Camping Ratgeber:
The right clothing for day trips & hikes
Of course, when camping, you spend most of your time in nature and in the open air.
Whether it’s a short hike or a longer day trip – there can be serious temperature fluctuations, sudden rain or wind at any time.
So that you don’t have to cut your trip short and can still enjoy yourself, you should have the right outdoor clothing with you in advance.
What you should consider when choosing your clothes
First and foremost, make sure that your clothing is comfortable, but above all windproof and waterproof!
Ideally, your clothing should consist of two or even three layers, keep you warm in cool temperatures and be breathable in warm weather.
Nevertheless, it should be as light as possible so that you don’t have to carry unnecessary weight around on your excursions.
What’s more, outdoor vacations are often accompanied by mosquitoes.
So when buying, make sure that the material is mosquito-proof so that they can’t bite you.
The perfect outdoor clothing is made up of a combination of these features!
Your outdoor clothing should have the following features:
- Wind and waterproof
- Comfortable and lightweight
- Two to three layers
- Breathable
- Mosquito-proof

But what exactly should I consider when choosing my jacket, trousers and shoes?
Which outdoor jacket is most suitable?
When choosing your jacket, it depends on the region you are traveling to and the time of year.
Double jacket – A double jacket is definitely recommended.
Thanks to its 3-in-1 function, this combines the advantages of a softshell and a hard shell jacket.
The individual layers can be removed as required and reattached with a press stud.
Rain jacket – Another option would be a rain jacket.
This does not take up much space, is windproof, breathable and abrasion-resistant and is therefore ideal for camping.
Fleece jacket – A fleece jacket should also be on your packing list.
It impresses with its dense material and usually serves as a warming mid-layer.
It keeps the warmth close to the body, but is moisture-regulating and breathable and therefore dries very quickly if it gets wet.

Various outdoor pants in comparison
Robust, windproof, waterproof and breathable trousers are probably the most important accessory, especially for sporty leisure activities, hikes or bike tours.
You don’t have to worry about whether your trousers will withstand the weather and can concentrate fully on your vacation and your time in nature.
Here too, there are different models to choose from depending on your preferences and destination.
While trekking trousers are the all-rounder for both summer and winter camping, shorts or zip-off trousers are more suitable for warmer temperatures.
Rain trousers are the perfect addition.

If you are planning a short day trip, hiking boots are perfectly adequate.
Trekking boots are recommended for more extensive hikes, while mountain boots are the ideal companion for tours in the mountains and on strenuous trails.
