Marina Egorov – The Bag and Pack Shop, Vail, Colorado
For those excitedly planning their mud season activities, we salute you! What a great time to take a trip. We sure are spoiled, to have only a few weeks in each year where we would consider leaving this beautiful valley in the Colorado mountains. Sandwiched between a sunny spring ski season and a gorgeous green summer, May is perfect to recruit some friends, grab the dog or even take a solo adventure. Whether you are planning a mammoth overseas trip or a short weekend getaway; there is some travel gear we could never do without...
The ideal long bottom layer, whether you are hiking in the Amazon or city-slicking in San Francisco; these pants from Arcteryx are lightweight and oh so comfortable. Get them in a shorts option too, but we just love the long ones to throw on in the evening, once the sun goes down. Available in mens and ladies.
We just cannot mention enough how much we love Icebreaker clothing, it is unbeatable both for travel and sport. Lightweight and breathable, it wicks moisture away and remains odour free for days on end - perfect for a vacation away from home where packing room is limited. This long sleeve piece of 150-weight is great to throw in your bag year round. And it comes in funky colours too.

Patagonia Black Hole Duffel
The 3 varying sizes allow you to choose the perfect one for your trip. We love these bags from Patagonia for their bright eye-catching tones (though black is available too!) and easy packability. A traditional duffel but with tough backpack straps so you can carry it if needed; plus tons of strap attachments on the exterior for hardcore adventurers with equipment to handle. This tough and durable bag will see you through many a day - made of waterproof fabric, but not seam taped; it will keep your stuff dry in most conditions.

Ever feel reluctant to sign onto a trip, because you "you just don't feel like packing"? We sure hope not! But, these ingenious inventions from Eagle Creek will make that possibility zero. Varying in size and type, these bags will let you compartmentalize your bag, pack hang-only items and live out of your bag with some semblance of organization.
Travel is always full of unpredicable weather situations. A thin jacket to cut the wind and keep off the chill should be in every traveler's repertoire. This one from Millet is highly breathable yet water resistant and is a great one to throw in your bag.

We wish you well on whatever adventures you have planned this off season and hope you stop by to share your exciting travel plans.
