What do you wear (clothes, not gear) hiking?
This is just one of many projects that I am working on (a primer of what and what not to wear when hiking), but am curious to know what you people wear when you hike?
Ranging from short hikes (2-3 hrs, say up Waterfall Canyon, Adams Canyon, Angel's Landing) to long hikes (multi-days/backpacking).
Get specific too if you don't mind. Such as 100% cotton, 50% cotton 50% poly, 100% poly shirts, cargo pants, convertible long pants into short pants with the zipper by the knee, underarmor, levis, hiking boots, sandals, swimming trunks, beanies, windbreakers, sweaters, etc etc etc.
One reason I ask is because when I go hiking on short/long hikes, even canyoneering, it seems like people always go underprepared and just go in a 100% cotton shirt, some cargo shorts, and sandals. I've seen that many times in the Subway. Granted on hot summer days, that might be okay for some people. But for most, I believe, it would not.
I've even seen people hike the Zion Narrows in Crocks (sp?)...but it "worked" for them...but most, it would not. I've seen others in caves with pajama bottoms, and some people hiking Timpanagous in flip-flops (no lie!).
And besides, I could probably learn a few things or two.
Anywho, enough rambling....
Oh and Feel free to include pictures too!
