Choosing the Right Camping Outfit
Author: TravellingToday When it comes to planning a
camping outfit, function and comfort usually come before fashion. Here is a list
of must-have clothing items for your camping outfit, separated into fair weather
camping and cool climate camping clothes.
If you're camping on fair
weather, here are some essentials:
Light, cotton T-shirts
Choose shirts that are a bit
loose instead of shirts that are form-fitting; the latter might leave you
feeling uncomfortable when it starts sticking to your skin while you're under
the hot afternoon sun.
Shorts
Similar to the shirts, make sure
to wear and pack "breezy shorts", instead of ones that are too tight they cling
to your body when you sweat and make you feel uneasy.
Socks
Always bring a few extra pairs
of socks - you never know when you might step on a puddle or on ankle-high mud.
A Hat, Cap or Visor and
Sunglasses
At least once in a camping trip,
you'll be hiking under the very strong heat of the sun, and you would need
something to cover your head and your face as well as protect your eyes from
harmful, damaging rays. Also, it is advisable to purchase sunglasses that have
built-in UV protection to help further minimize your exposure to harmful light.
Rain Gear (A Rain Poncho or a
Raincoat)
Although you'll be hiking under
presumably fair weather, a sudden rainstorm might hit and affect your camping
trip. Hence it is always best to pack rain gear to protect your from the effects
of unexpected weather patterns. Along with the items above, here are some
clothing pieces you should bring in case you're camping in cold weather:
A Sweater
When hiking in a cool climate,
it's advisable to dress in layers - for instance, wearing a sweater over a
shirt, that's over another shirt - so that when it gets cool you can just take
off the first layer of your outfit, and when it gets quite cold, you can just as
easily put it back on.
Wool Pants
When camping in cold weather,
you'll need clothes that will provide insulation, and wool pants are a great
alternative to expensive pants made out of synthetic fibers
Always remember that when
preparing a camping outfit, function comes before fashion. Of course, a little
style never hurt anyone, so don't forget about that altogether either.
