Backpacking clothing for
any type of weather

Your backpacking clothing is one of the most important factors in wilderness backpacking preparedness.

Wear clothes and footwear appropriate for the terrain and weather conditions you expect to encounter. Sure, weather is unpredictable, but it's imperative that you prepare for such unpredictability. Getting wet and cold can very easily put you in serious danger.

Outdoor clothing formula

It takes some practice to get the outdoor clothing formula just right, since every person has different insulation requirements depending on body size and fitness level. Your clothing must keep you warm and dry but also have plenty of ways to keep the body ventilated.

The more options you have available, the more fine-tuning you can do and the more comfortable you will be on a daily basis. The trick is to keep your core body temperature consistent no matter what your activity level or the outside conditions. Learn how to choose your backpacking clothing.


Footwear

Choosing the right backpacking boots may be the most important decision you make if you plan for a wilderness backpacking trip. The backpacking boots you choose must be comfortable and durable.
