I only listed some of the more well-known apps, but there are a great number of tools that your phone will offer for outdoor sports and recreation. As mentioned earlier, while hiking, there are many reasons why you may wish to have your phone at hand at all times. One of our favorites is this Migeec Phone Holder with its amazing features such as, a highly-sensitive waterproof screen that is responsive to even sweaty fingers, ultra-bright reflective strip that provide high visibility even under bright sun, and super comfortable adjustable armband. Prices are generally steep, but if you’re on hardcore adventures and scared of breaking your phone, this may be a good choice to research.

Some of these apps can still be used without cell signals or Wi-Fi. Depending on your hike or trip, you may need to make sure the app you are using offers off-grid usage. Even if your favorite phone resources have offline capabilities, you should still carry physical maps and navigation tools. In addition, a phone holder can help to keep your device safe and secure while you're on the move. So a huge relief, if you don’t have AppleCare! A good case is, in my opinion, a necessity for taking your phone on anything more than a casual hike.

Your phone can easily malfunction, and you should plan for it to do so. How To Carry A Cellphone While Hiking?

A phone holder helps to keep your hands free while you're hiking, so you can concentrate on the trail and watch for hazards. It also allows you to easily access your phone in case of an emergency. Due to two reasons: First, your hand will become tired, and second, you will increase the risk of damaging your phone if it slips out of your grasp. But don’t worry, there is a perfect solution to this problem… a hiking phone holder. There is also plenty of cellphone lanyards or outdoor straps to keep your phone on you. Some of these may be a phone with a lanyard attached, but choices vary. If you like to have your phone more immediately available, lanyards are a great choice. What if I don’t like these options? You should use your phone outdoors, whether that’s for taking photos, using maps, or accessing information about your area or relevant information, smartphones are too amazing a resource to ignore. If you're hiking in a remote area, a phone holder can also be a lifesaver. By keeping your phone close at hand, you'll always be able to call for help if something goes wrong.THERMAREST & MSR: Sale! 30% Off all MSR Tents and Thermarest Sleeping Bags including the award-winning Parsec 0! If you’re still skeptical about carrying your phone on adventures, you may be interested in a hiking smartwatch. While features vary based on company and model, they will generally have navigational and exercise style tools to help you along with your adventures. I can see an neoprene “taco” sleeve with bungee cord lacing as a solution. I can spread the load on the existing flap and also as much vertically as possible to reduce the constant pounding a liter of water puts on the fabric. And, add some insulation, too. From a simple strap that just securely holds the phone in place to a more advanced case with a built-in charger, there are plenty of options in the market.

A protective case is also ideal in case you potentially do drop or damage it. While your phone may not be perfectly protected if you carry it in your hand, a case will still be helpful in any potential instances that will damage it.

With tools like altimeters, barometers, compasses, GPS, thermometers, heart rate monitors, and more, these watches will likely offer more hiking-specific uses than your phone. Overall, there’s a great number of ways to carry your phone when hiking. If you’re mindful of the weather, your surroundings, and you stay prepared, your phone will stay safe when you bring it on your next adventure. One such belt is the Sport2People Running Pouch Belt. This running belt comes with generous room to hold your phone and other items. If you are using it for running, it even has reflective visibility and is water-resistant. I probably wouldn’t wear it in the pouring rain unless you had some extra waterproof protection. Most outdoor activities will have a massive amount of resources available for you to access online. As a climber, I use my phone for navigation, photography or videography, and access to online resources like Mountain Project.
