The 7 Best Travel Hoodies

Deputy Executive Editor Sarah Schlichter's idea of a perfect trip includes spotting exotic animals, hiking through pristine landscapes, exploring new neighborhoods on foot, and soaking up as much art as she can. She often attempts to recreate recipes from her international travels after she gets home (which has twice resulted in accidental kitchen fires—no humans or animals were harmed).

Sarah joined the SmarterTravel team in 2017 after more than a decade at the helm of IndependentTraveler.com.

The Handy Item I Always Pack: "A journal. Even years later, reading my notes from a trip can bring back incredibly vivid memories."

Ultimate Bucket List Experience: "Road tripping and hiking through the rugged mountains of Patagonia."

Travel Motto: "'To awaken quite alone in a strange town is one of the pleasantest sensations in the world.'—Freya Stark"

Aisle, Window, or Middle Seat: "Aisle. I get restless on long flights and like to be able to move around without disturbing anyone else."

There’s nothing cozier than a hooded sweatshirt, especially on a long flight (or even just on the couch at home) when all you want to do is curl up and get comfortable.

Lined with stretchy cotton fleece, this easy-going hoodie will keep you warm and cozy. Available in neutral colors, the Ugg Nancy Full Zip Hoodie will go with any outfit.

SCOTTeVEST Chloe Glow Hoodie

From the outside, SCOTTeVEST’s Chloe Glow Hoodie looks like an ordinary, if attractive, microfleece sweatshirt for women. It’s not until you put it on that you realize just how much you can fit into its 14 pockets, cleverly designed to hold phones, tablets, glasses, passports, and other small items. Many of the pockets are on the inside of the hoodie, making them less accessible to potential thieves. Bonus: The main zipper goes all the way up to the hood, so you can protect all or part of your face in windy conditions.

SCOTTeVEST Hoodie Cotton

Men looking for a similar travel hoodie can try this sweatshirt  from SCOTTeVEST, which has a whopping 21 pockets. Besides all the storage space, the best feature for travelers is the “Do Not Disturb” eye mask that flips down from the hood to block out the world—perfect for a long flight or train ride.

You don’t need a feature-packed Kickstarter travel hoodie stuffed with gizmos you won’t use. Great travel sweatshirts are all about quality fabrics, a comfy fit, and long lasting performance on the road.

A great travel hoodie can be your ace in the hole on the road, but only if it does two things well. A travel sweatshirt has to keep you warm on icy planes and long bus rides, and it has to be easy to pack in your  carry on travel backpack . That’s it. Adding a zippered pocket is nice, but anything else is just needless bells and whistles.

Pack for trips of one week or more without checking a bag.

• Thick comfortable straps
• Easy to organize
• Durable, waterproof fabric
• Backed by our Worldwide Warranty

Getting caught up in the hype of the newest feature-packed travel hoodies on Kickstarter and IndieGoGo is easy, but nothing will ever replace quality performance fabrics, like merino wool, and sturdy construction that can handle years of hard wear and tear on the road.

You don’t need 15 pockets, an inflatable neck pillow, and a flimsy fold out eye mask. You really, really don’t. The best travel hoodie is one that you actually like wearing when you’re on the go. To help, below are our picks for the best travel hoodies for men and women , as well as tips for choosing one.

The Best Travel Hoodies for Men

Here are four of the best travel hoodies for men including nods for interesting travel features, points for style, a good budget option, and my pick for best overall performance.

Unbound Compact Travel Hoodie  ($165): Best Lightweight Hoodie for Planes

The  Unbound Compact Travel Hoodie  got me excited about fall travel again, and not just because it looks awesome. This insanely compact hoodie is made from superfine merino wool so it’ll keep you warm in actual cold weather without taking up any extra space in your backpacks. All the features you want, without any of the gimmicks you don’t need.

Odor-resistant, it packs down to the size of a t-shirt and can last for weeks without needing a wash. In fact, Unbound claims, “ it can be worn all year long without needing to be washed .” You might not want to go that far, but it’s nice to know you could. 

A great travel hoodie isn’t about 45 pockets and a million minor features. It’s about a layer that packs down small, keeps you warm, and can last for weeks on the road. Superfine merino is even  wrinkle-resistant , so you won’t look like crap when you land.

That’s key for long-haul travelers like myself that go on extended trips across multiple climates. I want something that I can pack easily but also looks great and performs well in actual, real life. Unbound is one of the few  crowdfunded travel hoodies  I support (a lot of them are total nonsense). It’s available starting October 2018, so snag yours before your next winter trip. You’ll be stoked you did.

