Heading out on a summer camping trip? You need to bring flashlights, food, tents — and the right clothing. Don’t overlook this vital part of packing. Wearing the best clothing for camping can make a big difference in your enjoyment of the trip.
Proper camping attire protects you from the elements. You also can stay warm enough and cool enough. For instance, during the day on a summer camping trip, it may be 90 degrees with high humidity. If you do not dress appropriately, you may overheat and find it difficult to enjoy yourself. Come night time, the temperature drops, and once again, you need to be prepared. Spending the night in a tent freezing will undoubtedly put you in a sour mood for the rest of your trip.
What are the best clothes for summer camping? Read on to learn what you should take on your next warm-weather camping trip to make the most of the experience.
As soon as the sun rises, the temperatures will begin to sizzle. You should bring clothes to keep you cool while not exposing too much skin, such as:
Inner Layers: Breathable underwear and socks
Outer Layers: Moisture-wicking T-shirts and pants or shorts
Headwear: Lightweight hat or visor
Long-sleeved shirts and pants may seem like an invitation to broil, but they offer added protection against mosquitoes and irritating plants that you may find if you participate in activities like hiking. Young children also may benefit from light long-sleeved shirts with SPF protection for exceptionally sunny days. This way, you don’t have to worry about sunscreen wearing off throughout the day.
You can also look for clothing with vents, such as light jackets that open in the back or have vented sleeves. These allow you to adjust your clothing according to temperature as the day gets warmer and then, later in the day, chillier.
Instead of traditional pajamas, consider layering your night time wear. Try:
A T-shirt or tank top
A breathable long-sleeved shirt
A sweatshirt
Sweatpants
Wearing layers allows you to remove something if you get too warm. Try clothing made from fleece or nylon for night time, since these materials hold warmth better than cotton or wicking clothes. You might also opt for pile or wool, which some people prefer for socks no matter how warm or cold it is outside.
Having the right clothes for the right temperature is essential, but you also need to consider other aspects of the weather, as well. Check the forecast frequently before your trip to see if it includes showers. In the event of rain, you will want to bring:
Galoshes
Raincoat or poncho with hood
Avoid PVC clothing — although it is waterproof, it doesn’t breathe and can make you overheat. Invest in Gore-Tex instead, which will keep the water off and also allow some air to reach you.
Of course, you should always bring a bathing suit on a summer camping trip if there is any chance of swimming, and sturdy shoes are a must. Bring flip flops to wear to the shower and pool, as well. Many people also like to bring a bandana as a multipurpose piece — you can use it to cover your head on a hike or tie it around your neck when you’re sweating.
Pack all of these clothes for your next summer camping trip and you will be in good shape to enjoy yourself!
