Beyond a backpack, hikers must always ensure that the clothing they are wearing is comfortable and functional. Hikers need to be prepared for all kinds of weather, which means that hiking clothes need to be designed for some of the harshest environments. Some examples of innovative hiking apparel includes sting-proof mesh wear, camouflaged layers, warm wool outerwear and even durable denim jeans.