Amazon Essentials Full Zip Hooded Fleece Sweatshirt  ($19): Best Budget Travel Hoodie

If you’re looking for something ultra budget, the thin cotton poly blend from Amazon ticks a few boxes. It’s lightweight, comfy, and looks great. You’ll actually want to wear this hoodie on your trip.

Yes, it’s 52% cotton, but it’s tough to find a sweatshirt under $20 that can fit comfortably in your carry on backpack. Plus, if you’re looking for travel gear you can donate when you’re done with your trip , this is the perfect sweatshirt.

Bluesmiths Kula Windpro Hoodie  ($255): Best Hoodie With Inside Pockets

If you’re torn between getting a hoodie and a light shell or outer layer, the Bluesmiths Kula Windpro might be for you.

Designed by surfers (so I’m in), this hoodie is built for use in the wet and the wind. It’s 90% polyester with enough elastane to flex and move with you no matter what you like to do. The breathable Polartec material and DWR waterproofing shelters you from wind and the occasional downpour. It’s actually really functional, but the best part is that the  Bluesmiths Kula hoodie  is a workhorse that doesn’t  look  like a workhorse.

The sophisticated tailored fit and minimal, yet functional, features like: snag resistant material, breathable fabric, zippered sleeve stash pockets, hidden adjustable hoodie draw cords, and a headphone cord manager make this the perfect travel hoodie for surfers, runners, hikers, and active nomads that also spend time in the city. It’s basically an undercover travel beast.

And while the Kula Windpro is technically a men’s hoodie, they claim that “size XXS, XS and S are cut to work for women .”

prAna Hooded Sweater  ($89): Best Stylish Travel Hoodie

This hoodie wins the award for most stylish travel hoodie, by a mile. Stripped of all the dopey zipper toggles and pockets, this hooded sweatshirt is perfect for adding a little sophistication and chic to your travel wardrobe.

The higher collar line, organic cotton, and overall tailored fit of the this sweater transforms it into something you could wear out on the town. Comfy, chic, and very travel friendly. Big fan.

Overall, prAna has a great selection of men’s hoodies and sweaters , all of which are ethically sourced and wonderful for travel.

The Best Travel Hoodies for Women

Our picks for the best travel hoodies for women are warm, fashionable, and (naturally) have pockets.

Fjällräven Fleece Hoodie: ($150) The Best Overall Travel Hoodie

This stylish travel hoodie is warm enough to wear as an outer layer, yet lightweight enough to pack in a carry on backpack for longer trips.

The fleece fabric provides tons of stretch and the tailored fit means you won’t look like a backpacker. It features zippered pockets, a chest stash pocket, and a cozy hood.

Basically, it’s a solid travel hoodie that performs like a pro and doesn’t look too techy.

prAna Milani Hoodie  ($89): The Best Lightweight Travel Hoodie

prAna’s Milani travel hoodie doesn’t have all the features you’d expect in a performance travel hoodie. Yes, it’s just got a kangaroo pocket (no zippers), but it makes a great base layer.

If you want to add a utility hitter to your winter travel packing list that’s warm, stylish, and easy to pack, the Milani Hoodie is a great option. Perfect for urban travelers.

Betabrand Knockout Travel Hoodie  ($47): The Best Travel Hoodie with Pockets

If you’re a fan of features, the Betabrand Knockout travel hoodie is packed with a few that I actually recommend. The stash sleeve pockets are thoughtful and well designed, and the clip on the hoodie drawstrings does make a passable, if a tad impractical, eye mask in a pinch. Personally I think a quality  eye mask  is a game changer that doesn’t take up much space, but if you really want to pack light, this hoodie can keep the light out of your eyes on your next long haul flight.

The jersey knit is comfortable, stretchy, and woven with a little spandex for that extra give. The cuff thumb holes are solid, and the cut is stylish. I’m not sure how I feel about the fur lined hood which claims to act like a travel pillow (it doesn’t), while blocking out sound. If you’re always worried about the cold when you fly, it’s a worthwhile inclusion to your  capsule wardrobe .

Patagonia Fleece Hoodie ($159): The Best Fleece Hoodie

Yes, Patagonia’s Fleece has taken over San Francisco, but trendiness aside, it’s still a great, ultra-functional travel hoodie. While made for the outdoors, it doesn’t look overly athletic, and maintains a simple style that works for urban travels as well. It also has multiple pockets, both side pockets and inside pockets, to help you stash your stuff.

