As we are approaching Summer (in the Northern Hemisphere, anyway) it’s time again to consider warm-weather travel gear, which can be a particular challenge if you’re a plus-size traveler. I wrote a post a while ago for my favorite women’s travel gear site Her Packing List all about skorts…that they’re basically the perfect travel garment! Scope these skorts here!

Underwear is the most crucial, but most overlooked part of your travel gear, and good travel underwear can be very hard to find for plus-size travelers. I wrote a post a while back for Her Packing List to help fellow plus-size babes find just the right underoos.

I’ve written this post, the first in a series of posts about plus-size travel clothing for Her Packing List, a really fantastic site about travel gear for women.
As a plus-size woman looking for crucial gear for my own long-term travels, I’ve found that good plus-size travel clothes are few and far between. Most versatile women’s gear, like convertible dresses or shirts, only work for people that are very thin, and many plus-size options, when you can find them at all, are designed for the retired cruising set, and not necessarily for backpackers.
