Waterproof vs. water-resistant
- Waterproof/breathable: keeps out hard, driving rain while also being breathable
- Waterproof/nonbreathable: a slicker or poncho—inexpensive but traps heat
- Water-resistant: can handle light to moderate rain, breathable but permeable
Windproof vs. wind-resistant
- Waterproof jackets are also windproof, do not let wind pass through fibers
- Wind-resistant jackets are lighterweight but won't handle a squall
Hard shell vs. soft shell
- Hard shell: the most protection, less breathability, not insulated
- Soft shell: stretchy and breathable, best for high-exertion, typically water-resistant, not -proof
Rainwear layers
- 2-layer: quietest, midweight, durable moderately priced
- 2.5-layer: lightweight, good protection, lowest priced

Key features to look for in hike clothing
- Moisture wicking: moves sweat to the outer surface while also drying quickly; that lets you break a sweat without feeling clammy or chilled
- Sun-protective fabric: Choose clothing with a UPF rating to protect yourself from harmful UV exposure; a higher rating means better sun protection
- Quick drying: materials that dry quickly keep you cool, comfortable and dry
- Insect repellent: treated with active ingredients to help keep ticks, mosquitoes and other bugs at bay
Hike clothing fabrics
- Merino wool: has fine fibers that make it soft, breathable, moisture-wicking, reasonably quick to dry and not prone to retaining odors.
- Polyester/nylon: Generally less expensive than merino wool, these synthetics excel at wicking sweat and drying fast; many incorporate recycled materials
Dress in layers
- Start with a base layer that wicks sweat off your skin; this includes underwear, a bra, hiking shirt and hiking pants
- Add a middle layer to retain body heat in colder conditions; this could be a fleece jacket, an insulated vest or puffy jacket
- An outer layer, like a rain jacket, shields you from wind and rain