Designed for active travelers, this hoodie is lightweight, easy to pack, and perfect for spring and fall travel or great for layering in colder climes.

What are The Best Fabrics for Travel Hoodies?

The best fabrics for travel hoodies are merino wool and polyester. Below we’ll break down why these two fabrics are the best to choose from.

Superfine Merino Wool is Better Than Cotton

A hoodie can be one of your most important pieces of travel gear, but only if it’s the right fabric. Cotton sweatshirts, while significantly cheaper, just don’t travel as well as a performance material like superfine merino wool.

If you’re anything like me, you’ll spend a lot of time in your travel hoodie. Long flights, frigid overnight bus rides, cloudy days, and chilly coffeehouses with the AC cranked are just a few reasons to keep your hoodie on. Merino wool is soft to the touch, and keeps you warm in almost any situation. More importantly, it’s odor-resistant and can go a few days ( *cough*  weeks  *cough* ) without having to wash it. That’s easily the most important thing for a travel hoodie—comfort and durable performance.

If you have to wash your hoodie every few days you’re going to quickly get sick of it. Or, you’re just gonna be “that person” at the hostel. Do yourself (and everyone else) a big favor and invest in merino. It’s awesome.

Superfine merino wool is also the answer to added bulk. It folds down to practically nothing, meaning you don’t have to pack a ton of layers for trips in the fall or winter. And, if you end up not needing a sweatshirt you won’t be bummed you brought it along.

Polyester: Wind-Resistance is Key

If merino wool is out of your price range (it can be pretty expensive), look for polyester fabrics that promote wind-resistance, or fleece lining. North Face sweatshirts use a lightweight fleece-like fabric called “ Windwall ” and Carhartt boasts a “Windfighter” polyester blend (although it’s a bit bulky for travel).

Basically, any fabric that has the word “Wind” in the name followed by an “®” symbol is a good sign.

When it comes to merino vs polyester , merino is the best fabric for lightweight, comfy, travel hoodies, but you don’t have to break the bank for a decent performance hoodie.

What Features Should You Look for in a Travel Hoodie?

Merino wool, a zippered pocket, and a comfy low slung adjustable hood will make your sweatshirt work for practically any situation. However, if you want a little more from your travel sweatshirt here are a few premium travel hoodie features.

Sleeve Stash or Inside Pockets

Having a safe, secure place to keep your boarding pass or ticket handy when you’re running through the airport is super nice. Pants pockets are great, but that’s where you keep everything. The best part about sweatshirt stash pockets—especially pockets in the forearm or upper arm of the sleeve—is that they’re small. These pockets don’t let you cram a ton of stuff in there, so you never accidentally lose what’s inside.

I’ve had tickets fall out of my pocket when I grabbed my wallet out of my pants. Not so with a simple, zippered sleeve pocket in your sweatshirt. A tiny feature, but really useful. The  Betabrand Knockout Travel Hoodie  is a great example of a small, simple, functional sleeve stash pocket for your ticket.

Passport Pocket

Same goes for a dedicated passport-sized pocket (usually located on the chest). It’s nice to have a zippered pocket for your passport that just plain works. Two thumbs up for subtle, simple, zippered passport pockets.

Zippered Side Pockets

It’s funny how the best “features” in a travel hoodie are all simple functional places to put important stuff. Weird how that works.

The ability to put my hands in my pockets when I’m wearing a hoodie is important to me, but that could just be the emo kid in me trying to get out. Zippered pockets are a great way to maximize your carry on allowance by stuffing your hoodie pockets with snacks and even a book for the flight. Seam sealed zippers are clutch for rainy destinations, but it’s not a deal breaker if they aren’t totally watertight.

Thumb Hole Cuffs

I love thumb holes in the cuffs of sweatshirts. I do. Come at me, bro. Thumb hole cuffs are amazing because they instantly turn a sweatshirt into a pair of gloves, and you don’t even have to add anything. Make sure you get a sweatshirt with reinforced stitching on the thumb holes. You laugh now, but they’re a nice feature, especially if you like to ride bikes as much as I do.

Adjustable Hood

They call ’em “hoodies” for a reason. Make sure you test the adjustability and comfort of the hood when you try on your next hoodie. This actually does matter. You should be able to comfortably tighten the hood enough to create a makeshift eye mask in a pinch. You don’t need a fold out eye mask or a wacky hoodie clip to get some shut eye on the flight. Just pull the hood down and cinch it tight.

