 Merino wool tops are brilliant for fastpacking. They do not smell even after being worn for days, which means that you can usually manage a trip with one or two tops that won’t need hand-washing. They come in different thicknesses and you can get lightweight t-shirts, vests or thicker base layers. You can also get merino underwear and leggings.

 Avoid thick seams on tops because these will rub between your pack and skin. Where seams are unavoidable, choose flat-locked seams.

 Wear a top that will cover the entire surface area of your pack. Fastpacking in a sports bra or a vest will rub your skin where the pack is in contact with it.

 Women should look for seamless sports bras, with close-fitting and flat straps.

 Consider cutting out labels to avoid chafing.

 Always consider multi-use for different items of gear. A pair of running tights will be travel-wear, evening-wear or running-wear when it’s cold or wet. A fleece top for the evening will be an extra running layer if it gets cold. A Buff could be a beanie, headband, travel towel or wrist sweat-band.
