General Outdoor
Clothing
The following items are considered essential
for a successful outing.
- Boots: Of heavy
lug construction, they should fit comfortably snug with free play
for toes and with little or no slippage on the heel. The boots
should be weather proofed and broken in before hiking.
- Socks: Four pairs recommended;
two of lightweight nylon and two of heavy wool. Wear one pair
of wool socks over one lightweight pair. The other two pairs go
into your pack in case you need dry socks.
- Pants: Constructed to
be loose, warm, comfortable, and quick drying. For added warmth,
wear polypropylene underwear.
- Shirts: Light, man-made
fiber - such as bunting or nylon pile - recommended for good insulating
quality and quick drying.
- Jacket: Mountain style
with a hood, windproofed, waterproofed, and sized large enough
to cover more insulating clothes worn under it.
- Head Covering: Styled
to retain body heat or provide shade as changing weather dictates.
- Gloves or Mittens.
- Rain Gear: A lightweight
poncho, or rain pants and hooded parka.
This list comes from the Colorado
