CLOTHES

 Roman Fashionistas! (c) 2007 Ted Grellner

Travel & outdoor clothing (e.g. hiking) is light and less bulky for packing,
easy to wash and dry, comfortable and functional.

Here are great online clothing stores for travel and outdoor clothing, men's and women's apparel and accessories.

 

  • What to pack based on the weather forecast of your destination? Use "Flight Forecast" of weather.com for a "custom weather forecast for all legs of your trip, including what to pack and destination information 

 

  • Other hints regarding clothes: 
    • "Cross-Packing" -  If you are traveling with a companion, exchange one set of clothing with each other in case one of your bags gets lost. Easy "insurance" for that rare mishap. 
    • Dirty Clothes - If you don't plan to carry a laundry bag nor pack your clean clothes in folders, tie your dirty clothes into a knot to easily distinguish them from clean. 
    • Merino Wool - Don't miss reading about this miracle fiber in Travel Clothing. It will reduce the number of dirty clothes you have to deal with, thus reducing bulk and weight that you have to "lug" around.
    • Bringing Back New Clothes - If you wish to bring back new clothes from the country you are visiting, consider wearing/packing clothes you wish to dispose of to make room for the new. 
    • See Packing Aids on the Luggage page for Eagle Creek packing folders and cubes. These handy, lightweight wonders will organize your clothes, saving you time and space.
