The ultimate travel hack isn’t an app; it is a fabric that refuses to stink. Cotton is an odour magnet. It traps bacteria and holds onto sweat like a trophy. Merino wool is naturally antibacterial. Its fibres trap odour molecules deep inside and only release them when they hit the wash.
This “stink-shield” is the secret weapon of the one-bag traveller. Because your clothes don’t smell, you don’t need fourteen different shirts for a fortnight’s trip. Wearing the same Merino top for several days becomes a brilliant strategy.
This resilience deletes “find a launderette” from your holiday itinerary. While cotton loses its freshness by lunchtime, a simple overnight hang refreshes Merino for the next morning. You will smell like a seasoned traveller from the first museum tour to the final pint.