The best travel hoodies for men are:

• Unbound Compact Travel Hoodie
• Bluesmiths Kula Windpro Hoodie
• Amazon Essentials Full Zip Hooded Fleece Sweatshirt
• prAna Hooded Sweater

The best travel hoodies for women are:

• Fjällräven Fleece Hoodie
• Betabrand Knockout Travel Hoodie
• prAna Milani Hoodie
• Patagonia Fleece Hoodie

What are The Best Fabrics for Travel Hoodies?

Merino wool and polyester are the ideal materials for travel hoodies. We’ll explain why these two fabrics are the greatest to pick from in the section below.

1. Superfine Merino Wool

A hoodie may be an essential item of travel clothing, but only if it’s made of the correct material. While cotton sweatshirts are less expensive, they don’t travel as well as a performance fabric like superfine merino wool.

If you’re anything like me, you’ll be wearing your travel hoodie a lot. Long flights, chilly overnight bus journeys, gloomy days, and chilly coffeehouses with the AC turned up are just a few of the reasons to wear your hoodie.

Merino wool is extremely nice to the touch and keeps you warm in practically any circumstance. It’s also odor-resistant, so you can spend a few days ( cough weeks cough ) without washing it. Comfort and long-lasting performance are unquestionably the most crucial features of a travel hoodie.

If you have to wash your hoodie every few days, you’ll become tired of it soon. Alternatively, you’ll just be “that person” at the hostel. Invest in merino wool and do yourself (and everyone else) a favour. It’s fantastic.

Additionally, superfine merino wool can be used to add bulk. It folds down to almost nothing, so you won’t have to bring as many garments with you on vacations in the fall or winter. And you won’t be disappointed that you took a sweater with you if you don’t need it.

2. Polyester

If merino wool is beyond of your budget range (it may be rather costly), opt for wind-resistant polyester materials or fleece lining. The North Face uses a lightweight fleece-like fabric called “Windwall,” while Carhartt uses a polyester blend called “Windfighter” (albeit it’s a bit heavy for travel).

Any cloth with the word “Wind” in the name, followed by the “®” symbol, is a favourable indicator. When it comes to merino vs. polyester, merino is the superior fabric for lightweight, comfortable travel hoodies, but a quality performance hoodie doesn’t have to be expensive.

All listed above Travel Hoodie are among the best in their category. However, Not everyone has a same choice when it comes to best travel hoodie. So you can try Amazon.com for more options of women and mens travel hoodie.

Most extra-warm hoodies are made of cotton, polyester, or a mix of the two. This is because those two fabrics are not only breathable, robust, and insulating, but they are also incredibly flexible.

Are zip-up hoodies better?

Pullover hoodies are quite acceptable, in fact, great. In warm weather, a zip-up can also be worn as a jacket. While a zip-up hoodie loses some warmth when compared to a pullover, depending on the temperature, this isn’t necessarily a negative.

Is a hoodie better than a jacket?

A jacket is more formal than a hoodie, and it’s doubtful to be made of the same sweatshirt fabric. A coat will last longer than a jacket and considerably longer than a hoodie.

How do I know what size hoodie to get?

Size in U.S. measurements (inches) S – 26 ⅜ body length, 19 ½ chest width M – 27 ½ body length, 21 ½ chest width L – 28 ⅝ body length, 23 ½ chest width XL – 29 ¾ body length, 25 ½ chest width 2XL – 30 ⅞ body length, 27 ½ chest width Size in metric measurements (cm) S – 67 body length, 49.5 chest width M – 69.8 body length, 54.6 chest width L – 72.6 body length, 59.7 chest width XL – 75.6 body length, 64.8 chest width 2XL – 78.4 body length, 69.8 chest width

AN ALL-SEASON STAPLE, REFINED.

• Less washing with antibacterial clothing that stays dry, clean and fresh.
• Casual and versatile style with no flashy logos.
• Dries really fast, keeping you comfortable.
• Won't smell after weeks of wear, unlike cotton and synthetics.
• Save space in your carry-on with a warm layer that folds down compactly.

As featured in

Nature's miracle fabric.

Merino wool fibers allow it to wick moisture away from your skin, which ensures comfort and moisture management. Merino wool’s complex structure locks odor molecules within the fiber and only releases them on washing. This ensures Merino wool resists unpleasant odors often experienced with other fibers.

Never Smells

Dries really fast, wicks moisture, perfect for packing.

SOFTER THAN COTTON

This wool isn’t like your typical itchy sweater. We only use superfine (21.5 micron) Merino wool, resulting in a luxurious-feeling hoodie that’s softer, lighter and warmer than a traditional cotton hoodie.

