Puffer Hug

Packing for varied climates and temperature-turbulent seasons like spring and fall means being prepared with a stash of layers. Nothing frustrates the professional packer like wasting space on spare garments that may never be worn, so stash a workhorse accessory instead. The Puffer Hug is an extra-wide, fleece-lined scarf with a nylon top shell and two deep pockets for chilly hands, keys and gadgets … or all of the above. The 71-inch length serves as a generous scarf in multiple conditions, but the 15-inch lie-flat width doubles as a warming layer beneath coats, sparing a few sweaters from your suitcase. Available in adult, child and dog sizes (still with pockets!). $49.99
