Clothes for hiking in the mountains
What should be the clothes for hiking in the mountains? I hope you have already chosen a tent and sleeping bag that will play an important role when hiking in the mountains, now let's move on to choosing clothes. As for the boots, first of all we look at the sole, it should be soft and slightly rubberized, such a sole will not allow slipping on wet rocks, the pattern should be similar to winter rubber for cars.
If the weight permits, then we take an additional set of sports - breathable sneakers, I think on a hot and sultry day in ankle boots that fix the shin and foot, you will not go far. Go ahead and put a flashlight in our backpack for hiking in the mountains at night, by the way, the backpack should be roomy and with good support from the back.
Do not forget about the protective bag, it takes up very little space and does not allow your backpack to get wet. Be sure to take a fleece jacket or other fleece-based clothing. We fold the pad (sleeping bag pad) and pad under the back seat if you suddenly want to sit on damp ground. Now let's move on to the main clothes, they should be loose and dry quickly.
- As for the pants, anything can be here, I don’t bother with this and always take simple sweatpants in which I feel comfortable and do not hinder my movement.
- If the mountainous area is very humid, then we take a fleece jacket in combination with a water-repellent jacket.
- For T-shirts, a cotton T-shirt is best.
- Always take one pair of woolen socks and several pairs of light cotton socks.
- I always take a cap on my head, and at night you can take an old children's hat, the main thing is that it is woolen and covers my ears.
- a pair of ordinary gloves and will not interfere with construction gloves with pimples.
- As for the dishes, a standard set of plastic dishes, a thermo mug, a metal pot for cooking, and a flask of water will suit you.
- The next item is the first aid kit, here everyone decides what he needs to put in the first aid kit. As for the standard set, these are pain relievers, antiseptics, bandage, iodine, a small splint, antiviral and antipyretic agent.
- Tourist matches, if you don't need ‘cool’ matches, then we take ordinary ones, they can also kindle a fire.
- stock of batteries for technology, portable chargers.
- Documents, money and matches must be sealed
- A navigator with the latest map update, a cell phone with a strong network signal, but a walkie-talkie is best. A GPS beacon will not interfere.
- Notify all friends and relatives
Fishing clothes
What kind of clothing should you wear for fishing? Well, here you will not have any special problems, we take only the most necessary. Fishing by itself means going to a humid environment, from here you should start.
As for clothing, the ideal option would be a special jumpsuit made of tent material on the outside and a mixture of polyester and cotton on the inside. Such material does not get wet in the rain and does not let the wind through, which will only be a plus in bad weather. What to wear on your feet? This is where the newfangled concept of waders came in, called Waders.
How to choose a wader? very simply, they should be made of neoprene, the lining should be made of thermal underwear, the leg in such a shoe should not sit like a glove, it should be free. Pay special attention to the seams, which may wear out soon, the fewer seams the longer your waders will live.
As for chairs, tents and sleeping bags, everything is very clear here, I will paint a completely different topic in subsequent articles, one of which will be the topic of how to choose a 'spinning rod for fishing', so as not to miss interesting materials, I recommend subscribing to the newsletter from my blog.
Clothes for hiking in the forest
The first step is to get a jumpsuit. A regular jumpsuit for a forester is sold in every store, it should cover your body well from the penetration of insects. Be sure to take mosquito spray, everything else will completely suit you from the point about hiking in the mountains, that is, we go back up a little and read the information.

Where to buy hiking clothes?
Where to buy hiking clothes? Personally, I bought my sleeping bag and tent only in one very good place - Planet Sport. Here you can choose not only good quality hiking clothes, but also make a purchase at a price that is lower than other sports stores. As for winter sports, I bought a snowboard here last winter for a promotion. I wrote about how to choose a snowboard in my separate article.
