Make Your Backpacking Clothes?

Find an old polypropylene thermal underwear top or bottom. Cut off a leg or sleeve, pull it over your head, mark where your eyes and mouth are with a pen. Cut the holes. You just made a balaclava.

Mine weighs an ounce. Sew the top shut or just shut it with a safety pin. Making clothes doesn't get much simpler than this.

Socks with five holes are good finger-less hand warmers.

Any other easy backpacking clothes ideas?

heat some water, put it in an empty 2l water bottle, put a cloth around it and voila a hot water bottle.

 

the sleeve off a sweater makes a beanie, a buddy of mine had a blue fleece sweater sleeve he used flopped forward it looked like a smurf hat, i thought it was wicked looking but didnt do the same for my mom knitted me one which i am emotionaly attached too.
