Hi Sue, because you asked for alternatives in case you can’t find the Altus poncho, here’s an article on rain jackets for women.Looking for any suggestions for where I might purchase a size small Altus poncho. I live in the U.S. and two years ago purchased mine on-line from a shop in Pamploma, and am looking to purchase another one. It seems they are sold out everywhere I look. Given that my search has come up empty, I'd then appreciate any suggestions for an alternative - a poncho with sleeves, a zipper, a hood and large enough to cover pack and at least knee length. Not too much to ask?!
Thanks, as always, for your collective knowledge of all things Camino!

I wish I’d taken a rain jacket instead of a poncho. Because you can use a rain jacket as a windbreaker you get so much more use out of it. I had to buy one anyway in the end and barely used by (heavy) Altus ponchoHi Sue, because you asked for alternatives in case you can’t find the Altus poncho, here’s an article on rain jackets for women.

Rain jacket or poncho? A personal preference issue. For me, I’m most comfortable with a good quality rain jacket and a waterproof pack cover. Good luck in your search. Buen Camino!
My experience has been similar. The amount of condensation you’ll get inside an Altus or any rain jacket or poncho has to do with how much ventilation there is and how much you perspire, which has to do with the shape you’re in and your walking pace. Slower pace and less sweating means less perspiration.Honestly, I found my Altus poncho to be a sweatsuit during my April/May Camino Primitivo.

Indeed they do currently have some in stock in size Small only.tradeinn.com has Altus Atmospheric H30 ponchos on sale for $44.00
Heads up to anyone buying a Ferrino. I bought the Trekker about 10 or 12 years ago for use on the Levante. Fortunately, we only had one day of rain, but no sooner did I put it on than I started to sweat. I was wondering why there was so much more condensation inside than in my original Altus, which had bitten the dust a year earlier.The Ferrino Cloak Rando is a very similar design to the Altus Atmospheric poncho.
I just purchased a Ferrino rain cape from Amazon
Or perhaps a bright red.I hope the new Altus ponchos that come in the fall are in vibrant, lurid, fluorescent colours!
yes i just did my camino in May and i baught mine form Trekkin and slow but perfect delivery and the poncho was greatThank you for the suggestion and the resource of TrekkInn. Anyone out there have first hand experience with this poncho?
Buen Camino!
Bright red, vibrant orange, and fluorescent yellow would be great! Also purple!Or perhaps a bright red.
My go to store. Purchased my Stratos 36L, 100 dollars cheaper than New Zealand even with the freight included!When I saw @ivar last month he told me that he hasn't been able to get any, and TrekkInn, where a friend brought hers shows them unavailable.
TrekkInn does have this similar raincoat/poncho, but they don't list the weight.

Exactly. Comes into its own in cold, rain, and wind. Quick to get into; just turn into the wind, hold it by the neck, flick it upwards, and the wind carries it back over you, slip your arms, in and you're almost finished. Body, head, and backpack in the cocoon in a jiffy. I understand that it doesn't work for others who have much experience. We find it light, and hard to do without.Yes, it is a sweatbox in summer, but so glad I had mine last winter in rainy Galicia!
