The start and end of the year are always highly anticipated by Singaporeans eager to escape the sweltering Lion City heat and embrace a cool-weather getaway.
If you’re one of the lucky ones heading somewhere where the temperature won’t creep above 20°C, it’s time to start prepping for that chilly adventure.
Whether you’re planning a solo trip, hanging out with friends, enjoying precious family moments, or taking romantic winter strolls, having the right gear is key to staying warm and comfy — and you’ll definitely need a sturdy suitcase to fit all those winter essentials.
Good news: the Universal Traveller Winter Wear and Luggage Mega Expo Sale is just around the corner, running from 11 to 13 Oct.

With discounts of up to 80% on travel essentials such as jackets, thermal wear, sweaters, and suitcases, you’ll be all set for your trip in one go.
The key to keeping toasty in frigid conditions is all about layering, layering, layering.

First, start with thermal wear, which retains body heat and prevents warmth from escaping. Then, throw on a fleece jacket or wool sweater for additional insulation (and to nail that holiday #fitcheck), followed by a sturdy coat or parka that’s preferably wind- and waterproof.
At the Universal Traveller Expo Sale, you’ll find thermal wear that can withstand temperatures as low as -20°C starting from just S$15.
Fleece jackets and fluffy sweaters, usually priced from S$79, will also see prices slashed to S$12.90 and S$19 respectively.

Finish off your look with a cosy padded jacket for just S$29 (down from S$198) or grab a stylish down feather jacket at S$39 (normally S$199).

Both options are super warm and comfy, giving you that snug feel while being lightweight and ready to tackle whatever the weather throws at you.
While your favourite sneakers might work for autumn or spring, you’ll definitely need something tougher if you’re off to a snowy destination.
Winter boots are perfect for the job because they’re waterproof and designed to trap heat, ensuring your feet stay warm and dry.

Plus, many have soles with excellent traction to help prevent those dreaded slips and falls on icy surfaces. You can score a variety of stylish winter boots at the Universal Traveller Expo Sale, starting at just S$39 a pair (usually S$59).
And don’t forget about the winter accessories — they might be small, but they’re super important. We’re talking gloves, ear muffs, scarves, hats, and wool socks, all available from just S$3.90 at the sale.

While you’re at it, make sure to check out the wide selection of luggage to pack all your new winter gear, priced from S$39 (normally S$164).
Whether you need a sturdy suitcase or a stylish duffel bag, you’ll find great options to keep your travel game strong and your belongings safe and organised.
