    Altus Poncho/Rain Coat

    Loved my Altus poncho last week on a very rainy Camino. No need for a pack cover. In between rain events I just tucked the sleeves under my backpack straps and wore it like a cape over my backpack.

    Camino Portugues during Holy Week 2024

    You should always carry rain gear on the Camino - Galicia is green for a reason! 🌦️ I would recommend the Altus poncho/raincoat, which will cover both you and your backpack. You can check albergue opening dates on Gronze.com. It's only in Spanish, but if you use the Chrome browser it will...

    Altus poncho and pack cover?

    I will be doing the CF in mid-Sept - Oct and will have the Altus rain poncho. Do I also need to take the rain cover that came with my Osprey backpack? Thanks!

    Rain gear on Ingles in beginning October

    The Decathalon Quechua MT900 looks great. Everything the Altus has and more. I’d love to try it myself but it’s not available in the US.

    Waterproof Jacket/Coat

    I take an ALTUS poncho on every Camino. I buy the XL even though I'm only 5'3" because it nearly goes to my ankles and even keeps my feet dry. It also unzips all the way down so I can vent it. In addition, it hangs quite nicely off my pack for those days the rain starts, stops, starts, stops. I...

    These are travel hacks I typically bring. What are some of your travel hacks? I'm targeting the beginning of Fall.

    hahaha -- Safety pins to hang up clothes or pin to my pack -- great idea. You use Crocs -- laughing hard.

    Weather in early may

    I've started from SJPP many times in May. I've seen sun, clouds, rain, fog, 70kph winds, snow, and sleet. That said, I've been fine with a lightweight puff jacket, layered clothing and a good hat. Once I start walking I'm usually peeling off layers within 15 minutes. I would definitely take...

    Altus Poncho/Rain Coat

    When I searched for "rain" on the Altus site, all that I can find is the H30. Where are you seeing the S3? https://wearealtus.com/en/index.php?fc=module&module=leoproductsearch&controller=productsearch&leoproductsearch_static_token=7ba8ec62cc3407dc6e46a185f7964c45&search_query=rain&cate=

    Poncho - Leon?

    Try Armeria Castro Deportes y tienda Peregrino. Friends bought Altus ponchos there. It's a great shop! Address: C. la Rúa, 7, 24003 León, Spain Phone: +34 987 25 70 20

    Would it be overkill to bring both a rain jacket and the Altus poncho in Oct/Nov?

    I have also found the Patagonia Houdini and poncho to be a great combo ... lots of layering flexibility. The Houdini weighs very little (3.4 oz). They'll both be in my pack again when I head out in September.

    Cool and fun tools (gift for mom)

    I would get her the Altus raincoat/poncho. It's a great lightweight alternative to a traditional poncho. https://www.santiagodecompostela.me/en-us/products/altus-poncho-atmospheric-h30?_pos=1&_sid=d9195864b&_ss=r

    Altus products in forum store?

    Altus "day" pack on Amazon says 2 kilograms (not a backpack) Best part of Altus poncho to me is the zipper!

    Altus products in forum store?

    Altus Poncho. We had a hard time finding for my husband. He's staying very dry right now. Monday arriving in Santiago!

    Rain...rain pants?

    The Decathlon poncho is a good budget friendly option as well. It has a half zip, not full, but does have full sleeves. I found it very easy to get into while on the go. At $35 Canadian it is a steal!

    Is a pack liner a good idea or nah?

    After walking in several downpours with my pack cover and a rain coat, I tend to agree with @trecile. Also, as @naplesdon suggests walking in the rain may not be for everyone. However, it is sometimes unavoidable. My first years on the Camino in summer it rained only once for about 15 minutes...

    The Packa vs Altus Poncho

    OK, I have a good Gortex raincoat and rainpants and I also have an Altus poncho. When I am not wearing a pack the raincoat is best for me. More pockets and easier to manage. I didn't need rain pants. After only one or two tries with the Altus poncho I was able to don and duff after a little...

    Best spots to buy camino gear in London?

    I wear my ‘normal’ dog-walking clothes on Camino - cargo-style shorts and long pants with plenty of pockets and cheap tee shirts, plus a much-loved Altus poncho, probably the only piece of actual gear I’ve bought. I wear Brooks Cascadia trail running shoes pretty much all the time so no change...
