Proper technical clothing that is light weight, dries quickly and packs up small is the way to go. A big down jacket for keeping warm in camp is essential too. It’s a good idea to take at least a couple of pairs of gloves and socks also. Most importantly clothing needs to be reliable and bombproof – a broken zip or leaky outerwear might not be a big deal at the resort but deep in the backcountry it’s a different matter.
