    Sun Sleeves?

    For me they are because I use them with merino short sleeve t-shirts ( I have tried, but don’t like, the tech fabric shirts) The sleeves just roll down when I stop for a break or am walking in the shade . They don’t slip down - I do get a new pair each Camino. ——- As an Australian who was...

    Sun Sleeves?

    I have used them on all my caminos. Initially I bought them from a golfing shop and paired them with fingerless SunSmart gloves but this year I bought them from Uniqlo for about half the price - they are very cool, fit snuggly but not uncomfortable and have thumb holes so keep the sun off my...

    Quiet pole tips?

    One of my Z-poles developed a clicking noise and it was driving me crazy until I realised it was at the point where the pole was meeting the pop out button ( they have done a lot of kms and were obviously a bit loose). I solved the problem with a very fat and robust elastic band rolled into...

    Thank you for the reply- I have your route specific apps and the offline maps are very helpful. Saved me a couple of times on the Norte.

    ALTUS PONCHO

    Used my Altus in April and May and loved it. It was pretty cool then so not too sweaty but when I did get warm I used the Velcro fasteners only and undid the zip - much better ventilation. I’m short so it kept my legs pretty dry to mid calf dry - no need for waterproof trousers.
