I’m looked far and high, close and low. I can’t seem to locate a lightweight merino hoodie or equivalent that’s 3xl. I’m a stocker guy 5’ 11 260 lb. I’m around the 44 waist size. Everything either runs up to 2xl or the 3XL dimensions falls short of a typical 3x for bigger folk.

I’m can easily run warm but want someone to regulate my temperature during my travels to climates where AC isn’t as abundant as in the USA (looking at you, Europe 😂)

Anyone put here have any recommendations for a lightweight merino hoodie (or pullover) for air travel?
I travel in about a week, so I’m almost out of time.

Thank you in advance!

Context: A month trip from already traveling. Cold weather but not too much snow.

Question:

How do you pack your clothes? Do you put your tops together, bottoms together, underwea/socks together. Or do you put things together that match like shorts and singlet or formal things, or inside clothes.

(Of you are comfortable with it mention your gender as I think it may play apart, as a dude I don't really plan outfits)

Have to leave where I am, but going on the road for a bit and can't work out what will be best. Usually I sort by types but then at a hostel have to open 3 packing cubes.

Hi! I’m traveling in Australia, Tasmania, and New Zealand until Jan - surfing, cities/going out, Halloween, tramping, farm work. I also shoot photography and the most difficult part about my setup was my inability to sacrifice my DSLR or my film SLR. Oops :).

I’ve haphazardly one-bagged before with an optimized-for-budget-airline-personal-item backpack (that was kinda cray too bc it was Rome, Malta, and then hut-to-hut hiking in the Asturias), but this is my first time really planning it out. I’m currently on my flight to Australia — so no harsh feedback if possible on reorganizing or I will cry. Just kidding. My plan is to cheat and unpack stuff into the 22L daypack if needed (this bag is quite tight as u can imagine), but I needed to start with it all in one for my ego. I considered a 50L I have at home but this one is way more supportive. I’ll come back and update how it all went in January.

PS enjoy this extra pic of me planking with it on, since my ROTC friend said you have to be able to plank a minute with your bag on to justify the weight.

PPS I do care about style so it was so hard to forgo variety (and I know, I don’t NEED three pairs of shorts), but I think it’ll be a fun challenge

PPPS what I WOULD like advice on is how to use stuff I already have, instead of buying more (I.e. making a rubber clothesline out of rubber bands or something. Feel like specific things are marketed (I bought and returned sealskinz) and I don’t realize I don’t need that hyper-specific item. This way I can reduce the weight of my pack & have more multipurpose items.

Two days in Brussels, here’s what I packed

Clothes
1 T-shirt (a fresh top for day two)
1 pair of pants (a backup in case the first pair gets wet or dirty)
1 set of pajamas (something comfortable for the night)
Underwear in a small pouch (keeps clean clothes separate)
1 rain jacket (for Brussels’ unpredictable weather)

Toiletries
Travel-size skincare (enough for one night)
Insect repellent gel (a small just-in-case item)

Tech
2 magnetic power banks (the PicoGo Air is slim enough to leave attached to my phone, while the Baseus AM52 is for topping up my phone and AirPods)
AirPods (for music and podcasts on the way)

Essentials
ID (for travel and hotel check-in)
2 bank cards (one main card and one backup)
Sleep mask (in case the room isn’t completely dark)
Earplugs (in case the hotel or street is noisy)

Also sharing the little Manneken Pis souvenir I picked up in Brussels.
