- Neither rolling nor folding is definitively superior for saving space, as rolled clothes tend to have a larger footprint while folded clothes take up more vertical space.
- For quick packing and fewer wrinkles, folding is recommended.
- Rolling allows you to see all your garments at a glance, making it easier to find items without disturbing others.
- We suggest rolling softer, less bulky garments like underwear and t-shirts, and folding stiffer items such as dress shirts, khakis, and skirts.
- The “ranger roll” method, a military technique, can save more space than standard rolling, especially for lightweight clothes in tight spaces like a backpack, though it can be more time-consuming and may cause more wrinkles. (NYT)
