A traveling photographer will give up every bit of real estate inside of luggage to pack an extra light or an extra modifier.\u00a0 Over the last couple of years, I’ve been in awe of my buddy Martin as he’s able to travel around the globe for weeks on end with just the smallest of suitcases. I made a resolution back in January that this would be the year that I would get onto technical clothing – and I used this Venice trip to do it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I spent 10 days in Venice with 2 pairs of pants, 2 pairs of socks, 2 pairs of undies, and 2 shirts.<\/p>\n

I LOVED it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is Technical Clothing?<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The easiest way to explain Technical Clothing – think of fabrics that are functional first – easy to dry, moisture wicking, no wrinkle fabrics.\u00a0 Most of these types of fabrics have been relegated to outdoor\/hiking duty. Think of those plastic feeling pants with the zippered legs from Columbia for fishing.\u00a0 However, you don’t want to look like that -all- of the time.\u00a0 You want that kind of material so that its easy to wash, and quick to dry, but you want it to look good.<\/p>\n

Enter Rohan\"\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

Martin turned me onto Rohan Designs back when we were in Dubai last.\u00a0 There are a -ton- of Technical clothing companies out there (Ex-Oficio, Outlier to name a couple of good ones), but Martin swore by three things at Rohan that made me consider them in an instant.\u00a0 Martin said that their materials were top notch,\u00a0 the styling was great, and their customer service was legendary.<\/p>\n

I had to try it out.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For workshops and speaking gigs, I wear pretty much the same thing all the time.\u00a0 Pair of smart jeans and a black shirt. Went onto the Rohan site and ordered their Newtown Jeans and their simple T-Shirt.\u00a0 I really wished they had a long sleeve\/short sleeve solid black shirt – but this would do in a pinch.\u00a0 I got two pairs of these undies – but I’ll spare the picture. \ud83d\ude42<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A pair of black trousers for hiking could be useful, so I got their Bags trousers in black.\u00a0 To round out the black shirt, I bought a Field and Stream short sleeve black shirt and pulled off all of the Field and Stream logos from it.<\/p>\n

Hello Scrubba!<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, two pairs of clothes for ten days could be panic inducing for many, but this brought me to the next thing that would totally help – the Scrubba Wash Bag.<\/a><\/p>\n
