These are the best backpacking layers at EVERY budget! In this video I break down complete sets of backpacking layers at three very different price tiers - $300 vs. $600 vs. $1200! While the cost of all this backpacking apparel varies widely in price, all of it is clothing I endorse for backpacking (or hiking) and I think is worth its cost! When it comes to the ideal set of backpacking layers, the ones you choose and love will likely combine pieces from all three price tiers, just like mine! So at the end of this video I share how I would combine certain apparel from all three budgets to form my personal favorite set of backpacking layers that I take on most of my trips. I hope you enjoy! 💚
