Struggling to think what the necessary items are to pack for your great adventure? Want to make sure you’ve covered all eventualities and are prepared for anything and everything that Patagonia has in store for you?<\/p>\n

Use our checklist below to help make sure you’ve got everything covered.<\/p>\n

1. Luggage<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do NOT bring a hard, rigid case. Soft, good quality duffel bags or backpacks with strong zips are much more advisable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Clothes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Look for clothing made with Capilene<\/a><\/strong>, Duofold CoolMax and Ultra Tec, or Tekware, all found in large outdoor recreation stores. <\/span><\/p>\n

Cotswolds Outdoors<\/a>, Blacks<\/a>, Go Outdoors<\/a>, Ellis Brigham<\/a>, Decathlon<\/a>, <\/strong>and The North Fac<\/a>e <\/strong>are just some examples.<\/p>\n

This type of material ‘wicks’ moisture (sweat) off your skin and into and out of the fabric, allowing the body to stay dry and warm. Advisable to bring 2 or 3 changes. (Wool garments are not advised: they make you sweat too much and are close to impossible to dry quickly).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
