Altus rain poncho weight

[konnie]

Hi all, I’m calculating the weight of my backpack. When I get to Spain I plan to buy an Altus rain poncho. I used one years ago on Le Puy. Could anyone give me the weight? Thanks!

Hi,

On my lovely kitchen scale: 340 grams for the small one

The website for the Caminoteca store in Pamplona lists dimensions and weights of the Altus ponchos that they sell.

One of the most important things on the Camino is the protection against the rain. If your raingear is not perfect, all your stuff can get wet easily during a long rainstorm. A rain jacket, backpack and waterproof trousers combo seems to be a strong solution, but the backpack cover won't protect...

Kitchen scales come in handy! Thanks

I found it the only thing to keep me and my pack dry when the rain was lashing down.

I have a large one and it weighs 7.1 ounces on my kitchen scale.

Where can I purchase a Altus poncho I’m from US and Amazon does not list that brand

Only place I can find them online is Caminoteca, but their description says 2020 model. Did Altus go out of business? (I can't find a company web site anywhere.) And I can't seem to order anything from the Caminoteca web site. I'm guessing because I'm in the United States.

The place I originally ordered mine was deporvillage.net. They don't carry them anymore.

I just sent Caminoteca a message to see how I can order one to the US. They got my message, but I have not heard back yet. I’ll let you know if I hear back..
