Every activity has a dress code. If you’re into baking as a hobby, you need your apron and your head covering. Should you be a jogger, then you’ve got your running shoes, comfortable earbuds for music and a lightweight water bottle. If you’re a camping enthusiast, you’ll have a look too.
The aim isn’t just to show off your brand name gear and that cool parka you just bought (even though this is okay if that’s what you want to do), but to keep you protected in all weather, all temperatures, and all terrains.
Your clothes are the meat of the matter. If you’re new to camping, it’s likely that you packed too few clothes. Camping can be a dirty activity and there are usually no laundry facilities.
In cold weather, wetness kept close to the body will make you feel even chillier. Wear thick socks to insulate your feet. Pack a hat to wear to insulate your head. It should fit closely.
The M Campshire Full Zip is ultra-warm, and equally as soft, full-zip jacket for getting a little more comfortable at the mountain cabin. Its features include standard fit, 300-weight Sherpa fleece, center front zip, rib on cuffs, secure-zip hand pockets.
The layer of clothes above this provides your actual insulation and should be fleece or synthetic material, which also allows moisture to leave the body easily. The outermost layer should be your thickest yet, like that parka we spoke about earlier. You will want at least one rain set, both pants, and a jacket to keep you dry if it rains or snows.
The M Printed Campshire PO Hoodie is durable and versatile. It features ultra-soft Sherpa fleece so you can stay cozy around the campfire, planning your next adventure. The features include logo patch on left chest, relaxed fit, low-profile, reverse-coil quarter zip, high-pile, 300-weight, Campshire Sherpa fleece, woven elbow patches for added durability, side-entry, secure-zip kangaroo hand pocket, elastic-bound hood, center front zip and cuffs.
Headwear and eyewear to protect those parts of your body from the sun is also a good idea. Shorts will be tempting in the hot weather, but you don’t want your legs exposed to insect life or poisonous plants.
Class V Camp Hat is a shallow-fit camper hat provides a fun, modern fit that’s ready for all your summer activities. / Shallow-fit—a snug silhouette for a closer fit / Body made with 68% recycled nylon / FlashDry™ materials offer enhanced moisture management to help keep you comfortable / Five-panel ball cap construction / Low-density, floatable brim / Adjustable webbing strap closure on back / Woven patch with a raised polyurethane (PU).
If walking takes you from urban parks and city streets to countryside paths and mountain trails the Wayroute Mid FuturelightT™ Boots are for you. We’ve combined our experience in the mountains with a contemporary aesthetic to create boots that are one-part cool comfort, one-part technical performance. Developed with a membrane, the Activists are waterproof boots that breathe as hard as you do when pacing it up a steep ascent.
So you can actually wear waterproof boots without getting hot, sweaty feet. Then there’s the gusseted tongue and OrthoLite® insoles that deliver all-day comfort. The lightweight and washable insoles retain their cushioning power long term, even with day-in day-out use. There’s protective toe caps, which come in handy when hotfooting it downhill or hiking in low light on stony paths. And finally, the EXTS™ soles provide sure-footed grip on both wet and slippery, and dry and gravelly terrain.
