3) It should be lightweight and machine or hand washable.
Packing space is going to be at a premium so you don't want a bulky garment
that will fill your suitcases to overflowing. Flat packing capability is a big
plus.
Dry cleaning facilities are few and far between in wildlife areas so a hand
or machine washable garment is essential. With any luck you won't have to wash
it before you get back from your trip but it pays to be prepared.
4) Zip off sleeves and lots of pockets are a plus.
Turning your garment into a
vest
for day use by zipping off the sleeves is a good idea. When it cools
down in the evening just zip them back on. The pockets are ideal for guidebooks,
photographic paraphernalia, snacks and anything else you can think of.
