UTE MOUNTAINEER CLOTHING & EQUIPMENT

BASIC CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT CHECKLIST FOR TREKKING
This section deserves your attention. You will need to bring clothing and equipment that can be used in a wide spectrum of weather conditions. Within the same 24 hour period, it can be freezing cold in the morning, sunny and warm with blue skies during the day, raining or snowing by late afternoon and back to freezing cold at night. You must balance between being properly clothed and equipped with your weight allowance and your budget. Along with the information on this page, we encourage you to contact us with any questions as you get ready for your trip and / or before you consider making an expensive gear purchase. Remember: The layering of clothing is considered an outdoor art form.

The Ute Mountaineer provides summer and winter outdoor clothing and gear from over 300 leading manufacturers including Patagonia, Marmot, Arc'Teryx, North Face, Mountain Hardware, Cloudveil, Camelback, Salomon, Lowa, Fischer and more. Their passion for hiking, camping and backpacking is surpassed only by the commitment they make to their customers' needs, before and after the sale. The Ute understands what you need because they use the equipment that they sell year-round in the Colorado Rockies. In this section, we have created some links to recommended item pages on the Ute Mountaineer's online store.
