Collection: Travel Clothing and Gear

What to Pack and What to Wear

Packing well is mostly about choosing clothes that do several jobs. A pair of pants that works on a plane, a trail, and at dinner saves more space than any packing system. The sections below cover the apparel that travels best and the bags that organize it.

Travel pants and bottoms

Travel pants are the piece that decides how light you can pack. Stretch-woven fabrics resist wrinkles and dry overnight, which means one pair covers days rather than one. A stretch-woven travel pant with a weather-resistant finish is equally at home on a trail and in a city. Five-pocket pants and ankle-length pants in lightweight, quick-drying fabric read as everyday clothing while performing like technical ones, which matters when the same pair has to work for a hike and a restaurant.

Shirts and sun protection

Sun shirts are the most useful travel layer most people do not own. They cover arms and neck without sunscreen, dry quickly after washing in a sink, and resist odor over consecutive wears. A lightweight sun hoodie is the everyday option, while airier sun hoodies and short-sleeve sun shirts built for active use handle hotter conditions. A sun T-shirt in cooling fabric works as a base layer or on its own.

Packable layers for changing weather

The weather at a destination rarely matches the forecast when you packed. A packable rain shell answers that without taking up room: 3-layer waterproof rain jackets come in men’s and women’s fits, and both compress into a daypack. For cool evenings rather than rain, a soft shell hoodie and the fleece pieces in this collection handle wind and chill without bulk.

Travel bags

Clothing is only half of packing well. A 40-litre duffel handles a weekend or a carry-on, and a 20-litre day pack carries the essentials once you arrive. Packing organizers and toiletry bags keep the inside of a bag sorted, which is the difference between repacking every morning and not. Shop the full range of duffels, bags, and packs.

FAQs

What clothing packs the smallest for travel?

Stretch-woven pants, sun shirts, and a packable rain shell. All three compress well and none of them wrinkle badly, which removes the need to pack alternatives. The single biggest space saving comes from choosing pieces that work in more than one setting, so one pair of pants covers a flight, a hike, and dinner rather than three separate outfits.

What should you wear on a long flight?

Something that stays comfortable seated for hours and works on arrival. Stretch-woven travel pants and a sun hoodie or lightweight fleece cover both, and a packable layer handles the temperature swing between a cold cabin and a warm destination. Avoid anything that needs ironing on arrival, since the point of technical travel fabrics is that they recover on their own.

Are sun shirts good for travel?

They are one of the most useful travel layers. A sun shirt covers arms and neck without reapplying sunscreen, dries fast enough to wash in a sink overnight, and resists odor over several wears, which means fewer shirts in the bag. That combination matters more on a trip than in everyday use, where laundry is never far away.

What size duffel works as a carry-on?

A 40-litre duffel fits most airline carry-on allowances and holds enough for several days if the clothing is chosen well. Larger sizes are better suited to checked travel or car trips. Pairing a duffel with a smaller daypack covers both the journey and the days once you arrive, which is the most flexible combination for mixed trips.
