When you're packing for a trip that includes sightseeing, long days on your feet, and a little running mixed in, every item in your bag has to earn its spot. Ross recently returned from Italy, and these were the products he reached for again and again—from cobblestone streets to scenic morning runs.
A good trip starts with good shoes, especially when you're walking several miles each day. The big question leading up to the trip was which pair of shoes was he going to take?
Ross packed the HOKA Mach 6 for its lightweight feel and versatile ride. Whether heading out for a morning run or spending the day exploring cities on foot, the Mach 6 offered the cushioning and responsiveness needed to stay comfortable from sunrise to sunset.

A breathable Ciele hat helped keep the sun off during warm afternoons while packing down easily when it wasn't needed. Lightweight and washable, it's one of those accessories that ends up getting worn almost every day.
Long hours outdoors mean sunscreen isn't optional. A lightweight, sweat-friendly sunscreen kept everyone protected without feeling greasy, making it just as useful on a run as it was while exploring Italy's beautiful cities.
Whether heading out for a solo run or staying aware of busy streets and bike traffic, the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 headphones made it easy to enjoy music or podcasts while still hearing everything happening around them. Their open-ear design makes them a favorite for both travel and training.
Ross packed Smartwool Run Zero Cushion Ultra Light socks for hot days when breathability was the priority. The Merino wool blend naturally manages moisture while helping reduce odors—perfect for traveling light.
For days that called for a little more underfoot comfort, Feetures Light Cushion socks added just enough padding without feeling bulky. Both options helped keep feet comfortable through miles of walking and running.
Warm temperatures, travel, and long days can make hydration a challenge. LMNT electrolyte drink mixes made it easy to replace sodium and electrolytes after runs and while spending hours exploring. Just one packet in a bottle of water helped everyone stay hydrated and ready for another day of adventure.
If you've ever spent an entire day exploring a new city, you know that walking 20,000+ steps can be just as demanding as a long run. Body Glide was one of those "better to have it than need it" items that quickly became a travel essential. Applied before heading out for the day, it helped prevent chafing and hot spots from hours of walking, warm weather, and long sightseeing days. Whether you're training for a marathon or wandering the streets of Italy, a little Body Glide can make a big difference in staying comfortable from morning espresso to evening gelato.
When you're packing light, versatility is everything—and the Rabbit EZ Tee earned its place in the suitcase. Made with Rabbit's incredibly soft, moisture-wicking fabric, it's comfortable enough for a morning run yet stylish enough to wear while exploring the city afterward. Lightweight, breathable, and quick-drying, the EZ Tee is the kind of shirt you'll find yourself reaching for day after day, whether you're logging miles, hopping on a train, or enjoying dinner after a full day of adventure.
One of the best parts about traveling is seeing a destination on foot. Whether you're fitting in a sunrise run before sightseeing or simply walking 20,000 steps through a new city, having the right gear makes every mile more enjoyable.
