What's in the bag? Volume 1

Welcome to What's in the Bag - volume 1! AKA The adventures of the traveling asthmatic!
Today's topic is functional clothing and the featured manufacturer is ExOfficio! It's not just about their Give and Go underwear...
...although I knew right off, it was a MUST! I never thought I'd be talking about travel underwear on my blog, but this is important. Since we'll be in almost constant motion for three weeks through 4 countries, stopping at a laundramat seems unlikely. With Give and Go, I know I can wash them out at night and they'll be dry in the morning! I already own a few pairs, but took this opportunity to add to my collection!
I know it looks like a jumble, but these articles of clothing were carefully chosen for their breathability (still sweating from the prednisone) as well as being wrinkle resistant, thin, light weight and easy to pack. My Amphi pants will shed stains and wrinkles, have a multilude of pockets and will easily roll up to size of a lemon in my luggage! I am bringing one funnel neck thermal for the Scottish Highlands, my "Excential Zippy" shirt for layering on the coast of Ireland, and one of my favorites...
My Aza burnout shirt with dry release® and this super nifty zippered pocket built into the sleeve which is perfect for.... ta duh! An inhaler! This shirt also has a sweetheart neckline, looks great with a jaunty scarf at dinner and can be washed at night since it dries 4x faster than cotton. Hello practicality!
So here's my salute to ExOfficio! Well done!
AG out!

I've never heard of ExOfficio. I'll have to try to find it.
That is one hi-tech case!
I used to be the packing guru for our Palm Springs trips-but I guess that is one place where you can really guarantee the weather!
I hope it all works out superbly for you. Can't wait for you to be in my country! xx
I've heard ExOfficio is some amazing stuff!! This trip is really getting close!
I think I need some of those undies ..
Love the hi-tech gear! I have the same underpants they are great for hiking!
