/out/ clothing

Hello effay

>>813923
How is it fa? If i gave a fuck about fashion i'd be walking up a mountain in a $500 suit like a retard

I'm looking for recommendations on gear that will be suitable

>shoes/boots
Insert brand name hiking boots. Buy in the store where you can try them out. Not online.
>socks
Most boot companies sell socks too
>pants
I prefer TruSpec BDU twill pants in olive drab.
>underwear
Elastic breathable boxers and a thin wife beater
>tshirt / underlayer
Whatever you like
>outer layer / jumper
Thin fleece jacket from walmart
>waterproof shell
I got a surplus poncho that lives in my backpack

Taller hiking boots are a good start, you'd need something to hold your ankle well as well as provide comfort. Alternatives could be modern tactical boots, but overall, few manufactures are worth checking:
Haix and Lowa (primarily Zephyr GTX models)

>TruSpec
Oyvey, not that shit. Don't listen to him, if you are in the US of A, just grab surplus ripstop Woodland M81 BDU pants, they go for like 10 bucks average in ArmyNavy surplus stores.

For tops, just go get some softshell or fleece jackets, they will keep you insulated and warm. Or you could look for MA-1 or CWU-45 flight jackets, those fuckers can resist cold wind and keep warmth inside the jackets. (Even a M65 field jacket with insulation that you can buy will do well).

And all of those can be found in surplus stores cheaply.

>ripstop

Get in your knees without pulling up your legs a little and enjoy freeballing. Twill is the way to go and my two truspec BDUs never let me down during the last four years and about 5000 miles of hiking.

If I want to pay triple the amount of money for one overpriced pair of pants that I can get for 10 fucking dollars in a regular surplus shop, that do the same job, I would go to Pentagon or Brandit.

>Thinking this is a camo drooling thread
Nigger, the BDU pants in surplus come in Woodland mostly, that is the cheapest one he can find. 10 fucking bucks for one pair of pants that will last a lifetime.

>over 9000 miles of hiking

M81 woodland was retired from the US military a long time ago. I just like it because it looks cool.

any good like, "full sets" of clothing for /out/ ? like some milsurp stuff? with rainjacket/pants/ underlayer the whole thing? like the GORKA maybe or something?

This could be subitled what are your preferences for each layer.
Head: baseball cap or some kind of ear covering knit cap.
Base torso: white cotton tee or synthetic compression resistant thermal.
Mid torso: merino hoodie or a slightly thicker hoodie.
Top torso: Water resistant soft shell or rain jacket.
For my Torso I like Helly Hansen, and if I can afford it Patagonia and Arc'teryx.
Base legs: boxers/compression shorts, possible thermal similar to torso.
Legs: shorts or pants, fuck snowpants unless i am hunting. I love prAna stretch zions, like northface blazers and can't afford Arc'teryx betas.
Shoes/socks: either NB minimus with no socks, or LaCrosse Ice Kings with variations of liners, thin inner sock and thick outer sock.
Of course waders are always in style.

Figure out what you want, read some gear reviews, learn the basics, buy something reasonable that fits as many of the criteria you want, develop a personal style and hopefully you will repair something you like more often than you replace something you don't. I have had the same pair of rocky longjohns for 15 years and the helly hansen hoodie for 10. A bit of basic sewing and seamgrip have kept the wear from advancing too far.
I know there may be better gear, but I like my gear.

Final tips. Most brands rely on almost never having a low quality item go on the market. They may have unusable belt-loops or remove heel loops, but the stitching and materials almost always are worth it.
Avoid UnderArmour everything they make sucks. Never use their cold gear or whatever line.
Do your research on materials, look at minor seams to gauge quality, try shit on, are the pockets deep enough, are the pants fucking loud? Think, will these pants stretch or tear when I dyno to that ledge? Do I even care about that? Do I want shoes that are water proof for shallow water but hot, heavy and need a convection oven and a week to dry out, or a light cool pair that cloud seeds when it dries.

I don't know what you mean other than millsurp, recreating another century's style, or being a brand whore. Honestly, just using the shit you have is probably best so long as you aren't wearing jeans in a swamp. Cotton takes a bit more effort to dry but it is easy to launder and cheap to replace. Unless you are doing something often enough to require the special gear you don't need it. You don't need a 100g four season bivy for a summer overnighter just as you don't need pro fishing gear (tm) shorts for a day-hike.

