Poncho - Leon?

[Undermanager]

And another attempt looms, to buy a decent Poncho after trying and failing in the previous two likely towns.

Anyone know where an Altos or similar might be bought in Leon, please?

Decathlon.

I wasn't impressed by my own Altus poncho. It was like a sweatsuit. Decathlon's MT900 poncho at least has pit zips and adjustable cuffs, which the Altus doesn't have.

I went to 3 Decathlons in Madrid looking for that poncho for a friend and they didn't offer it in the poncho section. I wonder if it was in the women's section or only available in the UK?

Try Armeria Castro Deportes y tienda Peregrino. Friends bought Altus ponchos there. It's a great shop!

The smaller Decathlon "City" stores don't have nearly as many products as the larger stores, so that could have been the issue. You can use the Decathlon website to check the availability of a product at a particular store. It's also useful to take a screenshot of the product to show the employees what you are looking for.

I checked the stock in the León store on the decathlon.es site before I replied to Undermanager.

The poncho is stocked alongside waterproof rucksack covers and the like.

yes you are correct. I bought one there in April. At the time they weren’t on display but had them when I asked. They may have just been received.

Just up the street from the albergue convent...

Thanks for the help. I went to the excellent Armerio Castro shop in the centre. They are clearly knowledgeable and have anything you need, hiking-related. I'm now the proud owner of a blue XL Altro H30. The only problem now is the damned weather forecast - it's sun for the next 10 days so can't test it out (but I can carry it) ....

They also make great picnic (or nap) blankets
