Hello, I'll be walking Frances in October starting from SJPdP. It's my first time walking. My backpack is now 7.5kg all included but I'm looking to reduce weight. I'm looking for advice re: clothing. Based on my research, I should expect all types of weather, starting with higher temperatures and then colder and more rain. Do you think I can reduce anything from the below? Many thanks in advance!
1x Rain poncho
1x 3-in-1 Jacket (rainproof outer jacket with an insulated puffer jacket) -> Can I drop one of these e.g. just keep the puffer?
1x Fleece jacket (mid warm)
1x Merino long sleeve 260 -> Should I drop this one as it's a very warm layer, and replace with another long sleeve (I don't have more merino but have a functional / sports long sleeve similar to merino 150/200)
1x Merino long sleeve 150
2x T-shirt (not merino but quick dry; also for sleeping)
1x Zipper hiking pants -> Do I need rain pants in addition? (I didn't plan, but these are fairly light pants)
1x Thermal leggings
1x Merino-blend capri pants (for after hike and for sleeping)
3x Merino socks
3x Underwear
1x Brimmed hat for rain and sun protection
1x Merino buff
1x Wool head band -> Should I pack a beanie instead?
1x Gloves
1x Hiking shoes
1x Hiking sandals
1x Flip flops
1x Rain poncho