NATURAL AIRFLOW

With Merino, your body heat can pass through the space between our woven superfine fibers, regulating your body temperature and keeping you cool & comfortable in warmer climates.

READY TO GO WRINKLE RESISTANCE

A Merino wool fiber resembles a tight coiled spring, also called a crimp. Pull it and it will recoil back into shape every single time. You’ll never need to iron this shirt, making it perfect for travel.

You won’t have to wash this hoodie much at all. However, when it comes time for a refresh, simply add it to your load at the normal or cool temperature setting and then lay flat to dry.

ABOUT OUR WOOL

• Sustainably sourced from independent, cruelty-free wool farms.
• Woolmark® certified Merino, adheres to the highest standards related to fibre content, performance, color fastness and dimensional stability.
• WRAP (Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production) certified production.
• Tested to ensure our clothing stands up to the rigors of travel and continual use.

Unbound Merino’s shirts are absolutely perfect for travel – good in every situation. They’ve simplified my packing so much that I’m now a carry-on traveler for the first time in my life!

Jonathan Goodman

Having an every day outfit I feel good in reduces cognitive fatigue and allows me to put all my focus on the people I love and the things I want to accomplish.

There was no way I could have possibly traveled as lightly as I did without my Unbound Merino gear. I still can’t believe that these clothes feel so good and really don’t smell after so many days worn consecutively. It’s just awesome.

James “Iron Cowboy” Lawrence

Unbound Merino performs as promised, and has totally simplified how I pack when I travel the world. The shirts are AWESOME and the underwear feels like having your balls cradled by the hands of angels.

I’ve worn one Unbound Merino T-shirt for most of the 18 days I’ve been traveling through Hong Kong and Thailand. Super impressed that this shirt does as promised, it doesn’t smell at all despite no washing.

Perfect for Travel

YOU’LL PACK LIGHTER

With clothing that doesn’t smell after every use, you can pack less, allowing you to ditch the suitcase and travel with just a small backpack.

YOU’LL SAVE MONEY

These days, most airlines are going to charge you for anything other than a carry-on. Start packing lighter and doing less laundry, and save your money for the real experiences.

YOU’LL SAVE TIME

Never check luggage or worry about airports losing your stuff. With fewer but better clothes you’ll blaze through airports like a seasoned pro.

In Transit: Notes from the Underground

Jun 06 2018.

Spend some time in one of Moscow’s finest museums.

Subterranean commuting might not be anyone’s idea of a good time, but even in a city packing the war-games treasures and priceless bejeweled eggs of the Kremlin Armoury and the colossal Soviet pavilions of the VDNKh , the Metro holds up as one of Moscow’s finest museums. Just avoid rush hour.

The Metro is stunning and provides an unrivaled insight into the city’s psyche, past and present, but it also happens to be the best way to get around. Moscow has Uber, and the Russian version called Yandex Taxi , but also some nasty traffic. Metro trains come around every 90 seconds or so, at a more than 99 percent on-time rate. It’s also reasonably priced, with a single ride at 55 cents (and cheaper in bulk). From history to tickets to rules — official and not — here’s what you need to know to get started.

A Brief Introduction Buying Tickets Know Before You Go (Down) Rules An Easy Tour

A Brief Introduction

Moscow’s Metro was a long time coming. Plans for rapid transit to relieve the city’s beleaguered tram system date back to the Imperial era, but a couple of wars and a revolution held up its development. Stalin revived it as part of his grand plan to modernize the Soviet Union in the 1920s and 30s. The first lines and tunnels were constructed with help from engineers from the London Underground, although Stalin’s secret police decided that they had learned too much about Moscow’s layout and had them arrested on espionage charges and deported.

The beauty of its stations (if not its trains) is well-documented, and certainly no accident. In its illustrious first phases and particularly after the Second World War, the greatest architects of Soviet era were recruited to create gleaming temples celebrating the Revolution, the USSR, and the war triumph. No two stations are exactly alike, and each of the classic showpieces has a theme. There are world-famous shrines to Futurist architecture, a celebration of electricity, tributes to individuals and regions of the former Soviet Union. Each marble slab, mosaic tile, or light fixture was placed with intent, all in service to a station’s aesthetic; each element, f rom the smallest brass ear of corn to a large blood-spattered sword on a World War II mural, is an essential part of the whole.

