Summer Camping Essentials: Rugged Outdoor Clothing & Gear for Your Next Adventure
There’s something about summer that calls us outside. The days stretch long, the evenings glow gold, and the nights invite you to slow down under a sky full of stars. Whether you’re planning a weekend escape close to home or heading completely off-grid, having the right gear makes all the difference between a trip that’s memorable for the right reasons - and one you’d rather forget.
We’ve pulled together the ultimate kit for your next adventure. Think rugged jackets that stand up to the elements, breathable tees and bottoms for all-day comfort, and footwear ready for both trails and campfires. This is camping style without compromise - designed to last, look good, and work hard.
Outerwear That Works as Hard as You Do
Even in summer, the outdoors can surprise you with a sudden chill when the sun dips. That’s where a dependable jacket becomes your best friend.
- The Carver Green Jacket – Built from durable, mid-weight fabric with a clean, functional design. Perfect for layering when the air turns crisp.
- The Ryder Hardware Canvas Jacket – Hard-wearing with a structured fit that blocks the wind, yet comfortable enough for everyday wear.
- The Boxcar Coach Jacket in Navy – Lightweight and versatile, ideal for those in-between temperatures when you’re moving between sun and shade.
Tees & Bottoms: Comfort Meets Utility
Your clothing should keep up with your pace, whether you’re hiking to a lookout, gathering firewood, or simply stretching out in a hammock.
- Henley Raw – A timeless base layer with breathable cotton for all-day wear.
- Easy Chinos Blue – Sun protection meets smart style. The UV finish makes them perfect for long days outdoors.
- Crew Henley Striped – Adds a touch of character without sacrificing comfort.
- Surplus Camo Shorts – Practical pockets and a rugged finish for easy movement.
- Wet Sand Henley – A soft neutral shade that works with everything.

Layers for Cool Mornings and Campfire Nights
The Finch Sweatshirt is your go-to for when the temperature drops. Easy to pull on after a dip in the lake or to keep you warm as you stargaze by the fire. It’s the layer you’ll end up wearing more than you expect.
Shade, Comfort & Accessories
Protecting yourself from the elements isn’t just about jackets.
- Cabin Trucker Cap – A classic design with breathable mesh back.
- &SONS Since Forever Trucker Cap – Vintage style, modern comfort.
- Essentials Bag – Keep all your small gear, phone, keys, knife, sunscreen, organised in one place.
Footwear Built for the Wild
Your boots and shoes take the brunt of every step, so quality matters.
- Drover Boots – Built for the toughest trails yet stylish enough for the local pub.
- Baseline Low Top Tan – Lightweight and casual, perfect for relaxed summer exploring.
- Valley Boots Rich Tan – Rugged leather that wears beautifully over time.
- Baseline Socks in Rust – Durable and comfortable, with a colour that pairs perfectly with earth-tone footwear.
Make Every Trip Count
Camping is about more than just a place to sleep - it’s about creating memories around the fire, waking to fresh air, and letting the day unfold at its own pace. The right gear means you can focus on the moments, not the mishaps.
So, pack your essentials, throw on your favourite jacket, and head out. Whether your summer adventure takes you deep into the wild or just to your favourite hidden spot, you’ll be ready for whatever the season has in store.
