Jackets
Bringing the correct jacket is very important to your trip. If you don’t bring a jacket that is adequate to withstand the conditions, it can ruin parts of your trip that you may never get to experience again.
For rain jackets, make sure to get a jacket that is water proof, not water resistant. Also look for a jacket that has armpit zippers or holes, as it can get quite hot in the rain jackets in the summer.
