As the weather warms up, the hiking season begins. Tourists and outdoor enthusiasts are drawn to nature to breathe fresh air, take a break from the city and replenish their stock of beautiful photographs against a green background. Experienced hikers usually have a special wardrobe for forays into the forest. But novice tourists or amateurs should take an educational course on the topic of proper clothing in the forest. I will conduct it today.
Safety
First of all, you need to remember that in spring not only trees and flowers wake up, but also insects and other inhabitants of the forest. We are mainly talking about ticks. These small insects are especially active in the spring and can greatly harm your health. To protect yourself from their bites, it is necessary that clothing fits snugly to the body in all places.

Socks should be high. If the trousers have a loose fit, it is advisable to tuck them into socks. Pants with cuffs are ideal. The T-shirt should also be tucked into your trousers. Cover your hands well with a shirt. It is advisable to collect your hair, and even better to have a headdress.You should never wear modern socks, cropped skinnies or a short T-shirt in the forest.
Convenience
A walk through the thicket is not like a promenade along the boulevard. The road may be rough. Branches and thorns will definitely cling to your feet. In the mountains there are differences in height, and sometimes quite large ones. And the hike can take a long time, so you need to choose clothes that are comfortable and practical.

It is optimal to have several layers of clothing to regulate body temperature depending on the situation. It’s good to wear special thermal underwear that wicks away moisture and prevents you from freezing. If this is not the case, it is enough to use clothes made from natural materials. For the top layer, you should choose modern, breathable, water- and windproof fabrics.
Styles will have to be chosen only with a semi-adjacent silhouette. Tight clothes can fail at the most unexpected moment, unable to withstand the load. It’s especially convenient if your clothes have a lot of pockets that can accommodate a scarf, phone, flashlight and a couple of lollipops.

Special attention should be paid to the legs. You should not go into the forest in casual shoes with flat, smooth soles. This is not only harmful, but also potentially dangerous. Not only is it easy to slip on the path or rocks. By the end of the journey, your feet will feel all the roots and unevenness of the road. If you don’t have specialized trekking shoes, it is advisable to wear sports sneakers with grooved soles.
Colors
Many novice tourists believe that in the forest they need to wear everything green, protective and non-staining. This is a big misconception. Military style clothing is suitable for hunters who want to hide from game. Although there is a rule for them to wear bright vests.For a walk in the forest, clothes must be bright.
Colors should be chosen in contrasting greens. Red, pink, orange, white stand out well against the background of foliage and grass. This is especially true for children. Children should be dressed as smartly as possible. In case of unforeseen critical situations, it will be easy for rescuers to notice a bright spot among the monotonous greenery.
Not empty handed
Another important point is the backpack. Many novice tourists ignore this accessory. Meanwhile, this is a personal portable pantry of useful things. For a short walk in the forest, a small backpack with a volume of 35–40 liters is enough. If you are planning a long hike for several days, use a professional backpack from 60 to 100 liters. It is especially important to ensure that the back is breathable. This will keep your body cool while walking. The straps should be wide. Knapsacks on thin ropes will begin to press and rub your shoulders within an hour or two.

To briefly summarize the above: when going to the forest you need to dress as comfortable and practical as possible, as well as brightly. The ideal solution is modern sportswear.
