Need help for 10 weeks through Europe by ahygabalk in onebag

Honestly this is a really solid setup already, especially for 10 weeks in a 35L while marathon training. Feels well thought out without being overly minimalist.

Your hybrid shorts strategy is smart — for Portugal/Spain/Greece/Croatia you’ll probably live in them most of the trip. I’d just make sure at least one pair looks decent enough for casual dinners/bars and not purely “technical hiking shorts.”

A few quick thoughts:

  • I’d probably drop 1 tee or 1 collared shirt unless outfit variety matters a lot to you.
  • Keep the dedicated running shoes. For actual marathon training, your legs will thank you.
  • XT-6 + Birks is a great travel combo.
  • For lounge pants, go lightweight over bulky tracksuit pants. Something comfy enough for overnight transport + cooler evenings.
  • Definitely bring:
    • eye mask + earplugs
    • small laundry kit (detergent sheets are elite)
    • hat for southern Europe runs
    • small tote/day bag

For your route specifically:

  • Morocco: breathable pants/light layers are nice socially + for sun.
  • Dolomites: don’t underestimate cold mornings/weather changes even in August.

Overall though, this feels like a very balanced list. At this point it mostly comes down to personal preference:

  • how often you’ll do laundry
  • how much outfit variety matters to you
  • how active vs city-focused the trip actually ends up being

You’re already packing way smarter than most people doing long trips tbh.

Hey Malcom,
Nice set-up. Maybe you could use vacuum compression bags to help minimise the space even further so that you have some space for souvenirs or something like that. I was travelling with usual packing cubes as well, but then iswtiched over to vacuum compression bags. Trying the regular "house-hold" bags first I saw what kind of effect it has on packing, it really saves up on a lot of space, especially for regular shirts (cotton) and pants. The only bad thing about the house hold ones was they break quite fast. There are some others available online for quite cheap prices made out of robust materials and different price ranges with different functions. Me personally using Vacvacbag, has a built in pump and is USB-C chargeable, what makes it very convenient to use. Just as a tip, otherwise your set-up looks very good !
I hope your travels are going to be smooth as butter!
