So packen Sie richtig für Reisen bei kaltem Wetter

Layering is the only way to stay warm without overpacking. Stick to a base layer of merino wool, a mid-layer of fleece or down, and a waterproof shell to block the wind.

1. Select your base layers. Pack two sets of thermal base layers made from merino wool or synthetic materials. Avoid cotton, as it stays damp and makes you cold if you sweat.
2. Choose your mid-layer. Bring one lightweight down or synthetic insulated jacket. This should be compressible enough to fit into a packing cube and provide the bulk of your warmth.
3. Add an outer shell. Bring one windproof and waterproof jacket. It needs to be large enough to comfortably fit over your mid-layer.
4. Organize with compression cubes. Use compression packing cubes to shrink your bulky sweaters and down jackets. This allows you to fit a week's worth of winter gear into a standard 40L carry-on bag.

Should I wear my heaviest coat on the plane?

Yes. Wearing your heaviest boots and coat saves significant space and weight in your luggage.

How many pairs of socks do I need for a week?

Four pairs are enough if you bring merino wool, as they are naturally odor-resistant and can be worn multiple times before washing.
