Trekking Outfit for Men: Olive Field Jacket, Beige Polo and Hiking Boots

Styled by our editors · Updated · 4 pieces · Complete look ₹6,340 · Prices checked

The outfit

This is trek layering in miniature: a light polo for the climb and a hooded field jacket for the windy stop at the top. The deep olive jacket frames the stone beige polo, the olive boots close the frame below, and pale grey cargos are the neutral middle. What to keep in mind: Every piece here is cotton or polycotton, and no listing states waterproofing. It suits easy day treks in cool, dry weather, not altitude or sustained rain.

Our verdict

A trekking outfit for men on an easy day trek in cool, dry weather: a light polo to climb in, a hooded field jacket for the top and boots that grip.

What we like

  • Two light layers adjust to the climb and the summit better than one heavy one.
  • The olive jacket and olive boots frame the outfit, with grey and beige between them.
  • The hood and zip close the jacket against wind and drizzle.
  • The cargos and boots each return in another look in this edit.

Keep in mind

  • The jacket is polycotton, not heavy canvas, and not a waterproof shell.
  • The light beige polo shows stains on a muddy trail.
  • Every base piece is cotton, which holds sweat on a long or cold trek.

Why it works

Trekking clothes work in layers, and this outfit shows the logic with two. The polo is the light layer you climb in; the field jacket goes on at the windy stop and comes off on the way down. Several light layers adjust to a day better than one heavy one, which is why trek operators teach them. Colour follows the same plan. The deep olive jacket worn open frames a stone beige strip at the chest, and the olive boots close the frame at the bottom, with pale grey cargos as the neutral middle. The jacket's flap pockets and the cargos' side pockets mean no bag is needed for a short walk. Swap the jacket for the Belano corduroy and the outfit moves from trail to campfire: warmer and softer, but corduroy drinks rain and is too warm on a humid coast. Swap the grey cargos for olive chinos and the outfit turns all olive, quieter but flatter.

Frequently asked questions

What to wear for a trek in India for men?
For an easy day trek: a light top, a wind layer, cargos with room to move and broken-in boots with a lug sole. For high-altitude or multi-day treks, add a synthetic base layer, a fleece and a waterproof shell, because cotton is not enough there.
Is a polo t shirt good for trekking?
On a short, cool, dry trek, yes. A cotton blend polo is comfortable and looks tidy at the stay, but it holds sweat, so on long or cold climbs a synthetic tee works better.
