Choosing the Right Trekking Apparel: Tips for Men and Women

Trekking Clothes for Men

Select the Fabric Wisely
The choice of material makes all the difference. Search for a fabric that wicks moisture, such as polyester or merino wool, which draws sweat away from the body. Such fabrics will further help in the regulation of the body temperature and keep it dry. 

Layering
Layering is the key and the secret to adjusting to the change in weather. One should start with the baselayer, made out of moisture-wicking fabric, then continue with the mid-layer for insulation, and then finish off with the outer waterproof and windproof layer.  Reccy designs some practical base layer options, including the Nomadic All Weather Pants, which are a versatile pair of lightweight baselayer pants developed from a waterproof ripstop. 

Trekking Pants
Get good trekking pants that are flexible, strong, and waterproof. A more versatile option is that of convertible pants which can be zipped off into shorts.

Hiking Shirts
Get long-sleeved tops to protect the skin against sunburn and insect bites. It is best to get tops that offer UV protection. Reccy's Performance T-shirts are suitable for any outdoor activity. They offer the best hiking clothes at a reasonable price.

Trekking Clothes for Women

The trekking outfit for females should offer the same level of functionality and comfort as those for males. Opt for those with fitted designs that give you freedom of movement.

Accessories
Hats, gloves, sunglasses and hats offer more protection against the sun, wind, and cold.
