However, according to a travel expert and outdoor adventurer MEESHKA brand, there is a clever jacket hack that helps you bring more items without overpacking your bags.
Speaking only to Express, Sand & ELEVATION founder and veteran climbers MeeShka shared her secrets.
She explained: “These can hold small and heavy items such as power banks, chargers, or snacks, and avoid weight restrictions on backpacks while easily accessing them.”
In particular, additional storage can make a big difference for travelers who need to pack smartly on both airport travel and outdoor adventure.
Ma Chka, who climbed Washington volcanoes like Mt. Rainier and Mount Baker, emphasized the importance of making the most of all inch packaging spaces.
She said: “Put socks and small items in your shoes -this helps to avoid wasted space and keep the shape of your shoes.”
Travel experts also recommend bringing a foldable daypack in the main bag for a day trip, and can keep a large bag.
