My suggestions for clothing choices are to take as little as you can be comfortable with.

1) Think layers & multipurpose/use.
2) think lightweight
3) Think fastdrying.

Keep those in mind as you select/purchase your clothing, and you'll be fine. For raingear, get the best you can afford, gore-tex is best. For portage boots, get the best you can afford. They need to provide support, great traction, and be fastdrying.
