Camping ClothesCamping Clothes

It's important to have the proper camping clothes with you when you venture out in to the wilderness. The proper camping clothes allow you to stay both comfortable and safe in the the outdoors.

While safety isn't such a concern in the summer months, not having the proper camping clothes with you when the snow and wind starts flying can put you at risk for hypothermia and worse.

So go in to the wilderness prepared, with the proper camping clothes.

Camping Clothes for Men - Winter

  • Mont Bell U.L. Down Inner Jacket - An insulating layer, particularly for your upper torso, is an important item of camping clothing to have in winter months. And while fleece and wool are good, down offers a weight to warmth ratio that is difficult to beat. It also packs down small, so you can throw it in your bag and forget it's there until you need it. There are a few manufacturers that make excellent goose down garments, but Mont Bell is one of the best, and this inner parka is one of their best.
  • Arc'teryx Alpha LT Jacket - Another important piece of camping clothes for the winter months is a waterproof outer layer to protect you from wind, rain and snow. Arc'teryx is well known for their many excellent winter outerwear garments, and this is one of their best. It features tough Gore-Tex, 3 layer fabric and a lot of great technical features that make it useful in a variety of situations.
  • Arc'teryx Alpha SL Pants - Your legs aren't immune to the elements, and it is always a good idea to bring along a reliable pair of waterproof pants. These pants, also from outdoor manufacturer Arc'teryx, are made from a lighter, more breathable Gore-Tex fabric to keep you dry while offering plenty of breathability.

Camping Clothes for Men - Summer

  • Arc'teryx Rampart Shorts - For summer, nothing beats the breathability of a pair of nylon shorts. The Rampart shorts are just that. Nylon breaths well, and dries extremely quickly. It also feels good against skin, making it an ideal fabric for summer camping clothes. These particular shorts also feature plenty of pocket space, so there's always room for one more gadget.
  • The North Face Paramount Peak Pants - If you're the kind of person that likes a pair of shorts and a pair of pants for your camping clothing collection, then nothing beats a pair of convertible pants. They go from shorts to pants and back again with nothing but a zipper, offering you the best of both worlds. These particular convertible pants from The North Face are made with a midweight, abrasion resistant nylon. They also feature built in UV light protection and a water repellent finish. The perfecting camping clothes for anything and everything the outdoors might throw at you.
  • Icebreaker SuperFine Tech Lite T-Shirt - Though the idea of a wool T-Shirt for the summer months might seem strange at first, Icebreaker has been making excellent merino wool garments for a long time, and know what they're doing. The shirts are made from super light 140 count wool, which will breath in the heat and keep you warm when the sun goes down. Merino wool is also odor resistant, meaning you will smell great after a camping trip, which is about all you can ask from camping clothes.
