Your question is straightforward. You have some responses already. I would encourage you to take two technical tops, so long as they will dry quickly it doesnât matter the brand.Hello guys!
This is the first time I will ever do something of this kind! I don't know where to even begin from... But here's one question, to start with: Do I need tops & shorts from a professional camping store, or can I just wear a regular top from Forever 21, or H&M, that is of course comfortable?
Thanks in advance!
Right, thank you! So, I plan to do it in this April.You should probably be more specific in your inquiry.
What months do you plan to walk the Camino? What's your budget?
A general answer to your question would be to definitely wear synthetic, athletic tech type quick drying clothing. They are lighter, cooler, easy to hand wash and dry fast. You can get them anywhere these days and if on a budget you don't have to buy the expensive brands. I've found almost no difference in quality based on price for tech t-shirts.

The clothes youâll be walking in the next day. If you donât like that idea⊠Knickers and a cotton T-shirt? Depends what season youâre walking in, reallywhat do people use as sleep wear? I will be staying in albergues.
Interesting, what is your evening/night outfit? ThanksI have a walking outfit, and I have an evening/night outfit. The evening/night outfit can be worn out for dinner and is also comfortable enough to sleep in. This way I have a cleanish outfit to sleep in, and a dirtyish outfit for walking, and I just wash them when necessary.
Yes, that is my layering system. Multi-use allows me to carry a down sleeping bag under my medieval court costume. The skirt can be converted to an emergency shelter for 3 people, using walking poles as supports.Avatar suggests it's hoops and petticoats
Most recently I have used light/medium weight merino sweat pants, but it could be any comfortable pants. For tops, I have a t-shirt, medium weight merino zip cardigan, a down vest, and a silk scarf. I would rarely use those for walking, but they could be added if I got a patch of unusually cold days.what is your evening/night outfit?
Taking them off a sweaty body, or putting them on a damp body in a tiny shower cubicle is no easy feat either!I also brought sports bras that go on overhead, but those were really not good in an albergue, especially the jumping up and down and tugging part, lol
So true! I was wondering how @C clearly manages with her hoop and petticoat in those cubicles.Taking them off a sweaty body, or putting them on a damp body in a tiny shower cubicle is no easy feat either!
Most people sleep in what they will be wearing the next day. Me? I have a very light pair of silk yoga pants that I wear in the evenings and to sleep (unless it is so warm I sleep in my shorts). Then I have 3 t-shirts and whichever one is clean I wear to sleep in and then walk in the next day. So really - I just change my bottoms and go. No point in dressing in clean clothes in the morning - you will just be walking and getting them dirty anyway! Save the clean clothes for after your afternoon shower when you check into the albergue.what do people use as sleep wear? I will be staying in albergues.
The top layer of skirt can be flipped up over my head to cover my eyes, so I can't see anyone while I am changing my clothes in the albergue, so I don't even need to use a cubicle.So true! I was wondering how @C clearly manages with her hoop and petticoat in those cubicles.
I think it is just a fancy MacabiThe top layer of skirt can be flipped up over my head to cover my eyes, so I can't see anyone while I am changing my clothes in the albergue, so I don't even need to use a cubicle.
