    These comments are really helpful. I would rather be a bit on the warm side than the cold. I am still collecting everything for the kit. I think it will be included. It's very light weight.

    At the higher points along the route and early mornings/late evenings, it may be cool. Given that you can find puffers in the range of 8-10ozs that compress down to the size of a grapefruit, not a terrible idea for added comfort.

    Yes, buy poles in SJPP. The last time we checked our poles in their own container, they did not arrive on our flight with us into SdC. The problem that caused, is that we were busing up to Ferrol that evening. We would have been without poles...

    I’m a layering advocate. Earlier this year i wore a base layer (long or short sleeve), a light fleece pullover, a heavier zip up fleece jacket and used my rain jacket for wind/rain protection . Over 47 days I wore all or combinations of those...
