Travel Essentials:
Packing for Cold Weather
This is a coat that I have from Fjallraven (I know it’s pricey, trust me I only could afford it because I bought it off the clearance rack at REI Coop). Investing in a GOOD winter coat is most important when packing for a cold winter climate! This coat here is one of my favorites because it’s not too puffy that I can layer underneath and it folds up nicely in my carry on bag!
I have bought 2 of these beanies from Amazon, they’re perfect! I love the color options. Owen & I share these beanies on trips, they fit nicely on both of our heads!
These NorthFace gloves are so nice for travel. They are very lightweight and have a small buckle on them to keep the pair attached when you’re not wearing them. These gloves also allow you to use your phone while wearing them! They are a little on the more expensive side but worth the investment or asking for them as a gift (like I did).
Hand Warmers change the game. They’re small enough that they don’t take up any room in your luggage and they are so nice to have on hand (no pun intended). These small packs heat up when activated in your hands and will stay warm for up to 10 hours!
Of course a scarf is just as essential as gloves! I love a checkered pattern scarf because I tend to wear clothing with no patterns on it. You can’t go wrong with a tartan plaid scarf!
Take it from someone who lived in Colorado, lotion is a necessity! Get a travel sized bottle of lotion for your hands when visiting colder climates, you won’t regret it.
