For Overpackers, Weekend Warriors, and Budget Airline Travelers
Pack light, feel confident, and travel smart with this ultimate checklist. Designed for carry-on only trips, this guide helps you look fly without paying extra baggage fees or dragging your whole closet through the airport.

The Bag

• GYMBUU Bag (choose your favorite color and pack with pride)

• 2–3 Packing cubes for organization (free with every Gymbuu bag purchase)

• USB charging bank and cord (not to brag bus USB is built in to Gymbuu)

• Clear toiletry cube

• Lightweight, foldable tote bag

• Optional mini lock (built in) and luggage tag

 Clothing (Capsule Style)

Choose a color story to mix and match outfits easily

• 2 Tops (one casual, one dressy)

• 2 Bottoms (jeans, joggers, or skirt)

• 2 extra lightweight shirts (t-shirts or tank tops)

• 1 Dress or jumpsuit

• 1 Lightweight jacket or cardigan

• 1 Set of pajamas or lounge wear

• 2–3 Pairs of underwear

• 2 Bras (one comfy, one supportive)

• 1 Pair of socks per day

• 1 Activewear set (if you plan to work out)

• 1 Swimsuit (optional, based on destination)

• 1 Pair of shoes for walking or travel day

• 1 Pair of flats or sandals

Tip: Wear your bulkiest shoes and outerwear during travel to save space in your bag.
