Layering is key.
While hiking uphill, your body generates a lot of heat, so you’ll often feel hot and can hike in just 2–3 layers (for example: thermal underwear + fleece + windbreaker).
But during rest stops, your body cools down quickly, so it’s important to immediately put on an extra layer or jacket to avoid getting cold or catching a chill.
Recommended Clothing List:
• Thermal underwear (top and bottom)
• 2–3 T-shirts
• Warm fleece sweater
• Light down jacket with a hood (suitable for +5°C temperatures)
• Rain jacket (as rain is possible along the way)
• Light trekking pants
• Trekking shorts
• Sun hat (cap, bucket hat, bandana, etc.)
• Buff / beanie
• Light gloves
• Additional clothing suitable for temperatures between +5°C and +25°C
• Swimwear (for visiting radon hot springs)
