Men's Jungle Man Fancy Dress Costume

Product Information

Craghoppers Nosilife Erin Long Sleeved Top– this long-sleeved top is easily one of my favourite things to wear in the jungle. As well as the odour and moisture control, the Nosilife technology keeps biting insects away. Nosilife Ultimate Hat– with a full face mesh to keep the insects away, and a wide brim to protect your face from the sun, this isn’t called the ultimate hat for nothing! Craghoppers Clara II Trousers– I love my Clara trousers! The ever so slight bootcut style is much more flattering than traditional walking trousers, and these have the added benefit of being really cool and insect-repellant. Sun hats are essential clothes for the rainforest. One with a wide brim will protect your eyes and head from the sun, while a waterproof baseball cap will do this and more. If your raincoat doesn’t have a hood, or you simply don’t want to wear it up all the time, a cap will keep the water out of your face during rainstorms.

Allbirds Mizzles– Mizzles were made for wet weather, making them ideal for wearing in a downpour in the rainforest. Though your feet may get a little sweaty thanks to the wool insides, it’s a small price to pay for comfort! Read my full review of Mizzles here! Craghoppers Nilo Hooded Top– this handy hooded top is the perfect way to cover up in the evening. The insect-repellant technology protects against biting insects too.

It’s just universally flattering regardless of your shape and size. 7. Jungle Warfare Outfit for Couples Even with long sleeves and trousers, it’s best to wear insect repellent on exposed skin. Those critters will always find somewhere to bite if you don’t! There are plenty of water bottles available, but try one with a specially designed filter to make sure you have access to clean water no matter where you are. This means you can fill up from the tap or any source of freshwater (not salty!) and drink it safely. Very thin button-down shirts worn over a tank top will also keep you cool, but do bear in mind that some insects can bite through thin fabric so many not protect you as much as you need.

With the humidity and heat in tropical rainforests, it’s critical to stay hydrated while you’re out and about. Avoid buying bottled water to reduce your plastic consumption, as most eco-friendly lodges should provide free filtered water on tap for you to fill up your reusable bottle with.

Accessories

That being said, neutral colors do a great job of hiding dirt and dust, which will be plenty of on a drive or walk through the bush. White clothes aren’t going to stay white very long, and dark colors are believed to attract tsetse flies. Trust us; you do not want to become familiar with tsetse flies! Please note: Shirt and shoes are not included. These products cannot be returned once they have been altered by a third party company. Salado Mid Boot– these hiking boots are both waterproof and comfortable, with an aqua dry membrane and moulded footbed. The Nosilife technology keeps insects away too.

Craghoppers Carmen Joggers– not strictly pyjamas bottoms, but these joggers from Craghoppers kept me comfy and protected in bed, even in the most tropical conditions of Costa Rica. North Face Surgent Pants– these cuffed pants are comfortable enough to wear in bed in the higher altitude areas of the cloud forest. Make sure you buy a pair well in advance of your trip, giving you time to wear them in. After all, the last thing you want is a set of painful blisters the first time you wear them in the jungle! It’s still a good idea to take blister plasters with you to keep you comfortable. Not skilled with paints and makeup? No problem! There’s a face paint stencil that will make your animal face paint look like a pro with no professional skills required. FINAL THOUGHTS:

Socks

The day-to-day wear of clothes is the most important part because if you feel uncomfortable in the bush, you’ll likely look ridiculous. You aren’t walking the runways of Paris but spending time in the bush—care about your look, but not too much.

It’s your time to flex those makeup skills or just express your animalistic fashion with face and body paints. It may sound crazy to include warm items like sweaters in a list of jungle trekking clothes, but it can actually get cold in the jungle, especially at high altitudes. The cloud forests in Costa Rica are a great example of this, as I could happily wear four layers to maintain a comfortable temperature.When you aren’t trekking through a jungle or hiking through the rainforest, it’s good to have a pair of comfortable shoes to give your feet a rest from stiff hiking boots. When you’re travelling, going for dinner at your hotel or visiting tourist attractions outside of the jungle, they will come in incredibly handy.
