Baselayers
The best base layers. I got 2 pair of base layers (2 pants/2 shirts) plus a quarter zip. So soft and kept me warm but not hot. I felt comfortable and they weren't restrictive at all. The most important thing for me was moisture wicking, odor resistan...
Women's Classic Thermal Merino Wool Base Layers
Pricey but keep your feet warm. I’ve had several pairs of these for years and they still look new. These have cushion so you can wear them in your hiking boots without getting blisters. Don’t make my feet hot at all.
Women's Hike Classic Edition Crew Socks
Midlayer
As a group travel leader, I always make a list of things to bring and share it amongst the group. I’ve done a group trip to Iceland twice so far (both times in January). I’ve kept this list of items on my iPhone note app and shared this list so many ...
My favorite purchase overall! The best mid layer. I bought a colorful one but went back and bought a solid color one to wear on a regular basis. This thing was easy to throw on over my base layer. Temperature regulating. Couldn’t feel the wind or col...
Women's Summit Grid™ Tunic Hoody
Wore these UA ColdGear over my base layer and under my wind/water proof outer layer. These kept me warm. Felt like normal, supportive legging but with the added benefit of warmth. They were moisture wicking and dried fast if they got wet.
UA ColdGear® - Leggings
Another really easy mid layer to throw on over your base layer. Lightweight and breathable. Hood zips up around your face.
Women's Fleece and Soft-Shell Jackets | REI Co-op
Outerlayer
Got a pair of these in black and layer them over everything. We had long travel days so I would take them off on the bus and just slide them back off as we got off. They were wind and water proof. Adjustable waist and can be cinched at the ankle to k...
REI Co-op Rainier Rain Pants - Women's
These kept my hands so warm. I hate bulky gloves and these were lightweight so they were my preferred gloves unless it was really cold and wet. Love the clip to keep them together. I’ve been to Iceland twice in January for about 25 days total and I u...
Women's Fleece Gloves | REI Co-op
I though a balaclava was silly looking and almost didn't purchase one. When the Icelandic wind starts hitting you right in the face you'll wish you had it. It was super compact, so I just kept it in my jacket pocket until I needed it. I layered it un...
Thermal Merino Balaclava
I got a couple of different Smartwool beanies depending on how cold it was outside. The fleece lined one was really warm for the coldest, windy days. I preferred the merino wool beanie for the warmer days.

Hiking Boots
The airport lost my luggage, so I had to buy these while I was in Iceland. Seriously the best hiking boots ever. Waterproof is actually waterproof; I walked too close to the water and diamond beach and got hit with a wave on my shoes. Didn't feel it ...
Öskubakur women's hiking shoes
Swimsuit
The shape and support! Snatches your waist and smooths everything out. 🔥 I have the long sleeve in black. It had a corset in the back so you can tighten or loosen it. The long sleeves were perfect for SE Asia because we were snorkeling a lot and my ...
