Spandex Shorts |
These are the cheep type, not the heavier
bike style. They prevent chaffing of the thighs and don't freak people out
like walking around in your underwear. |

Polypropylene Sock Liners |
Black thin sock liner by Brigade
Quartermaster. Honestly I go without socks now much of the time. |

Nike Running Shoes |
Something new I'm trying. Don't do this
unless you have a low pack weight and good ankles. Running shoes have many
advantages over boots, and I no longer need camp shoes. |

Nike Army Shorts |
Polyester shorts with US Army logo. Has nice
large cargo pockets. |
5.0 |
Dufold Coolmax T-Shirt |
Quick drying which is very important in
hot summers and cold winters. |
2.5 |
Nike Cool Hat |
Hat using coolmax and a design to help
improve cooling. It also helps to keep water out of your eyes in the rain
when used with your rain hood, and it keeps the sun out of your eyes when
you are in the sun. |
