Performance "Threads" Thread

I think it's time we started a thread for "performance" clothing for travel. On other threads, people have said they like bluffworks pants. Let's start a thread to talk about other lightweight easy care products that they use for travel.

Personally, because I travel a lot in Europe where they often have an 8Kg limit on luggage weight, I try to go for lightweight stuff.

For example, in August, I wanted to try cutting down on the luggage weight and volume by getting rid of cotton underwear/undershirts in favor of something synthetic - also with the hope that it would be more washable on the road, I bought a few undershirts and underpants from ex-officio, http://www.exofficio.com/products/de...eck-tshirt-S14

and while found them to be lightweight and easily washable, either the shirts shrunk or are just cut too short as they kept un-tucking themselves from my pants.

In December, I discovered "Airism" from Uniqlo:

Which I have found to be both lighter and more comfortable (and much cheaper) so I ditched the ex-officio stuff.

I also bought at Uniqlo an "ultra light down" parka http://www.uniqlo.com/us/men/outerwe...ight-down.html Which has been great and amazingly light.

I'm interested to hear from the group what other travel clothing you recommend!
