Weekend trip must-haves
Once you have decided on a destination, it's time to pack your bag and go. A well thought-out packing list is essential to ensure you don't forget anything. We'll show you the most important must-haves that are useful on any weekend trip:
• Weekender Bag or Backpack:
As the name suggests, a Weekender is the perfect travel bag for a weekend. It offers enough space for clothes and essentials and is also handy and robust. The camel active weekender is equipped with extra pockets, ultra-light, and even foldable. camel active backpacks are also ideal companions for a weekend trip. Made from water-repellent, recycled nylon, they reliably protect your clothes from rain and offer plenty of storage space thanks to the many compartments.
• Cross Body Bag:
For quick access to important items a small, practical bag is ideal. The camel active Body Bags are not only functional but also practical because you can keep your phone, wallet and co close to you while keeping both hands free.
• Functional Jacket:
A good functional jacket is essential in changing weather, whether hiking, at a festival, or in the city. The teXXXactive® jackets from camel active are waterproof, windproof, and breathable. They offer optimal protection and comfort, whether it's raining or windy.
• Outdoor Shoes:
Comfortable and durable shoes are a must for any weekend trip. The best choices are sneakers that you can walk in for long periods. camel active sneakers provide the necessary support and comfort, whether hiking, walking, or exploring the city.
• Accessories:
Caps and hats for sun protection, a multifunctional scarf, sunscreen, and a water bottle are essential accessories that should not be missing. These small extras make a big difference and contribute to your well-being during the trip.
Tips for efficient packing
Efficient packing not only saves space in your luggage but also time and nerves. With these five practical tips, packing for your weekend trip becomes a breeze:
Outfit Idea 1:
Outdoor Explorer – a weekend in nature
For a weekend in nature, you need functional and comfortable clothing. Our recommendation: A teXXXactive functional jacket that protects against wind and rain. Underneath, we wear a breathable T-shirt or long-sleeved shirt, which regulates moisture and keeps us dry even during active pursuits. For pants, our Zip-Off Explorer Pant is ideal for a weekend trip in nature. The zip-off legs are perfect if you can't decide between long and short pants or want to save weight on a longer hike. Robust hiking or trekking shoes are important for a secure grip on rough outdoor routes. A light backpack for provisions and essential items, as well as a cap or hat for extra sun protection, complete the outdoor outfit perfectly.
Outfit-Idea 2:
Urban Nomad – sporty casual look for a city trip
If you're planning a city trip, a casually comfortable but fashionable look is required. For a jacket, we choose a lightweight version, such as a sporty trench coat or a blouson. Alternatively, a casual overshirt or a sporty blazer is suitable. Under the jacket, we combine a T-shirt with comfortable chinos, cargo, or jeans for a casual look. Sporty sneakers are a must-have for exploration tours during the city trip and can be easily combined with any outfit. As an accessory, we choose a crossbody bag or belt bag to keep all the important little things handy.
Outfit-Idea 3:
Festival Look with camel active – how to rock the festival style
With these camel active highlights, you're perfectly equipped for the festival summer: What must not be missing is a bucket hat. It instantly upgrades any outfit and creates a casually cool festival look. Alternatively, summer hats, e.g., hats with a straw look, are also suitable. To be comfortable on the often sandy or muddy festival grounds, chunky boots are an ideal choice. Combined with short shorts or airy dresses, they give your festival outfit a robust touch. For cooler evening hours, we combine a long cardigan or a denim jacket as a timeless classic. The festival style is rounded off with a bandana or scarf, which you can use in many ways – as a headband, scarf, or wrist accessory.
