Layering LARP Costumes for Summer Temperature Extremes

Medieval LARP Costumes

Take on the role of any character!

In selecting LARP Costumes, you should think about the locations that you will be visiting for your events. In many cases, outdoor camping areas can experience huge temperature fluctuations from day to night, making it important to consider all extremes in preparing your costume for travel. Some elements of your outfit can be lightweight, perfect for warm days. Whether you are in the woods of the New England or the extremes of the South West, summer daytime temperatures can be uncomfortably warm. In the wrong apparel, these temperatures can be deadly. It’s important to wear lightweight material that is light in color so that you don’t overheat.

High desert nights can be quite chilly, especially after a hot day. Most people visiting these areas are taken by surprise at night temperatures, and many find themselves unprepared for cool summer evenings. When you travel for your event, make sure that your LARP costumes and accessories include warm layers that can be added in the evenings. When the sun drops and things cool off, you may need to add layers a little bit at a time. Being prepared, though, will assure you of being comfortable while not missing out on any of the fun.
