Hikers, trail runners, climbers and all outdoor enthusiasts alike, these are the items you’ll need to escape to nature in style.

It’s time to stop overpacking your getaway bag with unnecessary items.Trek the trails with these must-have camping essentials.

Jacket

You checked the weather channel for weeks—no rain, only sun. Unfortunately, the weather changes in the spur of the moment. The right jacket will help you avoid getting stuck in the rain or huddling around your campfire. Pack a windbreaker that doesn’t take up room or add weight to your backpack as you hike up those steep hills.

Pants

Bring the cargo pants back to its home territory—nature. The pants you wear on the weekends transition well into the wilderness. Rugged and indestructible, these hardworking pants are everything you need for your wildest adventures. Campground clothes should be loose and comfortable so opt for a relaxed fit.

Shirts

Leave your most treasured tops at home for this trip. The last thing you want is your nice shirt getting ripped, stained or even burned. Go for a long sleeve T-shirt that will keep you warm during the morning. If you’ll have an active afternoon planned look for materials that will wick away your moisture. Linen or rayon will keep you fresh and dry throughout your journey.

Socks

The best hiking boots have to be partnered up with the right socks. Wool or synthetic material dry fast and let your feet and toes breathe. For maximum comfort and blister prevention, wear two layers of socks. Bring a few extra pairs for unexpected rainstorms.

Camping is a whole lot better with the right wardrobe. Gear up for your next outdoor trip with these essentials.
