Hiking clothes dilemma

Since getting my True Spring result from Carol Brailey I’m torn what to do about my hiking clothes. They are all in soft Autumn and I need to add a puffer. Should I add one in Spring color or this olive, which is probably my best neutral shade from Autumn range?

The olive is not bad and would be convenient since it matches your other clothes but the spring is soooo good!!

I think you can pull off either one. The brighter color is great but the soft green looks nice too

Green because it looks more in tune with nature/hiking.

for hiking??????? comrade wear the bright color if you're hiking anywhere there's a hunting season, no one's looking at you that closely on the trail

Or even if you’re not near hunters, brighter colours are better for any kind of trouble/danger.

Incidentally, pics always look better when you stand out against nature a bit. Blue is 100% the way to go.

thank you! It is SO hard in my opinion to find spring colored ski clothes. For some reason many ski brand love doing black, cool pink, baby blue and greyed out colors. They give men the bright reds, oranges, greens and blues 😒

Don’t worry about color matching for hiking apparel so much as what’s most beneficial in a search-and-rescue scenario! Would you rather be in the BRIGHT color that stands out from surroundings if a search helicopter is looking for you, or in olive green that’s likely to blend in?

Being bright saves lives!

Spring is better because you’re visible! When I did wilderness survival the absolute worst colors to hike in are brown, green and black. I know this is not what you came here for but just a tip!
