DON'T PACK FOR ICELAND BEFORE WATCHING THIS!

[@Halli50]

To a native Icelander like me, this advice seemed a bit over the top to me - until I realized that if I wanted to visit, say, the Mojave Desert in summer, I would be equally clueless about what to pack, how to prepare! In fact, this is very sound advice to people that are clueless about how hellish a "nice Icelandic summer day" can be!

[@esraamer9952]

I’m visiting Reykjavik and nearby places in April ! Do i have to be prepared for a really cold weather? I don’t know what to expect I’m Mediterranean and we basically have summer 10 months a year 😂we have 30 degrees and bikini weather in January and we only get few weeks of “winter”

[@Halli50]

@@esraamer9952, pack for the coldest and rainiest of your Mediterranean winter days. You can always shed clothing if you are weather-lucky, but you cannot put on the warm/waterproof clothing you left behind. This "Pack for Iceland" video is actually spot on for people like you.

[@TrippedTravelGear]

Thank you for the feedback! We realized that it is always more comfortable to prepare as much as possible when visiting a new place.

[@mariliisalasi]

As someone who has lived here for a year I think that's a really solid advice you got in this video! Great content 😊

[@TrippedTravelGear]

What a compliment!

[@MASpiroShadowWoods]

I brought flipflops as my "at home" shoe because I can't stand bare feet on the wooden floor. Leave your hiking shoes at the door and support your arches with some nice croc flips.

[@mariasundy]

I can’t stand walking bare foot either. I don’t go anywhere without flip flops.

[@bethforencich623]

You forgot to mention a bathing suit. It's a really great cultural experience to go to a public swimming pool in Iceland and many towns have pools. We went to Laugardalslaug in Reykjavik and loved the experience. My husband did his lap swimming and I did the hot tubs with locals. Very clean and well organized and multigenerational. It was nice to be off the beaten track from the regular tourist areas.

[@wallace93]

I’ve a Sept Iceland trip coming up, & this has been SO HELPFUL in informing me what’s essential & what’s extra.

[@vgvlogs4182]

Also bright outer clothing is good as a safety feature in case you get lost or injured. You stand out for search parties in red or yellow against the darker background.

[@TrippedTravelGear]

Great safety tip!

[@614LkyDvls]

Ok, I'm not a female, but for half of my week in Iceland back in June, I wore shorts, in the evening with a light fleece jacket. I would have worn shorts more, but only brought one pair. I brought a raincoat, and never took it out of my suitcase. The most waterproof things on your feet - are your feet. I hiked and did a lot of the tourist sites barefoot, beaches, hiking, and crossing streams and small rivers. Honestly, in the summer, it really isn't very cold.

[@GeoGoddessUT]

LAVA! Ouch!

[@jampau2072]

In Iceland and truly enjoying my tripped compression cubes and backpack!!! Thank you for the packing tips. They were spot on.

[@TrippedTravelGear]

So so glad to hear it!!

[@bastian_anibal]

Swedish citizen here: Having rain and wind 70 % around the year here in westcoast island were i live im used to this everytime i travel🤣 My latest trip was to Canada where i packed most outdoor pants, shorts, hikingboots, rain poncho etc and most of the time there was alright except for Toronto that had no winds but extrem rain and high humidity similiar like Seattle has in summer🌧, im planing to take a 10 days trip in Iceland next year so i will be very prepared 😃💜🧊

[@kribor120]

Thanks-After watching many videos on Iceland packing yours is the perfect combination of the best suggestions. Thoughtful and thorough!

[@ghosthuntress175]

You do NOT need wool or down jackets! Down alternatives are much nicer, just as warm, and do not smell (and no animals die).

[@TrippedTravelGear]

Also great options!

[@AuroraNowApp]

Will revisit this when it's time for an Iceland trip! Great content!

We are planning a July trip this year and been amazed at how many places are already booked out and how chilly it will be during the trip. Thank you for the suggestion of the buffs and rain pants. Will also pack an extra hat and set of gloves. Thank you for telling us to skip the flip flops. Would love to know where your cream loose top is from. Seems to be a perfect item for travel and going out at night.