The Metro is a monument to the Soviet propaganda project it was intended to be when it opened in 1935 with the slogan “Building a Palace for the People”. It brought the grand interiors of Imperial Russia to ordinary Muscovites, celebrated the Soviet Union’s past achievements while promising its citizens a bright Soviet future, and of course, it was a show-piece for the world to witness the might and sophistication of life in the Soviet Union.

It may be a museum, but it’s no relic. U p to nine million people use it daily, more than the London Underground and New York Subway combined. (Along with, at one time, about 20 stray dogs that learned to commute on the Metro.)

In its 80+ year history, the Metro has expanded in phases and fits and starts, in step with the fortunes of Moscow and Russia. Now, partly in preparation for the World Cup 2018, it’s also modernizing. New trains allow passengers to walk the entire length of the train without having to change carriages. The system is becoming more visitor-friendly. (There are helpful stickers on the floor marking out the best selfie spots .) But there’s a price to modernity: it’s phasing out one of its beloved institutions, the escalator attendants. Often they are middle-aged or elderly women—“ escalator grandmas ” in news accounts—who have held the post for decades, sitting in their tiny kiosks, scolding commuters for bad escalator etiquette or even bad posture, or telling jokes . They are slated to be replaced, when at all, by members of the escalator maintenance staff.

For all its achievements, the Metro lags behind Moscow’s above-ground growth, as Russia’s capital sprawls ever outwards, generating some of the world’s worst traffic jams . But since 2011, the Metro has been in the middle of an ambitious and long-overdue enlargement; 60 new stations are opening by 2020. If all goes to plan, the 2011-2020 period will have brought 125 miles of new tracks and over 100 new stations — a 40 percent increase — the fastest and largest expansion phase in any period in the Metro’s history.

Facts: 14 lines Opening hours: 5 a.m-1 a.m. Rush hour(s): 8-10 a.m, 4-8 p.m. Single ride: 55₽ (about 85 cents) Wi-Fi network-wide

Buying Tickets

• Ticket machines have a button to switch to English.
• You can buy specific numbers of rides: 1, 2, 5, 11, 20, or 60. Hold up fingers to show how many rides you want to buy.
• There is also a 90-minute ticket , which gets you 1 trip on the metro plus an unlimited number of transfers on other transport (bus, tram, etc) within 90 minutes.
• Or, you can buy day tickets with unlimited rides: one day (218₽/ US$4), three days (415₽/US$7) or seven days (830₽/US$15). Check the rates here to stay up-to-date.
• If you’re going to be using the Metro regularly over a few days, it’s worth getting a Troika card , a contactless, refillable card you can use on all public transport. Using the Metro is cheaper with one of these: a single ride is 36₽, not 55₽. Buy them and refill them in the Metro stations, and they’re valid for 5 years, so you can keep it for next time. Or, if you have a lot of cash left on it when you leave, you can get it refunded at the Metro Service Centers at Ulitsa 1905 Goda, 25 or at Staraya Basmannaya 20, Building 1.
• You can also buy silicone bracelets and keychains with built-in transport chips that you can use as a Troika card. (A Moscow Metro Fitbit!) So far, you can only get these at the Pushkinskaya metro station Live Helpdesk and souvenir shops in the Mayakovskaya and Trubnaya metro stations. The fare is the same as for the Troika card.
• You can also use Apple Pay and Samsung Pay.

Rules, spoken and unspoken

No smoking, no drinking, no filming, no littering. Photography is allowed, although it used to be banned.

Stand to the right on the escalator. Break this rule and you risk the wrath of the legendary escalator attendants. (No shenanigans on the escalators in general.)

Get out of the way. Find an empty corner to hide in when you get off a train and need to stare at your phone. Watch out getting out of the train in general; when your train doors open, people tend to appear from nowhere or from behind ornate marble columns, walking full-speed.

Always offer your seat to elderly ladies (what are you, a monster?).

An Easy Tour

This is no Metro Marathon ( 199 stations in 20 hours ). It’s an easy tour, taking in most—though not all—of the notable stations, the bulk of it going clockwise along the Circle line, with a couple of short detours. These stations are within minutes of one another, and the whole tour should take about 1-2 hours.

Start at Mayakovskaya Metro station , at the corner of Tverskaya and Garden Ring,  Triumfalnaya Square, Moskva, Russia, 125047.

