]]>Hiking in the summertime is all fun and games until you open your backpack and notice that your sunscreen is nowhere to be found. You should never hit the trail without it, especially since wearing long-sleeved clothes isn’t always an option once summer arrives.
It’s no secret that you should wear lightly-colored clothes while hiking in the summer because dark clothes absorb sunlight faster, but that’s not the only thing you should keep in mind when picking your hiking outfit. Wearing a hat is a must because it’s the only way to protect your head from direct sunlight.
The less you’re exposed to the sun, the less likely it is you’ll be dealing with sunburns by the end of your hike. The trail you pick makes all the difference and it’s highly recommended to go for one that provides enough shade, especially if you’re going to spend the whole day outside.
