As the cooler autumnal temperatures begin to settle in, it’s hard to resist the call of the mountains – from short, easy hikes to hidden trails that offer a respite from the crowds. Before joining in on the fun, make sure you’re well equipped with hiking essentials. And while you're out enjoying the fresh air, don't forget that the drop in humidity can leave your skin dull, tight and sometimes itchy. That’s why it’s important to transition your skincare routine from summer to autumn with nourishing, moisturising goodies – all available on Cathay Shop .
This set of four pairs of socks in earthy-toned colours is packed with smart details to keep your feet fresh and protected on long treks. Made from 68 per cent durable, moisture-wicking Coolmax yarn, each pair offers mesh-knit construction for ventilation at the instep, antimicrobial treatment to neutralise odours, as well as extra cushioning around the toe and heel areas to prevent blisters.
A hip-belt pocket, front pocket, zippered lid, attachment loop, side compression straps and daisy chains – as you can tell, this spacious backpack is full of thoughtful features to keep your hiking gear secure and within reach, including your hiking pole and ice axe. It’s crafted from a recycled waxed polyester canvas, making it both durable and water-resistant, which also comes with a breathable back panel for all-day comfort.
The best hiking sticks provide stability and support without adding unnecessary bulk. This ultralight carbon pole weighs only 190 grams and can be easily folded away and secured to your backpack. Designed for versatile terrain, it features interchangeable summer and winter baskets along with a tungsten tip for icy or rocky surfaces. No matter where your adventure takes you, its soft EVA handle ensures a secure, comfortable grip.
You’re bound to encounter all sorts of weather conditions while hiking, but you'll always be adventure-ready with this wide-brimmed hat. On sunny days, you’ll appreciate how its Omni-Shade UPF 50 fabric blocks UV rays, as well as how its mesh vent panel and Omni-Wick sweatband keep you cool and dry. And when it gets windy, the adjustable chin strap and back toggle ensure you never have to worry about losing your go-to trail companion.
If you have dry, sensitive skin or struggle with eczema, this oil-based serum may be the skin saviour you’ve been searching for. It’s formulated with plant-based ingredients that mimic your skin’s natural barrier, including cold-pressed squalane sourced from organic Greek olives. These ingredients offer antioxidant benefits and help prevent water loss, improving your skin’s texture and reducing the appearance of fine lines and redness.
It’s not easy to find a cleanser that purifies your skin without stripping it dry, but this one from Factiv does just that. Soothing yet potent, it gently removes makeup while preserving your skin’s natural moisture and reducing itchiness. Its hyaluronic acid complex binds to the skin’s moisture barrier for lasting hydration, while the low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid penetrates deeply to help repair damaged cells.
When the temperature drops, your hardworking hands are one of the first areas that need a little extra care. This nourishing hand balm comes in a recyclable aluminium tube and features an earthy, autumnal scent with notes of patchouli, rose and bergamot. Rich in honey, golden jojoba oil, wheat germ oil, cocoa butter and shea butter, it restores hands, nails and cuticles – leaving dry, rough skin feeling soft and supple.
A lightweight daytime moisturiser, this vegan, cruelty-free formula helps keep your skin feeling balanced, without leaving a greasy finish. To achieve maximum hydration, it binds moisture to your skin, boosts retention and slows evaporation. Enriched with chamomile, fatty acids, sodium hyaluronate, panthenol and Vitamin E, it soothes while strengthening and shielding sensitive skin from environmental stressors.
