The Ultimate Men's Travel Checklist: 10 Items To Pack

Do you feel lost when it comes to packing for your next adventure? Do you feel like you have to sacrifice the quality of items to fit everything you need in your suitcase? Well, you’re not alone. Packing for a trip can seem like a daunting task, and especially when you’re traveling. The good news is that you don’t have to sacrifice comfort in order to travel light. This checklist will help you put together everything you’ll need for a trip. From clothing to toiletries, this ultimate men’s travel checklist will have you packing in no time.

Comfy Clothing

 

Clothing is one of the most important aspects of packing for your next adventure. You want clothes that are comfortable, yet durable. When shopping for these items, make sure the fabric is not too synthetic. Synthetic fabrics like polyester don’t breathe well, and you may end up with a rash or itching from them. A good rule of thumb is to buy clothing made of natural materials such as cotton or wool.

Towel

Whether you’re going on a short or long trip, it’s always good to bring a towel. This can be for drying off after a shower or for washing up in the morning. Pack one that isn't too big and folds up nicely into your bag.

T-Shirt

 

Pack a t-shirt for each day of your trip. T-shirts are lightweight and versatile, so they’ll serve as the perfect staple for your wardrobe. Pack one for every day you plan to be traveling, along with any other type of clothing that you want to take on your journey.

Neck Pillow

First off, you’ll need a neck pillow. This is crucial for travel because it helps you to sleep on long flights. The neck pillow will help keep your head stabilized and aligned with your spine. Plus, it will prevent your head from bobbing while you read or watch movies. You can take this pillow with you on the flight to sleep or use it as a seat cushion when you have to wait on long lines.

Hat/Beanie

This is a staple for cold weather and provides warmth.

Shaving Kit

A shaving kit is a must-have for any man. It includes grooming tools like a shaver, razor blades, shaving cream and aftershave balm.

Toiletries

Toiletries are essential for travel. You’ll want to pack a combination of toiletry items that are used daily as well as items you may only use once or twice on a trip. For example, if you’re going to be out in the sun, you may want to pack sunscreen and a hat. If you’re traveling for business and plan on dressing up, then pack a tie or blazer. 

Pro tip: Remember to allways check your destination's packing list for restrictions on liquids before heading to the airport. -The most important part of packing for your trip is having enough clothes! At least one outfit per day should be packed for at least 3 days of travel time. You never know what will happen, so it’s always best to be prepared. Pack outfits that can mix and match with each other to save space in your suitcase.

Medical Supplies

If you are traveling to a new country that doesn’t have the same medical standards as your country, make sure to pack any meds you might need. Emergency supplies like a bandaid and some antiseptic cream come in handy. Medicine for chronic conditions like high blood pressure or arthritis should be packed in your carry-on bag, so you can take them when the time comes.

Electronics & Books