1. Mayakovskaya.  Named for Russian Futurist Movement poet Vladimir Mayakovsky and an attempt to bring to life the future he imagined in his poems. (The Futurist Movement, natch, was all about a rejecting the past and celebrating all things speed, industry, modern machines, youth, modernity.) The result: an Art Deco masterpiece that won the National Grand Prix for architecture at the New York World’s Fair in 1939. It’s all smooth, rounded shine and light, and gentle arches supported by columns of dark pink marble and stainless aircraft steel. Each of its 34 ceiling niches has a mosaic. During World War II, the station was used as an air-raid shelter and, at one point, a bunker for Stalin. He gave a subdued but rousing speech here in Nov. 6, 1941 as the Nazis bombed the city above.

Take the 3/Green line one station to:

2. Belorusskaya. Opened in 1952, named after the connected Belarussky Rail Terminal, which runs trains between Moscow and Belarus. This is a light marble affair with a white, cake-like ceiling, lined with Belorussian patterns and 12 Florentine ceiling mosaics depicting life in Belarussia when it was built.

Transfer onto the 1/Brown line. Then, one stop (clockwise) t o:

3. Novoslobodskaya.  This station was designed around the stained-glass panels, which were made in Latvia, because Alexey Dushkin, the Soviet starchitect who dreamed it up (and also designed Mayakovskaya station) couldn’t find the glass and craft locally. The stained glass is the same used for Riga’s Cathedral, and the panels feature plants, flowers, members of the Soviet intelligentsia (musician, artist, architect) and geometric shapes.

Go two stops east on the 1/Circle line to:

4. Komsomolskaya. Named after the Komsomol, or the Young Communist League, this might just be peak Stalin Metro style. Underneath the hub for three regional railways, it was intended to be a grand gateway to Moscow and is today its busiest station. It has chandeliers; a yellow ceiling with Baroque embellishments; and in the main hall, a colossal red star overlaid on golden, shimmering tiles. Designer Alexey Shchusev designed it as an homage to the speech Stalin gave at Red Square on Nov. 7, 1941, in which he invoked Russia’s illustrious military leaders as a pep talk to Soviet soldiers through the first catastrophic year of the war.   The station’s eight large mosaics are of the leaders referenced in the speech, such as Alexander Nevsky, a 13th-century prince and military commander who bested German and Swedish invading armies.

One more stop clockwise to Kurskaya station,  and change onto the 3/Blue  line, and go one stop to:

5. Baumanskaya.   Opened in 1944. Named for the Bolshevik Revolutionary Nikolai Bauman , whose monument and namesake district are aboveground here. Though he seemed like a nasty piece of work (he apparently once publicly mocked a woman he had impregnated, who later hung herself), he became a Revolutionary martyr when he was killed in 1905 in a skirmish with a monarchist, who hit him on the head with part of a steel pipe. The station is in Art Deco style with atmospherically dim lighting, and a series of bronze sculptures of soldiers and homefront heroes during the War. At one end, there is a large mosaic portrait of Lenin.

Stay on that train direction one more east to:

6. Elektrozavodskaya. As you may have guessed from the name, this station is the Metro’s tribute to all thing electrical, built in 1944 and named after a nearby lightbulb factory. It has marble bas-relief sculptures of important figures in electrical engineering, and others illustrating the Soviet Union’s war-time struggles at home. The ceiling’s recurring rows of circular lamps give the station’s main tunnel a comforting glow, and a pleasing visual effect.

Double back two stops to Kurskaya station , and change back to the 1/Circle line. Sit tight for six stations to:

7. Kiyevskaya. This was the last station on the Circle line to be built, in 1954, completed under Nikita Khrushchev’ s guidance, as a tribute to his homeland, Ukraine. Its three large station halls feature images celebrating Ukraine’s contributions to the Soviet Union and Russo-Ukrainian unity, depicting musicians, textile-working, soldiers, farmers. (One hall has frescoes, one mosaics, and the third murals.) Shortly after it was completed, Khrushchev condemned the architectural excesses and unnecessary luxury of the Stalin era, which ushered in an epoch of more austere Metro stations. According to the legend at least, he timed the policy in part to ensure no Metro station built after could outshine Kiyevskaya.

Change to the 3/Blue line and go one stop west.

8. Park Pobedy. This is the deepest station on the Metro, with one of the world’s longest escalators, at 413 feet. If you stand still, the escalator ride to the surface takes about three minutes .) Opened in 2003 at Victory Park, the station celebrates two of Russia’s great military victories. Each end has a mural by Georgian artist Zurab Tsereteli, who also designed the “ Good Defeats Evil ” statue at the UN headquarters in New York. One mural depicts the Russian generals’ victory over the French in 1812 and the other, the German surrender of 1945. The latter is particularly striking; equal parts dramatic, triumphant, and gruesome. To the side, Red Army soldiers trample Nazi flags, and if you look closely there’s some blood spatter among the detail. Still, the biggest impressions here are the marble shine of the chessboard floor pattern and the pleasingly geometric effect if you view from one end to the other.

