Camp Clothes: Clothing for a better Camping Experience

Camp clothing should require more thought than your everyday wardrobe. You may be exposed to many different weather conditions so putting some serious consideration into your camp clothes is vital to your comfort. Outdoor clothing has come a long way in recent years. Perfectly suitable camp clothes, the durable, high insulating, quick drying materials available today are nothing short of amazing. Though they come in many brand names they all do about the same job with varying degrees of sucess. A good quick dry (usually some type of nylon cloth) pair of pants and long sleeve shirt are a good start.

Some types of quick dry pants come with legs that zip off to convert to shorts, which can be handy. The only problem with these is that they do not hold up well to having bug spray used on them. If this is a concern I would recommend finding some military surplus battle dress uniform (b.d.u.) pants and shirts. I would get the nylon cotton versions, sometimes called nyco or enhanced hot weather. They are comfortable and wear like iron. Make certain they are mil. spec. (military specification) and not mil. style (military style). There are plenty of knock-offs out there and you want the real thing not a cheap imitation.
