Once your buff gets sweaty, take it off, wring it out, grab a corner and spin it for about 15 to 20 seconds. The air cools it off just like if you were to dip it in a creek.

Great advice, Amanda. I would also add that a wide-brim hat, while dorky-looking, can really help. Some even have a removable evaporation pad in the crown that you can remove and soak in cold water for additional cooling. Love my Tilley hat.

That's a great idea! Believe it or not, I've been thinking about getting a wide-brim hat for hiking and I love the idea of the removable section that you can soak in cold water. Thanks for the tip!

Love this video. I almost get heat exhaustion every single time when I go hiking in summer , wether it's easy or moderate and shades or no shades. Hope I could get rid of it in my next hiking in late Aug.

Any suggestions for folks hiking in the humid summers of the Eastern United States? I imagine the same tips hold true. However, it gets very sticky in the Mid-Atlantic states.

While light clothing does reflect light it is not as effective as dark clothing for UV protection. In general strongly dyed dark clothes are better. The reason light clothing can have UPF 50+ is by having a dense weave such that light doesn't pass through (easy to check). Thanks for the vid.

Was looking for this in the comments. Unless your light colored clothes are specifically SPF protective clothes, wear the darker ones. Yes it makes you hot, but better than being burned/having to put sunscreen beneath the clothes.

no you’re so right about long sleeves (depending on material) i wore long sleeve shirts and pants hiking in morocco where it was blazing hot but i was kept very cool. tip i learned there: a gentleman in marrakech who sold me an overpriced silk scarf told me to wear it around my neck and head during my hike and it would keep me cool. i was sceptical but tried it. in addition to looking stylish (heyoo), he wasn’t kidding, it really helped.

I used to wear light colored clothes a lot in summer hikes thinking they’re gonna reflect off the sun but after doing some research i found out light colored clothing are actually less protective against UV than darker colored clothes. Yes dark color makes you feel warmer, but they also protect you from getting burned. For people who hike in desert conditions, it might be a good idea to invest in some SPF protection long sleeve shirts/pants. They don’t have the best ventilation but they protect you.

I rock hemp shorts, a linen shirt and a straw hat. I might look like someone's poor cousin at a yacht party but what the hell. Arab head scarf works too. Although hiking in scorching heat is not a great idea in the first place. Proper hydration is key.

I survived working in extreme heat by using the following free hack; 1. Freeze bottles of water. 2. Tie a pair of socks together at the toes. 3. Place two frozen bottles of water inside the socks. 4. Put the sock cooler around your neck. 5. Tie the loose ends together and tuck inside your shirt. 6. Will keep you cool for about two hours in extreme heat. 7. When the ice melts you have ice water at your disposal.

Great advice. I would love for you to make a "What I wear backpacking" video. I always struggle with finding cute clothes for backpacking. I feel like so many hiking clothes out there look like clothes that my mom would wear. The hiking clothes that you wear are so cute. I typically hike in wooded areas and have to wear long pants due to ticks and poison ivy.

For the Capilene Cool Hooded Shirt, I have a size M. I tried the S and it was a little too tight around my shoulder and upper arms. For the Sunshade Hoodie (the blue shirt I showed in the video), I have a size S but I think I would buy a M next time. I hope this helps!

Yes. Ticks aren't as big of a problem where I live, so I don't worry about them that much, but if I was hiking on the east coast, for example, I would probably wear a lightweight pant and do a scan after each hike.

Nuun has way too much Magnesium and tastes terrible. Magnesium is a diuretic, causing dehydration, among other issues in the desert. SaltStick is much more effective. SaltStick is pure electrolyte (thus weighing less for the same impact), properly balanced and (therefore) tastes good.

@tomnoyb8301 Жыл бұрын
Also, why would one add a buff, when they already have the recommended hoodie? Dip part, or the whole hoodie in that same theoretical desert water? As long as one has all that water around, might as well pour some on hair and hat/ballcap too.
