A self-respecting man knows that there are suitable clothes for every occasion. For this reason, he knows that trekking or hiking clothes are clearly very different from any other that you would use to exercise in the gym in your neighborhood, to the clothes that you would use to practice yoga or those that you usually take for casual walks in the nearest park. And that is why there are times when it is better to wear the most suitable garments that meet the requirements and demands of the context in which you are so that you feel more comfortable, especially if the situation in which you are involved is walking adventurer taking a hike through the forest.
So, what to wear to do this activity? When building your trekking outfits you must take into account several factors. You must go with the appropriate clothing, since doing sports in the mountains is not something that you should take lightly. The first thing to do is follow the law of the three layers. The first layer must be breathable, which means that a cotton t-shirt is totally prohibited, because when trekking you sweat; so a breathable garment allows sweat to dry quickly. The second layer is the one that will provide us with shelter, preventing the heat produced by our body from escaping. In this way, even if it is cold, we stay warm. The most recommended is a fleece jacket, a basic for the winter season. And finally, there is the layer that will protect us from the outside, this layer will prevent rain, snow, wind and others from penetrating our body.
Now that we have described how your outfit should be, we list some trekking clothing brands that you should know to put together your looks with pure quality pieces and capable of withstanding the rough passage.

A good trekking outfit or for walking in the mountains cannot be complete without a fleece jacket from the Patagonia brand. We love it, not only because it is a brand that claims to have very good quality (especially the jackets that we have just mentioned), but also because of the low environmental impact they have when making their garments.
