I live in Australia and will be beginning my next Camino in Lisbon around 19 April. I'm trying to get a specific kind of backpack for the journey, ideally like the the ULA Camino 2 (http://www.ula-equipment.com/product_p/panel-loader-with-top-collar.htm) or similar. Is there anywhere is Lisbon that stocks such backpacks? The features I'm looking for are: about 50 litre capacity, under 2kg weight, with full front open zip, and generous side mesh pockets. Many thanks.

There are a few Decathlon stores in Lisbon. Take a look at theor website and see if there is anything you might like. Considering how important fit is limiting yourself to what you may be able to find in one store seems risky to me.

Thanks for that information. Yes, I can appreciate that it's risky hoping to buy something as important as a pack just before I begin walking. I actually have a pretty decent pack which I'll be bringing for the walk, but it doesn't quite have the features I'd like, so I'm just wondering if there might be other options in Lisbon if necessary.