Keep going one more stop west to:

9. Slavyansky Bulvar.  One of the Metro’s youngest stations, it opened in 2008. With far higher ceilings than many other stations—which tend to have covered central tunnels on the platforms—it has an “open-air” feel (or as close to it as you can get, one hundred feet under). It’s an homage to French architect Hector Guimard, he of the Art Nouveau entrances for the Paris M é tro, and that’s precisely what this looks like: A Moscow homage to the Paris M é tro, with an additional forest theme. A Cyrillic twist on Guimard’s Metro-style lettering over the benches, furnished with t rees and branch motifs, including creeping vines as towering lamp-posts.

Stay on the 3/Blue line and double back four stations to:

10. Arbatskaya. Its first iteration, Arbatskaya-Smolenskaya station, was damaged by German bombs in 1941. It was rebuilt in 1953, and designed to double as a bomb shelter in the event of nuclear war, although unusually for stations built in the post-war phase, this one doesn’t have a war theme. It may also be one of the system’s most elegant: Baroque, but toned down a little, with red marble floors and white ceilings with gilded bronze c handeliers.

Jump back on the 3/Blue line  in the same direction and take it one more stop:

11. Ploshchad Revolyutsii (Revolution Square). Opened in 1938, and serving Red Square and the Kremlin . Its renowned central hall has marble columns flanked by 76 bronze statues of Soviet heroes: soldiers, students, farmers, athletes, writers, parents. Some of these statues’ appendages have a yellow sheen from decades of Moscow’s commuters rubbing them for good luck. Among the most popular for a superstitious walk-by rub: the snout of a frontier guard’s dog, a soldier’s gun (where the touch of millions of human hands have tapered the gun barrel into a fine, pointy blade), a baby’s foot, and a woman’s knee. (A brass rooster also sports the telltale gold sheen, though I am told that rubbing the rooster is thought to bring bad luck. )

Now take the escalator up, and get some fresh air.

Travel + Leisure

Since the arrival of spring, my mind has been consumed with non-stop thoughts of my upcoming outdoor adventures that will make the most out of the longer, warmer days. But as I learned the hard way last year, the trademark of any great trip is being prepared with excellent travel gear. Trust me, the last thing that anyone wants is to let uncomfortable athleisure hinder their enjoyment or have a flimsy tent spoil their camping trip. When it comes to exceptional outdoor gear, REI is my ultimate destination for purchasing high-quality and dependable travel essentials that are built to last.

If you've been searching for the perfect opportunity to upgrade your gear, then you're in luck, because REI also happens to be hosting an incredible (and under-the-radar) spring sale to ring in the season. With hundreds deals on top brands like Patagonia , Vuori , New Balance , Hoka , and Cotopaxi , this sale requires some diligent scrolling, so I’ve taken the time to carefully sift through them alls to curate a list of the  50 best ones, starting at just $4 ahead of all of your upcoming ventures. 

The apparel deals at REI are truly next-level. With mega discounts on the top-rated and extra stylish Outdoor Voices Doing Things Dress and Arc'teryx Men's Cormac Crew SS Shirt in Pytheas Heather , you have the chance to upgrade your wardrobe with high-quality pieces that are perfect for any adventure. And guess what? You can snag a pair of the REI Co-op Women’s Trailsmith Overalls in Washed Blue for just $27 and even get $50 off a pair of the Kuhl Men’s Renegade Rock Pants in Bedrock . We don’t know how long these deals will last, or how much longer they’ll be in stock. So if I were you, I’d get shopping.

So you’ve shopped for new camping accessories, clothes, and shoes, but what about something to carry those precious valuables in? You'll need a durable backpack, duffel, or suitcase to withstand the weight of your essentials, so that’s where REI’s deals on spacious and practical bags come in. Shoppers can score the stylish Cotopaxi Luzon Del Dia 18-liter Backpack , a roomy and sleek hiking bag for just $65 off and high-quality Eagle Creek Tarmac XE 2-Wheel 95-liter Wheeled Luggage while it's sporting an enticing $100 discount. That’s not all, as customers can also enjoy steep discounts on daypacks and hip packs for a fraction of their price. But you’ll have to act accordingly because there’s no way these bag deals will be in stock for much longer.
