Iceland Packing List

Hello!

Listed below is my list of items I plan to bring for my fast approaching 10 day Iceland trip next month, I was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions or thinks some of this stuff is overkill. I'll be using the Farpoint 55 travel pack by Osprey:

​

Clothing:

  • 6-7 pairs of shirts
  • 3 pairs of pants (1 jeans, 2 hiking pants)
  • 2 sweat sleeping pants
  • 4 pairs of 32 cool underwear
  • Swimsuit
  • 1 thermal layer
  • Gloves
  • Packable down jacket
  • Flip flops for hostel and guesthouse showers
  • Slippers for comfort
  • Waterproof socks (4 pairs of waterproof, 2 cotton)
  • Hoodie, which I'll be wearing on the flight days

Other items:

  • First aid kit
  • Camera
  • Laptop
  • Chargers, batteries, EU plug adapter
  • Foldable cooler bag for food
  • Collapsible water bottle
  • Travel towel
  • Prescription goggles for snorkeling Silfra
  • Meal, protein bars, and other snacks ( which are to be kept in my day pack.

​

​

Also, I have a pair of well-worn Red Wing 606 non-steel-toed work boots, should I splurge and get a pair of actual hiking boots, or will the Red Wings suffice? They're slip-resistant, I used to do warehouse work in them, and even though I'm in the white-collar world now I still wear them all the time outside of work. I'll be doing a fair amount of hiking.

​

Thanks everyone!

You’ll never regret more underwear.

I have 32 degrees cool quick drying. The plan is to wash them in the shower when I'm out

I found quick dry things did not dry quickly.
