Performer
When you’re travelling
light, every item you pack
needs to punch above its
weight. Vancouver-based
Ryu’s (page 40) high-
tech apparel is the most
valuable player in any suit-
case: four-way stretch is
ideal for beach yoga class-
es, while the antimicrobial
treatment and breathabil-
ity keep things classy—i.e.
odour-free—on sunny
hikes or at music festivals.
Plus, the tanks (pictured)
are ultra lightweight. It’s
the perfect way to step up
your sightseeing game.
