@tomnoyb83012 жыл бұрын
White is much cooler in the hot sun. Since emission and absorption are symmetric, white is also warmer at night, because it radiates less heat. That's one reason white attracts fewer mosquitoes, because mosquitoes use infrared to detect prey, so mosquitoes gravitate toward the person with dark clothing. Yes white shows more dirt, but dark is just as dirty; it's just harder to tell.
@martinerhard84472 жыл бұрын
wait mosquitos dont use infrared to detect prey and also colors like khaki dont attract them they have multiple sensory organs detecting prey in different ways and yes some colors have a slight effect like red white colors wont help in a significant way to radiate less heat from your body though Really the main issue I see is that when you dont want to stick out (regular backpacking) you do with white and also when you do want to stick out more (like winter backpacking) you dont. And white is generally worse for UV resistance on different materials

Quilt in stuffsak Inflatable pad Mesh bag clothes sack Outside the packliner: Shelter Raingear Foodbag Cook kit on side of food bag. Fleece or puffy on top IF... It's cold enough to need to put on when stop. There is also often a single ziplock bag with a anker battery, carkey, money/id. That's it, that's all that's inside my pack.
