[QUOTE="henrythedog, post: 772872, member: 65118"] I walk throughout the year in the north of England which is similar to Galicia in autumn and winter (although with significantly less pulpo) I habitually wear gaiters and boots, but avoid waterproof trousers unless the weather is truly dire. I sometimes say that I only ever wear them when walking downhill as - if it’s ever so wet as to need them, I’m heading for cover. I usually end up as wet inside them as if I’d not bothered! I second the view above that trail shoes in wet weather will almost inevitably result in wet feet - but it’s a personal choice. My own choice would be boots, gaiters and shorts. Wet legs dry faster than wet cloth. I’ve never been comfortable with a poncho, preferring a fairly long waterproof coat. I accept that very many others have a different opinion. It’s personal choice - at least you had the good fortune to meet a salesperson who actively tried to not sell you something! [/QUOTE]
