Tips for what to wear on a hike
The basics of hiking clothes
Hiking clothes should always be functional and protective. Below are basics to wear for your trip.
-
Underwear and Socks – These are the most basic items to wear on your hike. Underwear can help with protecting you from the rubbing of material when taking long hikes and socks will help protect your ankles from shrubbery and bug bites.
-
Shirts and Jackets – You’re likely to be exposed to sun, rain and wind on hikes so keeping yourself safe is key. Lightweight, synthetic fabrics will be your best friend to help with transitional weather. Our featherlight UV crew will keep you cool and sun safe.
-
Pants / Bottoms – There are many options for hiking bottoms from skorts , shorts to long pants. No matter what option suits your style, it’s important to choose stretchy, wicking fabrics so you can have the best mobility and stay dry.
-
Shoes – The shoes you choose to wear on a hike depend on personal preference, weather conditions and trail terrain. While hiking sandals work great in nicer weather, boots would be needed in cooler climates and rougher terrain.
-
Hats – We worry about covering our bodies from the elements that sometimes we forget about our face and heads. Hats are important to have for protecting your face from the sun. If hats aren’t your thing, our visor is a perfect headpiece to take on your adventure.
