4 Garments That Are Great For Camping
While you are digging through your attic, trying to find your tent, we’ll do some cleaning for you.
1. Socks.
Socks are key when it comes to avoiding blisters. Some campers and experienced hikers recommend wearing two pairs of socks to double the insulation. You should also consider socks that are made from synthetic fibers and not cotton. Cotton has a tendency to soak up sweat and keep it trapped around your feet. This can be very uncomfortable. Not great for long trails.
When you head out on a camping trip, it is always a good idea to bring more than one pair of shoes. You’ll need your durable hiking boots. You will also need relaxing shoes so your feet have a chance to rest after a long day of camping fun.
2. A hat.
If you are camping in Arkansas in the summer, cold weather is the last thing on your mind. Hats are often included in camping gear because most of our bodies heat leaves through the top of our head. Wearing a hat at night and in the cool morning can mean all the difference for your comfort.
Even though you might not be dealing with cold weather, you will be dealing with sunshine. Hats are a great way to protect your head and face from harmful UV rays.
3. Moisture wicking garments.
Garments made with moisture wicking fabrics are great for your base layer. Your base layer, the layer of clothing that touches your skin, should be made of moisture wicking fabric. The last thing you want to deal with is moisture keeping your body temperature in uncomfortable degrees.
Look for clothing with labels that have words like polyester, CoolMax, Under Armor, DryFit, DryZone, DryLite. Avoid cotton at all costs.
4. Durable garments.
What is the most durable garment you own? Consider it for your camping trip. During the day, you’re going to want to have fun in the great outdoors. Make sure you wear clothing that is up to the task. Wear tough fabrics that will be easy to clean after your camping trip.
Make sure that none of your camping garments are irreplaceable. Unexpected things can happen when you camping. The last thing you want is to ruin or lose an important garment.
