What\u2019s the best jacket to pack for Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a question that runs around our heads all the time when we\u2019re packing for our dream Kilimanjaro climb. Well, at last, we just decide to bring any type of jacket we think will give us the most warmth. Because you\u2019ll of course need several jackets to feel comfortable and safe on your Kilimanjaro Hike<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s because, when you Climb Mount Kilimanjaro<\/strong> up to the summit,  you\u2019ll be hiking through five different climate zones.  And each climate zone comes with its own unique weather conditions but it\u2019s mostly cold at night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And\nsince the primary purpose of a jacket is to provide warmth, it\u2019s important to\nhave the best jackets with you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, let\u2019s start by going over the 3 types of jackets you need to have with while Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro<\/strong> \u2013 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fleece Jackets <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fleece jackets are also called soft jackets. Fleece jackets are needed for everyday use on the trail for mildly cool temperatures. They should be the first things to put in your Kilimanjaro Packing List<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fleece jackets are mainly used and considered as mid-layers. It\u2019s a garment that provides insulation and is worn between a base layer and an outer layer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of a fleece jacket is to provide warmth, weather protection, and ventilation. It allows you to stay warm while being active, without overheating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fleece\njackets are also called soft jackets because they are made of soft, stretchy\nmaterials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waterproof Jacket<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A waterproof jacket is also known as a rain jacket or a hard shell. And right as the name states a waterproof jacket functions by keeping the water away from reaching your body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waterproof jackets are a must in your Kilimanjaro Climb Packing List<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the Kilimanjaro Trails<\/strong>, the weather changes quickly. It can rain, hail, or snow at any time without any previous warning. So, only a water-resistant jacket is not enough. A 100% waterproof jacket is essential. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting\nwet on the Kilimanjaro Trails<\/strong> can\ncause big problems. It makes the Kilimanjaro\nHike<\/strong> very uncomfortable. But it can also be very dangerous due to the risk\nof hypothermia. That\u2019s why you should carry your waterproof jacket at all times\nin your day pack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure your waterproof jacket is breathable.  This is a key feature\nin modern waterproof jackets. Because without it, it would trap so much heat\nthat it would cause you to sweat. And make you feel wet and uncomfortable,\nregardless. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A\nrain jacket also serves as a windbreaker. So you could use it on the  Kilimanjaro\nTrails<\/strong> if you encounter strong breezes and cooler weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insulated Jacket <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Down jackets, synthetic down jackets, and puffy\/puffer jackets are all\ndifferent types of insulated jackets. Insulated jackets are designed to hold your\nbody heat in by trapping air against your body. They are an essential part of\nyour Kilimanjaro Packing List<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insulated jackets are made out of a substance that has a high warmth-to-weight ratio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a Kilimanjaro Hike<\/strong>, there\u2019s no need to wear an insulating jacket during the day as it is not cold enough. However, you might want to wear it at night, when the evenings are chilly. You can wear them either when you\u2019re just hanging around camp or even possibly while you sleep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But you will definitely need your insulating jacket on the summit night,\neither while hiking or just during rest breaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These jackets are the absolute basics that you require to make your Kilimanjaro hike<\/strong> a little bit easier. They\u2019ll\nprotect you against the different weathers and are easy to add on and shed off\nwhen the temperature fluctuates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The better equipped you are, the higher the chance of success. Book a Kilimanjaro hike<\/strong> up to the top now with Jerry Tanzania Tours<\/a><\/strong>. Happy Hiking! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
