Packing your page
Shoulder season
The weeks between seasons, when a trip can bring warm afternoons and cold mornings in the same few days. The bag has to be ready for both without doubling up.
How to pack for it
- Pack layers that work alone and together: tee, knit, light jacket.
- Check the forecast a few days out and adjust the outer layer, not the whole bag.
- Choose one pair of shoes that handles both dry and damp days.
- A packable insulating layer covers cold mornings without taking up space.
- Keep colours neutral so every layer works with every outfit.
