  • Today we're talking all about hiking clothes and layering! This is a solid overview of what to wear hiking with plenty of examples of hiking clothes for women. While a lot of the clothing I show is for summer hiking, the lessons on layering will make it easy to adapt your clothing for colder hikes too.

    For my females, especially if you have thicker thighs, I wouldn't recommend shorts. You will chaff and it hurts!! Stick to pants, I learned the hard way, hiked 12 miles with shorts and it was HORRIBLE.

    I literally live in Columbia Anytime capris and pants. We are frequent campers and I wear these on the trail, in the kayak, at the campsite and at home. They are quick drying and stretchy and oh so comfortable!

    If you live in a humid buggy area not only should you wear long pants but also avoid skin hugging clothing - mosquitoes can bite right through them. I am getting so frustrated with women’s outdoor clothing today being absolutely useless. The men get real protective clothes and women are just left with nothing.

    • @jcgnbd7410
      @jcgnbd7410 4 роки тому +22

      Rachel Campbell I agree - so frustrating! The thing that gets me (and I am super jealous of these women 😃) is that when you find women’s clothing that is decent- it is made for women with A and B sized cups! I am large chested and short so finding things that fit is a crap shoot.....hopefully someone will help the busty women hike without skintight clothing showing off the girls and being super big everywhere else. I need a medium/large top but that never fits the chest area🤣. Someday......I usually buy men’s stuff, but it never fits right!

    • @lindsaymuller1819

      @@jcgnbd7410 I am a slim b cup woman and I can attest to that. Even I who can easily find sizes that fit me perfectly, can clearly see the disconnect between outdoor clothing and curvy, busty, and plus sized women. After I graduate college and get my feet on the ground I would love to start an outdoor gear and clothing company catered to the diversity in body sizes and shapes, especially for women.

  • @rainbowhiker
    @rainbowhiker 3 роки тому +3

    Excellent advice. Exactly the system I use with an exception. I live in northern Utah and color comes into play in the desert. Pure white clothing is the coolest combination I've found to hike in. I must emphasize though, loose white clothing, not the skin clinging style as you want air circulation. And one of the most important accessories, a four inch, or wider, full brimmed hat. Baseball caps shield your forehead but little else. In real desert conditions, covering skin is so important. Thanks for the video. Good job.

    I love videos like this! They help me get ideas for my own outdoors wardrobe.
    Question: This video makes it sound like you don't wear leggings when camping/hiking; however, you're either in shorts or leggings in your other videos. Have you since changed your mind? (Asking because I have yet to find pants that fit me well and are comfortable - after 10+ years of looking - and keep landing back on leggings. It seems most advice is to get pants, but in practice, many women still wear leggings.)

    OK so I stopped by to figure out what to wear during fall but you kind of didn’t touch on that and as a beginner I am lost I’m thinking that Patagonia hoodie actually could work? I’m starting out at like 50° and ending up at maybe 65 or 70 and hiking makes you hot too so do you think that that Patagonia hoodie would work that you love so much? I usually run hot. So I’m not looking for warmer layers although I do have some when it’s time. But right now it’s still sunny.
