Nordic Walking Clothing

Nordic Walking is mainly done in the great outdoors, and therefore it is wise to wear tick-resistant clothing during this activity. Ticks are found in green areas, such as forests, shrubs, and tall grass. The risk of a tick bite is therefore significantly high during Nordic walking.

In the Netherlands, more than a million people are bitten by ticks each year, often in green surroundings. Many people think that ticks are in trees and fall from there, but that is not true. The small black creatures are primarily low to the ground and therefore present a much bigger danger than often thought. They crawl through the grass and in shrubs, bringing them close to people. Those who frequently Nordic walk in nature face a large risk of encountering a tick.

With tick-resistant clothing, you prevent the tick from finding its way to your skin while you're engaged in Nordic walking. With this clothing, you don't have to worry about getting bitten by a tick and possibly contracting Lyme disease.
