the rise or fall of temperature, here are some tips to never go wrong.

Advice for him: a windproof jacket that allows you to remove the sleeves to get a sleeveless, practical, fast and fashionable. The shorts focus on ripstop details to ensure a maximum grip, protecting us from rips and scrapings. The shirt ensures comfort if it is made of breathable fabric and has an anti-odor treatment. The walks are long, the climbs are often arduous, and when we finally arrive at the lodge, we just want to keep the aplomb.

Advice for her: the rain this season is very desirable but at the mountains it is not to be excluded. It could be a refreshing and pleasant surprise, but also trouble. So you better gear up. A handy waterproof jacket should be in everyone's basic kit. The transformer philosophy also infects the women's wardrobe. The 2-in-1 trousers will make you save space and optimize your look in case of sudden heat (or cold). It’s all on the zip, which will transform the trousers into shorts in a quick movement. Over all and above all, the colored, light and, of course, breathable t-shirt.
