[QUOTE="MichaelC, post: 1110703, member: 41673"] I usually walk or bike to work (5 km each way), and it's been raining a lot this month, so I've had a chance to test out my kit for my spring camino. I scoured a lot of those "ten best xxx of 2023" lists to find what I was looking for. I'm curious to hear what others are finding. [U]Mountain Hardwear Stretch Ozonic Jacket[/U] - I like rain jackets more than ponchos. This was a splurge, but I've already been wearing it most days. It's super comfortable, very light, and stylish enough that I can wear it out on the streets. The zippers for the pockets are next to the zippers for the side vents, so I have to be careful not to put my keys into the open vent. The only negative is that the hood has a strange cut, and there's a visor built in to it. When I put the hood on the visor flops down over my eyes, making it worthless. Overall, worth the investment. [U]Mountain Hardwear Stretch Ozonic Pants[/U] - I was so impressed with Mountain Hardwear's jacket that I got their pants. They are much more comfortable than the cheap budget pair of rain pants I brought last camino, and I like that they have good pockets. These were often listed as the best [I]budget[/I] option on hiking websites, but they're still expensive and I'm not sure they were worth the extra cost. [U]Fjallraven Abisko Summer Hat[/U] - I got this for the beach, not the camino, but I like it enough that it's coming with me! It has a wide brim, it's light weight, I can toss it in my pack without ruining it, and ... surprisingly ... it keeps my head dry in the rain. [U]Merrell Moab 3 waterproof hiking shoes[/U] - I liked my Hoku hiking boots, but I'll give hiking shoes a try this round. So far I like them a lot. I've only done one hike in them, and they had a decent grip on a rough trail. I still prefer boots for muddy and rugged trails, but these are nicer for tarmac and improved trails. I've stayed very dry walking with the above combo! I liked having my trekking umbrella last time, but it was one more thing to fiddle with. I don't know if I'll bring one this time. [/QUOTE]
