[QUOTE="Jo Jo, post: 587348, member: 35118"] After years of walking in shorts, my wife finally convinced me that walking in long pants, long sleeves is the best way to deal with the sun (look at any agricultural worker anywhere). So for warm weather camino I carry two pairs of clothing, one quick dry nylon, one cotton. Yes, cotton. The advice against cotton is based on the fact it is dangerous in the mountains because it retains water, which, if it is cool out, can lead to hypothermia. Conversely, cotton is perfect in the desert precisely because it keeps you cooler. The mesetta counts as desert. So in the mountains on either end, I wear nylon, keeping my cotton inside my pack dry to wear in the alburgue at night. After Pamplona until Astorga, I then switch and wear the cotton for walking, and the nylon in the alburgue. I tried convertibles on my first Camino, but ended up just leaving the legs on the whole way because of the sun. So now I just go with lighter weight non-convertible pants. Some specifics. For the cotton pants, I use Kuhl Kontra Air. For the quick dry nylon look at RailRiders. I use the Cool Khakis, but I'd use the Eco-mesh if they made them in a longer inseam. For shirts, I wear the Patagonia Daily Wear (for nylon) and Patagonia Steersman (for cotton). [/QUOTE]