[@lynneeie5226]

So glad this showed up in my feed! It is also a perfect packing list for a trip to Alaska in July and August, except... that Alaska can also be rather warm, so it can go either way. So the jeans and lighter shirts would work well. Alaska is home and we have a trip coming up that is going to combine fencing/dirty work with weather and going places, some nicer than others. So the spectrum is the issue, and I really like your packing list, it is going to help a ton! great video, like the vibe and the humor! (& haha, yes, getting on the plane to Alaska, folks are often kitted out in hiking gear or hoodies and sweats, very low key, so that made me smile a bit!) Have a good one, Lynne

[@TrippedTravelGear]

Oh yeah good points!! So similar!

[@dianedemarco370]

Icelandair has very small dimensions for personal item and carryon bag. Those backpacks are too wide. I paid for a checked bag as well due to that. My hiking boots I doubt I’d want to wear everywhere day and night. I need to bring another pair of shoes other than those small sneakers. I think I have to pack the daypack in my carry on to use there. It’s thicker than 5.6 inches thick/ deep I’m sure. The carry on size is 7.8 deep now.

[@owlzzz1323]

So glad to hear you’ve been wearing your OwlzzZ sleep mask almost every night and found it to be a life saver! We were also shocked by the lack of blackout curtains when we traveled Iceland and agree a sleep eye mask is a must pack item.

[@TrippedTravelGear]

These were a MUST! Great product guys.

​@@TrippedTravelGear Thanks! We hope it helps you sleep through other travel challenges, too… lights on outside your hotel window, planes, trains, campervans, camping, jet lag, etc. We take ours on every trip!

[@TrippedTravelGear]

We love Prana clothing for travel and hiking! Super lightweight and great quality.

[@TheHungarianchick]

We just returned from a first week of June trip. Forget the leggings please. You can get away with water repellent hiking pants such the ones from Eddie Bauer. You can wear them several days in a row as you won’t be able to do laundry. If you go for a 6 days, three pairs should suffice. They pack small as well. Bring 4-5 non cotton, antimicrobial base layers and a two Patagonia or similar zip up thermal tops. Lightweight packable jacket (Columbia has the perfect one) Shoes: low and mid hikers and you’re good to go. Bring enough undies to have one for each day, hats and fleece gloves. Done.

[@aminarehman517]

Hi ! What Columbia jacket would be best ?

[@megannicole8878]

This is great. Thank you so much for the tips!! The only thing I am really unsure about is whether I bring a long down jacket or a short one! I have a black water proof North Face- very foldable and packable (does not take up much space) But I think I should take another warmer jacket. I am always cold! Should I bring a long down jacket? I am going end of Sept/ Early Oct.

Your Travel Backpack was a life-saver during our Disney trip. I was so thankful I threw it in our luggage "just in case". Everyone in my family is getting one for Christmas this year! So handy and great quality.

[@TrippedTravelGear]

That is awesome! We've seen some great gift-giving ideas where the backpack is the "gift bag" filled with on-theme goodies :)

[@zenwilds2911]

It would be nice if you gave us an idea of the temperatures you are talking about. If it's in the 50s, that is tanktop, shorts, and a hoodie weather. If it's 40s, I might wear pants if I'm not doing much walking. I go hiking (in the snow in Washington) in tanktops, and I get hot. I have never experienced temperatures where I could wear wool and walk at the same time. I imagine that is negative digits. I can't step outdoors if it's 70+. Not even in a tanktop and shorts. I was thinking of going to Iceland for the cold so I can be outside and finally get to wear sweaters. What temperature swings can we expect in summer in Iceland? I'm concerned it might be too hot.

[@TrippedTravelGear]

Summers can get into the 60s! The "feels like" temperature definitely depends on wind and cloud coverage.

[@ladyjustice619]

It is a very great video for the people who are going to country like iceland first time. I expected that you will say something about your water bottle / flask. Warm water is required to be carried.

We recommend wearing your hiking boots on your flights and for travel days because they're typically one of our heavier items. Then there's no need to worry about packing them! Hope you're enjoying the cubes!
