Ticks are saved in this browser for this list. Weights are typical item weights; volumes are packed-volume estimates; both are approximate.

Methodology

Items are tagged by climate, activity, gender preference, minimum trip length and carry-on compatibility and filtered by your answers; clothing marked “per wash cycle” gets a quantity equal to the days between washes (minimum three). Totals sum typical weights and packed volumes and compare the volume with your backpack size.
