19 garments and accessories that will make you ready to face nature

The interest for the outdoors is reaching somewhat of an all-time high and there have never been so many people looking forward to the hiking season. Are you planning on spending time among logs and stones, then it may be high time to acquire equipment and clothes that are suitable for the purpose. We will help with 19 garments and accessories that may be a necessity to take with you.

Boots

Dry and warm feet are a must when staying outdoors. With the Gore-Tex membrane and Vibram sole, these boots from Danner will keep you safe and warm when you venture into the nature.

Sunglasses

No one appreciates getting the sun in their eyes. A pair of durable sunglasses with polarised lenses protect your eyes from both direct sunlight and irritating reflections.

Book

No every has nature around the corner. Do you need inspiration before your next journey, then the book Kinfolk – Travel is an excellent starting point.

Cargo Trousers

Cargo trousers are a classic outdoor garment. The spacious pockets on the thighs are the perfect place to store maps, snacks and other things to make your journey easier.

Thermal Underwear

If you dress using the layer-on-layer principle, then thermal underwear are the base for the whole idea. Quality thermal underwear that quickly transport moisture away from the skin, helps to keep the wearer both dry and warm.

Shell Jacket

If thermal underwear is the foundation, then the shell jacket is the walls and roof. Made from a durable material and the Gore-Tex water-resistant membrane it protects you from the elements.

Moisturising Cream

After a day in the nature you expose your face to a lot of distress. Applying a moisturising cream can be a good way to mitigate the discomfort and reduce any inflammation that may occur.

Water Bottle

It’s important to keep your liquid levels topped up when one is out walking. A titanium water bottle is very durable and weights barely anything.

Cap

A cap is an easy way to keep one’s hair in check. Active Check from Varsity is made from a synthetic blend and helps to transport moisture away from the forehead.

Gloves

Even the hands should be kept warm and dry. With a pair of durable leather gloves on your hands, then this is no problem.

Hiking Sneakers

Hiking sneakers should be seen as a lightweight alternative to boots. Suitable for those who want to get around quickly without compromising on stability and grip.

Down Vest

As long as the rain stays away, a lightweight down vest is the perfect companion on cold days. Should the rain arrive, it also acts as a warming layer between the base layer and a shell jacket.

Camping Table

Are you planning on preparing or serving food, then it can be nice to not have to do it on the ground. A small, collapsible camping table doesn’t take up much space and can be attached to a rucksack.

Camping Chair

Those who are comfortable with themselves probably also think it's nice to not have to sit on the ground. A camping chair from Snow Peak, despite its luxurious design, weighs only 3.5kg and can therefore easily transported to the campsite.

Fleece Jumper

If we continue to talk about the layer-on-layer principle, then a fleece jumper must represent the insulation of the house. Protected by the other garments, it is its responsibility to keep the wearer comfortable and warm.

Rucksack

The rucksack is the best way to store and transport the things you bring with you out into the nature. If it is made from a water-resistant nylon fabric, it will also keep the contents dry.

Shoulder Bag

It can be annoying to have to take a rucksack on and off every time you have to find something. A small shoulder bag is therefore be a good accessory where important things can be stored easily and be accessible.

Umbrella

If you do not trust a jacket to keep dry, a small lightweight umbrella can be a good addition to pack.

Down Jacket

The down jacket can be worn both as a warming intermediate layer in combination with a water-resistant shell jacket. If, on the other hand, as in this case, it is treated with a DWR coating (Durable Water Repellent), it can be worn as the outer layer and still withstand rain and wet snow.
