What travel rain gear do I pack?
Kelsey’s back with another great question for us on Ask HPL. Do I pack an umbrella or a waterproof rain jacket when I travel to places known for rain? And how do I do that while packing light?
We discuss these travel rain gear dilemmas in this episode, and even touch on what I tend to pack for rain protection when I travel.
In This Episode, We Discuss:
- My experience with those mini travel umbrellas
- Why I don’t recommend packing an umbrella
- The pros and cons of a rain jacket (plus which type works best for minimalism)
- Other considerations when choosing your travel rain gear
- What I tend to pack when I travel
Products and Resources Mentioned in This Post:
- Pocket Umbrella* – This is very similar to the one that I had, but not the same one. I liked that it laid flat when packed up instead of round.
- Womens Rain Jacket Shell – Example 1* at just 5.5oz, Example 2* at just 11.4oz
- The HPLWorld Community – Join up and ask about specific travel gear and get feedback from other members.
