- Apparel is season- and region-specific (temperature, precipitation, brush). This category benefits from more guidance than hard product picks (layering, merino vs synthetic, waterproofing).
How to choose (fast)
- Layering: base + insulation + shell.
- Quiet fabric matters more than you think.
- Boot/sock system can make or break the day.
