Bearbottom says rewear performance fabrics and rinse tees in the sink. Eagle Creek says wash in the hotel sink or tub and pack one outfit per day, minus one. EGO says a top that doesn't work with at least three different bottoms stays on the hanger. Tee counts vary: Bearbottom's checklist says 3-4, its longer list says 6-7. Bearbottom also says a hybrid short can double as swimwear. Wear the bulkiest items on the flight. This list assumes one carry-on and warm-weather clothing. It leaves out toiletries, documents and cold-weather gear.
Why these items are on the list
- Weather forecast checked. Eagle Creek says check ahead to see what can stay home, like a parka or mittens.
- Lay everything out first. Use the bed. Make cuts before anything goes in the bag.
- Carry-on bag or backpack. Eagle Creek prefers a travel backpack as the personal item. It saves your back.
- Packing cubes (Bearbottom). Bearbottom: one for tops, one for bottoms, a small one for socks and underwear.
- Short-sleeve tees, 3-4 (Bearbottom checklist). Bearbottom's longer list says 6-7. It says natural-fiber or performance tees rinsed in a sink dry by morning.
- Performance tee, one (Bearbottom). Covers hikes and workouts. You don't need a separate gym outfit.
- Polo or button-up. One step up from a tee for dinner. Layers over a tee or stands alone.
- Shorts, 2-3 pairs (Bearbottom). Bearbottom says wear each pair two or three times before switching.
- Hybrid shorts, one (Bearbottom). Bearbottom says its Hybrid Short can hike, swim and go to lunch. It says no separate trunks needed.
- Long pants, 1-2 (Bearbottom checklist). Bearbottom's longer list says 2-3 pairs. It rates its performance pants at 3-4 wears each.
- Hoodie or sweatshirt. Wear it on the plane. Bulky items on your body take no bag space.
- Joggers for plane and lounging. Same logic as the hoodie. Wear your bulkiest pieces on the flight.
- Underwear, one pair per day (Bearbottom). Bearbottom says if you can hand wash, you can cut this in half.
- Socks, one pair per day (Bearbottom). Bearbottom says laundry lets you cut back. Stuff spares inside your shoes to save space.
- Comfortable travel shoes. Pick a pair that works casually and semi-formally. Wear the bulkiest ones on the flight.
- Evening change of clothes. Canvas Styling calls an evening change a lifesaver in warm climates. Their packed espadrilles dressed up a day look.
- Light knit for evenings. Nights can cool off even when daytime is hot.
- Swimwear for pool or beach days. Skip it if there's no water. Bearbottom says one quick-drying swim-ready piece is enough.
- Compression bag for laundry. Use it as a hamper, then compress the load for the return trip.
Work through it with the bag open and your phone in hand. Each tick is one less thing to second-guess at the airport.
When to use it
Use it once you know the forecast and the plans, before you start packing.
