Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: A reply on a question regarding clothes

As for clothing, all depends on the weather of course. Some have lots of snow
and strong winds, where I had perfect clear weater on the summitnight. I went in
the same period as you, it should be ok since the rains are over. But you need
to be prepared for the worst and can decide later if you wear it or not. Porters
carry your stuff so better bring too much. Quite good stuff can be rented also
in Moshi for the trek only.

Miscellaneous: During the summit night I was wearing -if I remember well- thermo-underpant
(recommended) and common trekkingpants, 2 pairs of woolen socks and layers of
thermo shirt / shirt / fleece + thick windproof jacket (that I rented in Moshi).
Also a hat (covering ears) and scarf. Also bring or rent snow googles, just in
case. For gloves, I had common type; it was "only" minus 10 degrees and no wind,
so just fine.

On the other days - yes if the sun was out t-shirt was fine even to Barafu Hut
(4500m), but with the clouds wind proof fleece was needed. Also bring or rent
decent raingear especially for first day rainforrest.

I think that's it, hope you will get some ideas.
