Where can I buy an Altus Poncho in either Madrid or Leon?

Thanks in advance.
 
Know before you go
Learn proper bathroom protocol on the Camino and share this info with other pilgrims.
Both cities have a decathalon store....not sure about altus specifically but definitely have options

That link is just a link to google maps showing sporting goods stores in Leon.

That link is to the previous thread to where the question was asked. The reply by @Susan Peacock linked to the Armeria Castro Deportes y tienda Peregrino (la Rua).in Leon.
The images have an Altus Poncho (or very similar) on a Mannequin on its website.
That was the question asked originally regarding Leon and my previous post should be satisfactory for both Madrid and Leon depending on where the OP chooses.
Edit: The store at Leon is even on the Camino Frances route with the directional sign on the outside.

Try this for el corte ingles.

Yes, it appears that El Corte Inglés does carry the Altus. You would probably have to contact the particular store to see if it's in stock. Perhaps it can be ordered in advance with store pickup.

 
Well there is a store in Leon and four in Madrid so I figure the question is now answered.

Decathlon does not sell Altus. They have a similar raincoat/poncho, but it's heavier.

Good to know the difference in weight since all Altus style ponchos are not created equal. If I am ever in the market for one, I will def steer clear of Decathlon's model. Thanks for saying.

{sorry not sure how to make this smaller}

Check out these guys on IG.
They are out of Spain but ship worldwide
Why not order online and let them ship to you?
What if you pay in advance and get to a store and there is a mix-up and no Poncho for you?
The H30 /newest version- is lightweight and had comes with a compression packing bag-
It’s important to consider the Poncho weight in your backpack right?
Buy it now.. I just bought mine for $45 + $12 in shipping… Shipping takes two weeks.
Easy peasy - Done.
What else can we help you with ?
When are you doing your Camino?

Ah, if you're going to do that sort of thing just go to Amazinggod - you'll only reduce the life of the planet by a couple more nano-seconds.

Shop Local!!!

For me… I’m in the USA -{as I believe the OP is too}—no local distributors here.
If we want the “true Altus Poncho”- and not an unproven/inferior “knockoff”- online ordering is our only option.
Were you trying to say Amazon/Amazinggod?
{If you were— Amazon only sells knock off versions.}
I’d rather support the “Original inventor” of a Product and not a “knockoff version”
Altus has a good reputation, and is recognized for a quality product

Yes, I noticed this morning that when I searched for Altus Poncho that Trekkinn comes up as a vendor that ships to the US and other countries.

Altus Atmospheric H30 Poncho Yellow | Trekkinn

Buy Altus Atmospheric H30 Poncho - Yellow, Rain ponchos from Men´s clothing for only 0 $. Find outdoor deals in Trekkinn | Fast delivery

AND it had a 21% discount … so even tho we are paying $12 for shipping… it still is the “regular Altus poncho price of about $60/€60”
I’ve already ordered 3 different rain coats to try and return (Thank you REI and Hard Mountain for reasonable return policies )
Whooo-hoo… Happy Dance “Wet/Rain gear shopping” is done

Visa, never encountered any issues with the transaction and the Altus turned up within a couple of weeks
 
Thanks, just placed my order. My first Camino in October, flying into Madrid and take the train to Leon and walk from Leon to Santiago. Then God-willing do the 1st part another time. Its been on my bucket list for 10 years and finally getting the opportunity at 65 yrs old. Hope to have many more Caminos to come.

Thanks to all who replied. Buen Camino.
 
The Altus poncho is not magic!

I would not buy *any* gear, especially rain gear, that I had not previously tested at home in the rain.