Getting outside more and doing shit has developed a personal style without me ever thinking about how it looks, the result is I found I really like the way my clothes look, I can remember most of the repairs and the terrifying moments that lead to liberal use of seamgrip. I have had most of my clothes longer than all but one of my friends.

fucking sweet! thanks sc/out/

Just wear normal clothes. If you want something /out/ get a down puffy jacket, that's pretty much it in your situation. Considering you are trying to get a full outfit ready by the weekend and buying everything online.
Go hike and surround yourself with /out/ culture and people in the coming weeks and months. See what they are wearing, have some gear talk.

I'd recommend for you to not buy boots, especially if you're buying all this shit online. Wear normal sneakers. If you want to drop some $$$ and "fit in" get some trailrunners. You don't need boots unless your pack weights 50+ or you are trying to be effay for the sake of being effay. Down the road you can get boots tho when you have a better general knowledge of gear. Be prepared to do a lot of research online, going to REI, trying on all their boots, buying a pair you think is perfect because they fit perfectly and are comfortable, and returning it for full price 2 weeks later because the comfortability of boots completely changes when you hike all day for a day or longer. Repeat this until you find the proper boots or if you get blacklisted before then.

Also, I'd seriously recommend throwing down $40 for two pairs of Darn Tough Socks. They are snug as fuck and durable as fuck. If you were to go /our/ every weekend, they'd easily last you a whole year. Best part is that you can return them when they are beyond fucked and they'll give you a new pair on the house, forever. Or at least until their business model changes.

Source: I hiked the PCT and basically live /out/ 90% of the year every year.

This thread is so cringe. Op doesn't even say where he is, climate, intended purpose or budget. And no anons bother asking, either.

On point anon. Good tips, and good taste in gear.

I never understood UnderArmor either. I live in Baltimore (the place it originated) and everyone is fucking gaga for that shit. To me, they are about on par with some garbage workout wear you'd buy from Walmart or direct from china off Amazon.

Sorry to be so brand heavy, but I saved my pennies and bought a Arcteryx rain shell. Super nice, and incredibly durable bit of gear despite seeming flimsy being ultralight. That said, not sure if it's worth the extra $200 over something like a Marmot or REI. The grass is always greener I suppose.

I am sure he knows how to dress himself for his climate, telling him what to avoid and what to look for as well as pointing his research in the right direction I think is universally helpful.
An outdoors store is a whole new world from a department store and learning a whole new set of brands can be overwhelming. The Kmart isn't king anymore.

>>815129
A rainshell is next in my list. If I find something I like better than the Arc'teryx Alpha FL I hope it is at least cheaper.
Brands are unavoidable. One isn't always the best but damn I hate Arc'teryx for being so durable and well thought out that you feel bad bitching about price.

Gorka 4 bars
Salomon goretex boots
Merino wool socks
Merino wool beanie
Long/thermal underwear
Sweat wicking shirt
Shemagh
Polyester shorts
Boonie hat or baseball cap
And you're pretty much set

>>815596
Oh shit! and a wool sweater and shitty rain poncho.
Don't need to break the bank.
Wool and synthetic sweat wickers are your friends.
Mechanix gloves if you think you'll be that cold.
Bear in mind, this is all what I wore for a few days camping in northern CA during summer and I was comfy as fuck. Don't take my advice if you live in snow or desert.

Get yourself a hiking stick while you're at it. If you are a novice to hiking a tripod is always better than a bipod.

I had a pair of zephyrs (non gtx) and I didn't like them. They were comfortable, but when I was hiking downhill, my toes would buckle into a small crevice near the tip of the shoes. I've never had a problem like that before. It really sucked and I was worried I might lose a nail or something.
Returned them right after the trip.
Could it have been that the insoles I put in didn't extend all the way down the shoe?

bright t shirt
track pants or shorts depending on weather
basic runners

That's all I wear when I'm moving around; don't need much on the torso as it's not cold enough here.

I like long pants to protect from scrapes, but when it's too hot it's silly to wear such (overheat more and you use more of your water).

I keep it simple.

Are you just going camping or are you climbing Mt.Everest?

Cotton isn’t a problem 90% of the time and cotton cargo / work pants and t-shits are fine.

I would get synthetic “moisture release” socks and underwear though, and you’ll want a Polartec type fleece jacket and a GoreTex shell parka to go over it.

For boots, there’s dozens and dozens of different light hiker boots available but I’d suggest leather construction, metal eyelets and GoreTex liner.

if OP is posting such a general thread on 4chins you really think he can discern between whats appropriate for his climate when it comes to what amounts to specialised equipment?

All the anons are shilling their preferred systems without even considering what OP is looking to do.

>>816948
Is that a tactical kilt?

>>818032
if it aint tartan, pleated, and worn with a sporran its a fucking skirt
