Take a collarless down vest
As well as packing thin knitwear and thermals, the travel expert recommended taking a down vest – similar to a thin gilet-style jacket, to later underneath other coats.
The TikTok user branded the item the “number one clothing item” that will “change the game” of packing light for cold-weather destinations.
She explained that designs with elements that fold away to create a different neckline work best as they are more versatile. Kate said: “This means you can pack more lightweight jackets or jumpers in place of larger, heavier coats and still stay warm.”
In extremely cold places, like Canada, the life-hacks expert recommended layering the down vest with thermals or a thin base layer, and another jacket on top.
