How to Pack for a Tropical Vacation
Packing for the tropics is less about quantity and more about the right lightweight gear that handles heat, humidity and sudden rain.
Overpacking heavy clothes is the classic mistake, when what you really need is a few versatile, quick-drying pieces.
- Lightweight, quick-dry clothing is your friend
- Pack layers for air-conditioned rooms
- A light rain shell beats an umbrella in storms
- Sandals plus one pair of sturdy shoes
Keep it light and quick-drying, and your bag stays easy to carry and ready for any weather the tropics throw at you.
