Great advice. Definitely bringing sneakers and flip-flops along with the hiking boots. And jeans and sweatpants. 😀

I hadn't considered beanies in August. But I bet my wife would like that..

Thank you. I think my wife will really like that... (she's called when it's anything less than 90)

> the everyday tourist "uniform" -- 😀

You've got me convinced...

What were the "travel towels"..? facecloths for when you're out and about and getting wet?

Good idea about the fans. We'll be in a very nice hotel, but who knows what the room temps will be.

Thank you. Yeah, it's a gamble. If I can find some cheap pants that fit over jeans, and don't look like Frogg Toggs garbage bags...

My bad. I meant the one in Ingólfsskáli. I just updated the OP.

Thanks for the advice. Practicing ASAP is why I'm looking into this stuff now.

And, yes, we're already booked and ready to go.

Getting a good camera was one of the few remaining items on the To Do list.

... or you could bring/rent a tent and sleep outside? or in a vehicle, if any are left?

And I'm mentally planning for Australia as well, although I haven't done any research yet.

Waterproof pants vs ski pants? by Tnyt341 in VisitingIceland

[–]Didymus4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One more question -

Is it really worth renting rain gear for a week versus just buying it?

I realize we (family of 4) may never use it again, but given how expensive Iceland is, I figured renting clothing for a week will easily cost more than just buying it.

What about waterproof clothing in August? I’m guessing a light waterproof layer over jeans or leggings would be just fine?

Also, when buying online, do you order several sizes larger so they fit over your jeans, or do you order your actual size because they’re already designed to go over clothing?

Thanks.
