CLOTHING

A good rule is to prefer to dress a little better than you'd think the occasion demands. Just as it is inconvenient to get to simply dressed for a party it is uncomfortable to be for simply dressed in nature - but in a purely physical sense. As you dress in layers so it's easy to adapt when you come out and notice that it's time to pick off anything. There is in my opinion no greater need for overly expensive clothes if you go out on a half-day trips when the weather is nice. While I have no good experience with the cheapest garments. But buying clothes that are made to be worn in the woods is a good investment.

Beanie

Keeping a cool head might be good if in an emergency. But that has nothing to the headgear to be or not be done. More than 50 percent of heat is lost through the head. Hat, scarf and a hood is crucial to how fast it cools. It may seem a little excessive, many walks around without a hat. But why make life more uncomfortable than it need be.

Jacket

A good jacket reduces the need for rain gear because they usually get as much moisture as many rain jackets. Has a Didrikson windbreaker that has four or five years old. It has worked perfectly in all temperatures and weather. Now it's time to brush up on the impregnation. The best thing about the jacket is that it has many, many small pockets. Virtually all good jackets have a hood, a factor necessary on a day when it is biting wind.

Pants

A few years ago I bought a pair of outdoors-pants brand Pinewood on Fishing and Sport Constance . The advantages are that they are wind resistant, withstands a lot of rain, are durable and provide excellent mobility. When I choose pants I watch a lot of movement, pockets and materials (permeability, weight, durability). For me, shorts no alternative in the forest-as long pants provide better protection against ticks.

Boots

At one point I bought a pair of outdoor shoes that were airy and comfortable to have in the summer. But because they were low so I had no support for the ankles. It is often that you are walking on uneven, rocky or wet terrain and it was the shoes, no big shot. I have two pair of boots I alternate between. A pair of ankle high Salomon hiking boots that I use in summer and in dry weather, a few higher hiking boots that I've had for ages. Lubricates if you just use them occasionally so they can really wet land without getting wet feet. For really wet conditions, I have a few as old Tretorn Sarek hiking boots that also has over 20 years old. Good fotdon pays off in the long run.

Sweater

I do not have specialinköpt outdoor sweater. In summer I use the old bike shirts that I've had lying. They are light, they breathe and dry quickly. It is the same material as is found in most functional shirts. In spring and autumn, I have a regular shirt. As I like to have access to all pockets in the jacket so I have not seen any need to invest in a Windstopper-shirt, which otherwise seems to be a great garment. Otherwise works of course a classic moderately thick woolen sweater well both on spring and autumn. In the picture you see a shirt from Pinewood.

Underwear

Underwear is a story in itself. Cotton, wool, merino wool, thermal, etc. The only thing I am certain of is that it goes on as soon as the temperature creeps down around five plus mark. Personally, I have a fairly normal praised functional underwear that wicks away moisture and keeps me dry.

How you dress is of course up to each one. Sometimes you see people in the card that sings about in the grass, begging for a tick bite. It looks fine folks of walking shoes to walk among the slippery rocks. It's not just about preventing accidents (if one can call nonsense of accidents), but about creating the conditions for pleasant experiences.
