If you're planning on taking the trip of a lifetime, one of the most important things to consider is what to pack. It may be tempting to just take a couple of T-shirts and your favorite pair of jeans but jeans are rarely a good idea if you're going to be on the road a lot. They're bulky, heavy and take ages to dry. Instead, you may want to look at the many choices of active lifestyle clothing available.
Clothes that are suitable for indoor sports are often a great item to take on your travels because they tend to be stylish and versatile. With the right top, you can even wear yoga pants to dinner in a restaurant. When you get back to your hotel or hostel, you don't even have to change because those pants make comfortable sleepwear too. A stylish sweater is a great choice for the evening or for rainy days too.
For strenuous outdoor activities, you need a pair of strong, durable pants. Cargo pants are great because you can use the pockets for carrying anything from sunscreen to energy bars. Some stores sell pants with legs that you can simply unzip to turn your long trousers into short pants, making for an extra versatile piece of clothing.
An essential for any trip is swimwear. While tiny bikinis are wonderful for a beach holiday, you may also want to pack something more suitable for water sports. For women, a tankini with boy shorts is great because you can wear the top as normal daywear too while for men, a pair of boardshorts is one of the most versatile pieces of clothing you can have in your luggage.
You'll find that if you pack the right underwear, you only need to take three pairs and you'll have much more space in your bag. Cotton is of course the most comfortable but underwear made of synthetic fabrics dries much more quickly. That means that you can wash your underwear in the evening and have a clean, dry pair by the time you have to hit the road again the next day. For women, a comfortable sports bra that fits properly is essential not only for adventure sports but also for bumpy bus rides.
Your shoes are some of the most important items you can pack because you'll probably spend a lot of time walking. Do some research before your trip to see whether you'd need a pair of hiking boots or whether sneakers would be fine. Then pack the lightest shoes possible. Flip flops are great for the shower, for the beach or for lazing around in and comfortable sandals are perfect for travel days in hot weather.
You don't need more than three pairs of socks if you choose wisely. Instead of wool, which takes a long time to dry, opt for acrylic or another synthetic mix that's light and dries quickly. You'll also find that a bandanna or two will come in very handy. Tie a wet one around your neck or head to cool off in the midday heat or use a bandanna as headscarf when you don't have the time to worry about your hair or when you need some sun protection.
Most clothing stores sell active lifestyle clothing but for the best choices, head to your local sports or outdoors store. Another option is to look online. Buy the most stylish-looking items you can find because then you'll even be able to wear them when you go out.
