Traveling is one of life’s great pleasures. It involves so many amazing things that it is almost impossible to tell why it makes us feel so good. Is it the variety of delicious food? Is it the breath-taking landscapes in front of us? Is it meeting new people and diving into new cultures?

It might take two days to get to the other side of the world or maybe the destination is just a one hour ride from home. But one thing is sure: traveling always brings out the best in us. We push ourselves to try new things, which could either be tasting exotic food or trying to speak in another language.

We are continuously learning from the people and places surrounding us, but we also learn from ourselves. We learn to be more flexible, to overcome what life throws at us, to be more patient and more open minded too. We connect on a deeper level with our mind and soul, and with each trip we get to know ourselves much better.

Maybe the question really is: who doesn’t like traveling? From mountains to oceans, from beaches to forests, there are so many places to visit around the world and so many ways to do so. And the truth is, we don't want anything to set us back, little less the wrong clothing or footwear.

Travel Wear for Women: How to Choose the Right Gear?

Travel Wear for Women

When we are planning a trip, we have to take into account several things, such as the destination, the accommodation, the transportation, the field trips, among other things. However, we often forget about one of the most important parts of the journey: wearing the right gear.

It is not news that we all wait until the last minute to pack our bags and we end up with a combination of clothes that we haven’t thought through that well. Nonetheless, wearing the proper gear is actually more important than one may think.

On one hand, when traveling 一whether it is by car, by plane, by train or even on foot一 we usually have limited storage and we often have to carry the luggage ourselves during the whole trip. That means you need to prioritize weight and space, especially if you are a backpacker. Therefore, we have to make the most out of our clothing. In other words, we need to opt for functional, versatile garments that will be practical for the adventures that await us, while still being stylish and comfortable. Few clothes, multiple outfits.

On the other hand, wearing the proper gear when traveling is crucial to have a safe and comfortable journey too. This will depend on a variety of factors, like the weather and the type of tourism you would like to practice, but it sums up to this.

Let’s say you are going hiking and camping in the mountains. It is imperative that you pack the right gear that will protect you during these adventures and that will put up with all the physical efforts you will face. Otherwise, you might slip when hiking, or even get sick when the temperature drops at night and your clothes aren’t fully dry yet.

But how do you choose the right travel gear? Well, these are the things you need to take into account. First, think of the destination : is it warm or cold? Is it up in the mountains or by the beach?

The second consideration would be to think of the weather. Now, it can be quite unpredictable, of course, but you can still check your phone app to have an idea of how the sky will look like. Is it going to rain the entire time you are there or the sun will shine bright? Are you expecting freezing or scorching weather?

And last but not least, you need to think about your trip’s goal. Are you going to rest or will you be in constant physical activity? Will you spend all day exploring the outdoors or will you opt for a more relaxed adventure?

Some of these questions might seem obvious or needless, but the truth is they will help you determine which is the best gear to pack for your upcoming journey and prevent any undesirable situations. Wearing the wrong clothes when traveling can be not only uncomfortable, but also dangerous.

For instance, you need a specific type of sneakers for trekking and climbing a mountain, as well as you need the right clothing for going camping at the lake. Even if yours is a city trip, you still need the right footwear to walk all day long, right?

As we said earlier, space and weight are key here and, on that end, you should look for items that are very light 一lighter than air if possible一, that are easy to fold and don’t take up much space. It is important to clarify this because travel wear can sometimes weigh very little, but the garments are still bulky to pack.

For example, our lightweight Women’s Helios pants are comfortable enough to be worn on a daily basis as they are both breathable and stretchable. Thanks to the moisture-wicking properties, fast absorption and adjustable features, the Helios pants are an excellent alternative to pack for any kind of adventure.

They are designed using Sunsail™ and Airmesh™ fabrics, respectively made of recycled nylon and recycled polyester sourced from discarded fishing nets. As you can see, the right choice of fabric is essential for traveling.

Natural and technical materials are always a safe bet when it comes to traveling because they assure safety and comfort. For instance, the Women’s Trailblazer Tank Top is made of miDori™ bioSoft, which is the first-ever performance finish made from 100% plant seed oil that reduces carbon emissions up to 80%.

This is actually one of our most technically advanced tank tops. The Trailblazer is great for hiking, climbing and even riding because of its cooling and drying properties. Whatever you have in mind for your next holiday, our tee will be there for you.

Our Traveler collection features our signature blended Merino wool and cooling Eucalyptus fabric with different variations of our iconic, versatile tee. The Women’s Traveler Merino Tee is in fact a must-have, whether it is for short or long journeys.

This silky-soft tee will be your favorite travel companion, offering you wash-free freshness for up to seven days and wrinkle resistance. It is so light, ultra packable and it can adapt to a variety of temperatures that you won’t want to take it off.

If you are thinking about wilderness and performance, then our Trailblazer collection is a great alternative too. It is perfect for demanding outdoor activities, like running, cycling, hiking or climbing. You can combine these traveling clothing alternatives with some everyday basics from our Daymaker collection as well. For example, our Women’s Daymaker Tee is perfect for both city and field trips.

It features our signature Stay Fresh anti-odor technology from Polygiene® and under arm gussets for enhanced mobility. It is made from a blend of Tencel® and recycled polyester, providing extra freshness and sun protection as well.

In addition, each Seadon tee diverts between 3 and 4 plastic water bottles from finishing up in our oceans or the landfills. Choosing this recycled polyester instead of the virgin one, helps us save up to 50% water, 25% energy and reduce our carbon emissions by 30%.

Our organic travel clothing for women is made of natural and recycled fabrics, such as Tencel, Merino wool, recycled nylon and recycled polyester. As a carbon neutral brand, we try to minimize our environmental footprint as much as possible, while we also enjoy giving back to Earth.

We opt for 100% organic Tencel™ fibres, sustainably sourced from FSC-certified forests. It is biodegradable, cooler than linen and it is made of renewable wood sources. Our Tencel garments have antimicrobial properties and they absorb up to 50% more sweat than cotton, which makes them a great alternative for people with sensitive skin or allergies.

On a similar end, we also work with the world’s most ethical wool suppliers located in New Zealand. They guarantee us animal welfare, environmental sustainability, the highest quality, social responsibility and traceability to source. Our natural and certified ZQ Merino wool is made using regenerative farming techniques.

This is a softer and finer wool with natural water-repelling properties. It is chemical and wrinkle free, which makes it great for both shorts and long trips. You just need to hang it for 30 minutes and you are ready to continue with your journey. For more travel wear, take a look at our women’s sustainable clothing .
