    Raincoat-Poncho

    Check out the Trekker page at: http://www.ferrino.it/en/homepage/produ ... kker_ss12_ Looks to me like a S/M would do.

    Raincoat-Poncho

    The Ottawa Sail Store has 8 - 10 Ferrino Trekker Ponchos in stock. Some red, mostly blue. I got a bleu L/XL and glory be, it is made out of polyamide - same material as the "original" Altus. Same general tarpaulin-like shape but seems a tad more robust and it has splendid Velcro wrist...

    Raincoat-Poncho

    That's right... It's an In-Store item. Checked with daughter who works at the Trainyards Sail and she confirms they have the Trekker. I'll find out about sizes and inventory and post an update.

    Trekker at Sail! That's very handy to know that Sail carries the Trekker. I'll be sliding along there tomorrow. Thanks for the tip! :D

    Using 8-10 days on the C.I., how about sleeping

    Bless you for that... Very much appreciated. It's just my pace. I'll be slow rolling on the Camino Ingles!

    Raincoat-Poncho

    I wore the Atlus Rain Series Poncho in a pretty hefty downpour this afternoon. There is lots of room, the sleeves are great and the hood is nice, but its not the easiest thing to do up in a hurry and it gets damp inside quickly. The elastic cuffs can't be tightened. My guess is you'll have a...

    Using 8-10 days on the C.I., how about sleeping

    Hello Stephen! I'll be sure to post the After-Action Review and let you know how I get along. I'm not planning on breaking any records, except maybe for the longest time on the shortest Camino! This will be a very gentlemanly peregrination. I'm a Bluenoser and hence my question about rain - I...

    My daughter has offered to field-test the Altus Rain Series when/if we ever get any rain here in Fort Fumble, Ontario. I'll post the results. WP

    Using 8-10 days on the C.I., how about sleeping

    Many thanks... I've got the Spanish Met Office Web Site and will check. I'm sure there is bound to be rain. I find myself on the wrong side of the Altus Poncho discussion (I've purchased one of the 'Rain Series' models that are reported as less than satisfactory) but will move forward with what...

    Raincoat-Poncho

    Well, this is handy news indeed. Just unpacked the brand-new Altus I received from Barrabes at vast expense and there on the right side are the dreaded words "Rain Series" Not sure what to do with it now! Its big enough that if I wore Roller Blades and had a reasonable hiking stick I'm pretty...

    Using 8-10 days on the C.I., how about sleeping

    C.I. in late October I'm hoping to get to Ferrol the middle or latter part of October and walk the CI. I'll take whatever time it takes and likely not less than 6 to 8 days. Wondering if this is cutting it fine in terms of weather and/or accommodation. Any thoughts?
