At Vionic, these are words we live by, and we encourage others to as well. A great way to live out this mantra is by going on a hike. Offering fresh air, nature and a light (or for some, more rigorous) exercise, a hike can bring a lot to the table for both your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drweil.com\/health-wellness\/body-mind-spirit\/stress-anxiety\/a-safe-way-to-relieve-stress\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mental and physical health.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> But before you start mapping out which trails to travel, you\u2019ll want to make sure you have everything you need. Grab a backpack and take some notes because we\u2019re sharing our hiking packing list. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>A light jacket.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Shield yourself from rain and wind with a waterproof jacket. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>A water bottle.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Hydration is key for any form of exercise. Remember to fill up your water bottle with plenty of fluid and keep sipping.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>A snack.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Protein can help keep your energy up no matter which path you take. Have some pre-hike fun and make your very own trail mix.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>A wristband watch.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Nowadays, many of us use our phones as a timekeeper, but a watch can be great when hiking the great outdoors. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Supportive shoes.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Keep your feet comfortable and supported with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/women\/performance-and-recovery-shoes.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">performance shoes<\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Sunscreen.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Protect your skin from sun exposure with some SPF. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Handheld flashlight.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you plan on an evening hike, pack a small flashlight. Make sure to check the batteries before you head out! <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Bandaids.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Be prepared minor cuts when navigating through the brush. Pack some bandaids just in case. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Bug repellent.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Keep the pests away with a to-go bottle of bug spray. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ready to hit the trails?
