Clothing for a weekend of a lot of walking

Short answer: Many kilometres over two days mean chafing and wet feet decide the trip. Long legs and two pairs of socks a day solve both.

The chafing comes after day one

On the first day you barely notice it. On the second the skin is already irritated. Long legs prevent it from the start. See bamboo underpants for men.

Two pairs of socks a day

A change mid day keeps the feet dry and prevents blisters better than any product. See all bamboo socks for men.

Dry the shoes overnight

A shoe worn two days running never gets dry. Stuff newspaper in and leave them open. See all bamboo socks for women.

A layer you can take off

You get warm while walking and cold when you stop. See sweat clothing.

Wash along the way

If you wash the underwear in the evening, two sets are enough. See washing and care.
