The Best Way to Pack Clothes for Traveling

Have you ever struggled to pack all your clothes into a suitcase before traveling? Athletes can’t afford to forget anything. Missing shorts or supplements on race day can throw a wrench in an already stressful trip.

Looking to travel stress-free for your next race? Keep reading for the best way to pack clothes for traveling, and the backpack that keeps your gear organized and head in the game.

Best Way to Pack Clothes for Traveling

Statistics show that over 40% of people feel stressed while traveling. And when you add the pressure from a race or sporting event, athletes feel it even more.

The worst thing you can do to add to this stress is to have disorganized luggage or backpack.

Here are five tips for the best way to pack clothes for traveling:

Separate clean laundry from dirty laundry

Didn’t have time to wash your favourite shorts? You’ll have some time when you land, but that doesn’t mean you should mix it with clean clothes. Always keep dirty laundry separate from clean clothes.

DVRGE’s backpacks feature adjustable, rigid panels that let athletes easily separate dirty clothes from clean ones. Plus, the fabric is odor-proof, meaning your last race’s stink won’t leak into the rest of your clothes.

Protect your clothing from dirty shoes safely

Runners tend to tie their running shoes to a latch or zipper outside their luggage or backpack. Makes sense if you’re low on space. But that’s a sure way to either lose them or damage them in the overhead carry-on spaces.

Our DVRGE backpacks come with rigid panels that make it easy to separate shoes. Plus, our 36L capacity makes it roomy enough to fit even your bulkiest Nike running shoes.

Roll up your clothes

The army roll, also known as the ranger roll, is a military method for efficient packing. Lay your clothes flat on your bed, then fold in the sleeves and hems inwards by two inches. Then tightly roll each item into tight, snug, compact clothing rolls.

DVRGE’s customizable compartments help you keep clothes organized, and the clam-shell zipper lets you see it all without having to dig through clothing, disheveling all your hard work.

Keep socks and underwear in their own compartment

Imagine missing a sock the morning before your race day! Not fun! That’s why we recommend keeping smaller clothing items like socks and underwear in a separate compartment. DVRGE’s backpacks come with plenty of compartments that keep clothes separate BUT don’t let your smaller items get lost between pockets.

Don’t overpack

Attending a weekend race? Chances are, you don’t need a whole suitcase. A carry-on is usually sufficient to pack your essentials like race-day clothing, running shoes, nutritional supplements, and registration documents.

Our 36-L backpacks are thoughtfully designed to create and organize your items in a way that makes sense for athletes and are the perfect carry-on size for flying.
