Where to buy Altus Poncho

[kdtorrez]

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

Thanks in advance.

 

[jgiesbrecht]

Both cities have a decathalon store....not sure about altus specifically but definitely have options

You asked the same question in March.
The reply answered your question in Leon.

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

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

Barrebes in Madrid is another choice.

Edit: El Corte Ingles also has Altus Ponchos on their website.

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.

You searched for Atlas poncho, not Altus poncho (possibly an autocorrect error.) The results that you got probably meant that those stores carry either atlases or ponchos.

 

[Bristle Boy]

Try this for El Corte Ingles.

Edit: yes was a misplaced T that predicted the text.

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.

 

[Tincatinker]

You could also try Altus' website and store-locator https://wearealtus.com/es/tiendas though it appears to be as user friendly as earlier iterations of RENFE

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?

 

[Tincatinker]

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

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

Caminoteca in Pamplona also carries them.

There was a fellow Pilgrim that posted a photo of the CaminoTec store there other day…. I wanted to DM her and ask her to buy me a H30/Altus ponchoand ship it to me…

 

[Nomaddeb]

I order one from Caminotec in April this year, they shipped it to Australia

Visa, never encountered any issues with the transaction and the Altus turned up within a couple of weeks

 

[kdtorrez]

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.
