Columbus Day Weekend

Thursday, October 6, 2011


If you are lucky enough to be going way for the upcoming Columbus Day weekend, I offer a few packing tips.


Start with the appropriate size duffle.  We love the color and size options of our Patagonia duffle.  Remember, it is just a weekend, so the small or medium should suffice, unless you are packing for the whole family and then the large is a perfect option.  Garth much prefers one big bag to several small ones.  Simply a matter of preference.

As for contents, naturally it depends on where you are headed, but the temperatures do seem to be dropping.  We think in terms of base layer, mid layer, outerwear, shirts, pants and accessories.  So my picks would be:
base layer -- Ibex Zepher
mid layer - Rab Fleece
outer layer - Patagonia Ultralight Down Jacket
shirt - Saltaire or TailorByrd
pants - Mountain Khakis - any style: original, cords or flannel lined
accessories - Ibex gloves and Patagonia beanie

Keep it simple and have fun!
