Travel underwear comes in fast-drying materials designed to wick moisture away from the skin and dry quickly. The ExOfficiotravel underwear range is highly supportive, with just the right amount of stretch for comfort, while Icebreakermerino underwear is perfect for warm and cool climates, plus both brands are antibacterial and also fast drying!

FAQs

What is the best travel underwear for a warm climate?

When travelling in warm and humid climates we do not want to wear more layers than necessary, and we certainly don’t want those layers working against us in the heat. Travel underwear needs to be highly breathable underwear, and also fast drying. All of the travel underwear we stock is fast drying: the ExOfficio range is the fastest drying option, though all the models we stock tend to dry overnight, including Icebreakermerino underwear. Making daily wash-and-wear super simple while traveling.

What is the best travel underwear for cool climates?

The key point for travel underwear in cold climates is that it should be fast-drying, as damp material causes us to chill quickly in cool climates. Beyond fast drying, the choice is really a personal preference. However, if you are looking to optimise the performance of your layering for cold weather, merino underwear works hand in hand with a merino base layer to promote continuous insulation while maintaining effortless breathability between each layer of merino wool, ensuring you stay toasty warm while not overheating. All our womens underwear options have been selected to be both fast-drying and breathable, making choosing travel underwear a breeze.

Which womens underwear is best for travelling?

We have carefully selected our range of womens travel underwear with comfort and performance in mind. All of our womens underwear is highly breathable and fast-drying, two key features in travel underwear! Our Icebreakermerino underwear is naturally antibacterial meaning it can be comfortably worn for days, merino underwear also naturally keeps you warm in cool weather and cool in warm weather - as it does for merino sheep! While our ExOfficiowomens underwear range is a nylon spandex mix for the fastest drying option, also utilising Fresh Tech in the fabric construction for odor resistance. They also come in travel specific options with soft mesh panelling to further promote breathability in even the most humid climates.

What types of travel bras does Paddy Pallin stock?

Many of our womens travel bra models come in light and dark colour-ways for simplicity while traveling. And our sports travel bra options come in some fun colours too.

What is the best way to care for travel underwear while travelling?

Often when travelling there is limited access to laundry facilities and limited interest in such a mundane chore when we could be exploring a new city, or if we’ve hiked all day and getting dinner ready and our feet up is more of a priority. That’s why the brands and models of travel underwear we select for our range are not going to distract from your experience. Merino underwear is naturally antibacterial so can easily be worn for multiple days, and they are fast-drying. While our ExOfficio range is so fast-drying you could wash them, ring them out, pop them on and they would be almost dry while you finish brushing your teeth. All our travel underwear options are cold water washable, and no special wash liquids are required.
