Ideas for clothing

• Base Layer- Hiking Socks (2 pair), wicking underwear/avoid cotton, Wicking shirts,Convertible hiking pants. NO JEANS!!!!

• Middle Layer- Wicking long johns, medium weight vest/fleece, fleece shirt

• Outer Layer- Rain Jacket, gloves (stretchy knit), hat

• Campsite clothes- comfy pants (long johns, slippers, warm socks)
• Additional Suggestions...
• Wool, polyester, and nylon are your friends – cotton is your enemy. Make sure you are wearing clothes that will wick away moisture.
• Hiking Boots vs. Trail Shoes – The only danger with trail shoes is the possibility of losing one in quick sand. I didn’t have trouble with that, but it is a possibility. Whatever you choose, you should be walking in them sooner than later. Some people have chosen to take out the insoles and replace them with a gel insole or Dr. Scholl’s type of insole.
• I plan to wear hiking cargo pants with the zip off legs and several layers above the waist. I can give you a few more ideas if you are unsure of layering.
