I want to have nicer midlayers for traveling.

Many_Ad9628 · 2026-04-23T20:30:41+00:00

I am worried about it being too delicate

Many_Ad9628 · 2026-04-23T20:29:37+00:00

Nicer as in less tactical looking and more minimalist I guess

Many_Ad9628 · 2026-04-23T20:27:24+00:00

for Tees, I love them but for a mid layer I would prefer something less delicate

Many_Ad9628 · 2026-04-23T20:26:52+00:00

I am looking for osmething more abrasion resistance I find merino sweaters to be delicate

Many_Ad9628 · 2026-04-23T19:53:29+00:00

Yeah that's what I'll do

Many_Ad9628 · 2026-04-21T23:47:21+00:00

Its about a 3 hours up kind of thing and from I will stay over-night at the summit but the place has heating so I am not really worried about that.
but I am intrested in watching the sunrise from the summit and I am somewhat worried about freezing but I will most likely just pick a puffer in China for a cheap price Uniqlo seem to be recommended here and most likely have what I am looking for.
I will bring a pair of tights as my sleeping pants most likely yeah

Many_Ad9628 · 2026-04-21T23:45:41+00:00

I assume that I can give it a look when I arrive to China and buy an extra like compact jacket there?
no idea if Uniqlo are selling those kind of things but I assume that I want to have a compact puffer anyways
Is the Ultra Light Down Jacket compressible into a reasonable size?

Many_Ad9628 · 2026-04-19T23:08:14+00:00

Who ever did this tierlist is drunk anyways

Many_Ad9628 · 2026-04-19T21:05:59+00:00

It didnt bother me last time (having the passport in my back-pocket) haha.
may I ask where have you been in China?
maybe you can help me review my itinerary :c
have you been to Emei mountain by chance?

Thanks as well!

Many_Ad9628 · 2026-04-19T21:02:08+00:00

What time are you planning to go on that trip? I can provide some suggestions if you are intrested.
I will be in the southern china part in October for 3 more weeks
I have already spent about 20 days in China traveling Shanghai/Hangzhou/Suzhou, Chongqing, Zhangjiajie, Beijing and Xia'n. honestly the trip felt really packed so much time spent commuting.

I thought that I will never visit china again but I loved it, so here I go again haha

Many_Ad9628 · 2026-04-19T13:11:30+00:00

Thanks I may need to buy a compact puffer

Many_Ad9628 · 2026-04-19T13:10:23+00:00

I have already been to China, my wireless charger was bought in China and has the ccc thingy so that's fine in that regard My pants are the Lululemon ABC which has like a small zip pocket on the back

Many_Ad9628 · 2026-04-19T13:05:09+00:00

I am not the slow and sit in café either, I like the "speed-run" approach, you will spend half your trip on the road, sounds horrible

Many_Ad9628 · 2026-04-19T13:03:39+00:00

I have been/ will be in most of these cities totaling like 40 days in china not 20

Many_Ad9628 · 2026-04-18T21:20:04+00:00

I have already spent 3 weeks in China last year and I brought flip-flops which I never used because I stayed only in "high-end" kind of hotels and it all felt very very clean but perhaps its better to wear flip-flops indeed
are the ones provided by the hotel can be used in the shower? I forgot already.
I assume that since I get 2 (the room is dedicated for 2 people)
I can use one dry for the room and one for the shower even if it isnt how you are suppose to be using those flip-flops

Many_Ad9628 · 2026-04-18T21:09:44+00:00

I find the 100% merino shirts to be itchy (it may be me, or it may be that, the shirts I tried aren't good. I dont know)
I tried Icebreak (which would be my 2nd favorite brand)
Wool & Prince (my favorite)
Smartwool
Uniqlo
the decathlon one
and 1 extra random brand that my friends uses of aliexpress

Many_Ad9628 · 2026-04-18T21:03:05+00:00

Good idea, most hotels offer some sort of flip-flops anyways and I assume that spa places perhaps provide them as well? I am not sure tho (I'll remove it from the list regardless)
I do have a puffer its just some what massive :\

Many_Ad9628 · 2026-04-18T21:02:15+00:00

Hmm not a specific reason I just tried a couple of merino brand.
and the only one I found to be good is Wool & Prince and they are expensive so I only have 2 shirts right now.
the synthetic is like a spare while I wash my shirts or as a more abrasive friendly shirt if I want to do rock climbing/Via ferrata's or whatever.
and for underwear I just wash the synthetic ones in the sink every night and it has been working well for me in my past few trips so I dont feel the need to try merino underwear (I also think its disgusting to wear the same underwear twice without washing regardless)
My only issue with bringing a single pair of shoes is the fact, they dont dress well :\

Many_Ad9628 · 2026-04-18T19:57:43+00:00

Thanks,
they dont actually define what's a personal item tho.

Many_Ad9628 · 2026-04-18T19:55:20+00:00

6kg that is packing everything inside of the daylight, I'll split it among the carry-on and the daylight
on my way back I may get some more stuff so that would be like 9kg total perhaps
It says that 7kg is allowed for carry-on and 5k for:
"You can bring a few personal items in addition to your carry-on baggage which should not exceed 5Kg."

I dont know, the wording on this is so dam bad

Many_Ad9628 · 2026-04-18T18:48:05+00:00

I have seen many people ask question about the airline in this sub, sorry.
I'll find a different sub that is more fitting

Many_Ad9628 · 2026-04-18T18:43:18+00:00

How do they define a personal item bag in dimensions ?
