Altus rain jacket

[AussieJan]

just wondering if there is anywhere in Australia to buy an Altus raincoat, or something very similar? Waterproof, lightweight etc...

Here's the link

http://www.peregrinoteca.com/tienda/poncho-altus-atmospheric-nylon-verde-p-8241.html

I think you can order from Amazon as well.

Thanks heaps - will check it out!

I got mine through peregrinoteca as well, although postage to Australia cost nearly as much as the Altus!

Be brave. Life is joyous.

I didn't find a great "Sports store until Borgos" but I started in Pamplona.

I tried and couldn't. I'm on the Camino now and wouldn't be without my Altus poncho.

Hey there AussieJan, just saw your post from last year. Did you end up getting an Altus poncho and did it work for you? I'll be going in 10 weeks time and am researching ponchos etc and would love to hear how it went for you.
Cheers

I remember seeing a post by Kanga saying she got hers in St Jean. Could have been an old thread. Maybe you could pm her.

I also read somewhere recently that Altus may have changed the forumla and the new poncho's aren't too effective? Did I imagine this or have others found this recently?

If so, I'm going to look at the Ferrino http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ferrino-Trekker-Ripstop-Verde-x/dp/B00594688A/ref=sr_1_1?s=sports&ie=UTF8&qid=1452099181&sr=1-1&keywords=ferrino+poncho

I love my Ferrino to bits, but only in the cold season, otherwise it quickly becomes a sauna. Buen Camino, SY
