[QUOTE="Portia1, post: 61165, member: 3565"] So much depends on when you are walking. You are planning May-June so it will be moving from warm to warmer. This is good and cuts down on what you need to plan for in the way of layers. It also means your laundry is likely to dry efficiently and effectively. Also a big plus. I took a pair of quick-dry shorts and a pair of zip-offs. I also took 2 quick-dry tees, a long sleeve quick dry shirt, and a lightweight fleece jacket and microfleece pants. I also made a sarong out of lightweight cotton. And I carried an Altus poncho and a wide brimmed hat. That way I could layer up and also get some sun protection when I needed it. I walked September into October so the weather gradually got colder and boy, did the rain fall! There were some evenings when I put on anything that wasn't hanging on the clothes line because I was chilled. As far as undergarments, I used Barely There--purchased on sale at Kohls for something like $2 a pair and took 3 at 1.1 oz each. I took two bras--both quick drying at 3 oz each. I think the major difference with sports bras over regular (which I took) is the modesty factor. The sports bras tend to be more opaque and thus a little less revealing when dressing, etc. in mixed company. There were several times when laundry either didn't get done because of arrival time or it was raining and NOTHING dried. I was very glad to have a spare dry set of panties. I hate putting on wet ones! I carried a disposable razer, Liggett shampoo bar, a small bar of Dove--it works well on my skin (used a used bar from home), and a very small tube of body lotion and chapstick. I cut a bar of Naptha soap in half with another pilgrim and used that for laundry. That's it. I am walking the Portuguese this fall and am carrying the same things I took on the French--the only thing I didn't use was my first aid kit--other than sharing the contents with others who needed compeed, etc. Needless to say, I will carry it again. Everyone's needs and wants are different. You can either start with stuff that makes you feel prepared and leave things you find you don't need behind in hiker boxes or start out and purchase for the gaps. If you are starting in SJPP, the first place you can find shops of any size is Pamplona. By then you will have a fair idea of things--what you need and don't. By Burgos, definitely! Buen Camino!
