What Clothing to Wear When Camping and Holidaying Tips

When you are camping, holidaying or travelling the most convenient way to dress is using layers of clothing. Mornings and nights are generally cooler and during the day are warmer. 

So if you start with several layers in the morning, then peel off a layer or two for the afternoon, you will most likely be putting a layer back on for night time.

These clothing tips will give you a few ideas for different weather conditions.

• Hats are for warmth and sun protection, when its cold wear a woollen hat like a beanie. In the warmer weather wear a peaked cap or a wide brimmed hat to prevent sunburn.
• In extreme cold & snow conditions long thermal leggings & long sleeve tops, gloves & socks etc are excellent for keeping you warmer.
• Many types of warm clothing incorporate fleece to help trap your body’s warmth.
• Gloves can be useful to protect from the cold and frostbite, using a leather glove when tending to the campfire or removing the camp oven is very useful as it will stop the radiant heat burning your hand or arm.
• Wind and water resistant jackets and pants are available that are quite thin and comfortable to wear when doing activities and yet they are very warm.
• Always be prepared for rain even when its warm, showers of rain are possible.
• When hiking or going for a long walk wear two layers of socks, a thin polyester pair and then thick woollen socks. This will be more comfortable and help prevent blisters. Change your socks if they get wet as soon as possible.
• Your shoes need to be of good quality and comfortable and worn in, not new, to prevent blisters from occurring.
• Good quality sun glasses are necessary to protect your eyes from the sun’s glare especially good when driving.
• When at the beach or swimming pool there’s nothing better than the shorts, t-shirt, bathers, thongs and remember the sun hat, sun glasses and sunscreen.
