Ultimate Iceland Packing

Iceland packing essentials (Men's Version)

Base Layers - Merino Wool

• Merino wool provides insulation (traps warmth in), but is also breathable for when you are hiking.

• Men's Merino Wool Half-Zip (REI $45, on sale 9/22)

• Men's Merino Wool T-shirt Top (REI $40, on sale 9/22)

Softshell Anorak Jacket - for light days

• The anorak jacket is a softshell, so water REPELLENT not waterPROOF. Great at blocking wind, and provides light protection. Can wear this as the final layer on light days or as a mid layer on windier, colder days

• Men's Anorak Jacket (REI $50, on sale 9/22)

WaterPROOF outside jacket

Rainproof pants

• One of the most important things, along with your waterproof jacket. Ensure they go OVER the opening of your hiking boots, otherwise your feet WILL get wet. Gore-Tex is the most optimal, if in your budget... but oftentimes, this makes it less breathable
