Are you looking forward to camping in the great outdoors this fall? High five! That makes two of us. Before you pack your bags and head out of town, though, you need to consider the type of outdoor clothes you need to wear, as well as the weather, terrain, and activities to plan for during the days in and around your campsite.

No, you don’t just pick whatever shirt is available in your favorite retail outlet. You need to prioritize functionality and fabric. For example, investing in a high-quality outdoor jacket and moisture-wicking clothing is a wise decision as it will make your trip more comfortable. Meanwhile, wearing hiking pants and long-sleeve shirts or performance t-shirts wards off pesky insects and protects you from the unpredictable weather.
