This type of post-action report can really help with future planning. I’ve once before given away a poorly performing item while on a trip and there is something very satisfying about it! Maybe it’s because you aren’t lugging it around.<br /> Was there anything you wished you had brought, or felt like you only wore because you brought it, but could have subbed another item? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6wrapping-up-the-travel-capsule#post-2324028 Tue, 23 May 2023 12:36:25 +0000 RobinF 2324028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like it worked perfectly!
