I do not find this to be true for the Altus or Packa, and presumably the Ferrino. Traditional ponchos have side gaps, but a closed and zipped Altus will keep the rain off of everything down to your shins. The visor on the Altus drops over my eyes, but the one on the Packa stays above my forehead. A hat keeps it in place in either.When the rain blows sideways a poncho doesn't do much.
Great idea but how does the battery hold up?falcon269 said:The Kindle app for iPhone worked for me, and added no weight.
Thanks Falcon, I'm definitely doing this. You just saved me 232g. Much appreciated.falcon269 said:Great, at least a day. Mostly I turned it off during the day because I was not interested in receiving phone calls. I turned it on for two hours in the afternoon so family could call. The Kindle was just when relaxing. Internet access was mostly WiFi, but I had data service through Vodafone.
In the past I have used Granger wash in products for re-proofing anoraks and Nikwax for spraying a tent. Both worked well.OTH86 said:Has anyone had experience with either Nikwax or Granger products for waterproofing clothing? If so, please share your experiences - what did you waterproof and did it work???
Thanks!

They only had lime green in June! You might want to preorder one in a regular color, or wait until Pamplona.buying an altus when I get to SJPP

I'm walking my first camino in september as well.
I've been going back and forth when it comes to the rain clothes/poncho dilemma.
At the moment I'm leaning towards rain jacket and pants and a cover for my backpack. Mainly because the jacket can also be used if it's chilly/windy. The pants as well. If I bring a poncho I would still have to bring at least the jacket for when it's cold.
buen camino

I bought a sweat band for a walk with my family. They only had bright pink. The kids laughed each time they looked at me, and teased me unmercifully - but the perspiration didn't run in my eyes!They only had lime green in June!
