[QUOTE="Bogong, post: 1183156, member: 33223"] Iwalked late winter and it snowed, sleeted, rained, hailed and blew most of the way. I wore a heavy duty goretex jacket and was soaked through except when it sowed. It was my third gortetex jacket all of which leaked like seives. This one leaked where the pack straps bore on it and they also wore through both layers of the inner lining on my shoulders. So I would recommend a poncho although I don’t know much about them. But several people I saw going up to Roncesvalles had them shredded in the wind so try to get one with a drawstring around the bottom. Remember too if you wear a jacket, whatever type, and you’re working hard and perspiring you’re goingg to get wet inside the jacket from sweat. Even goretex which in my opinion is massively overhyped and priced. As for me, I’m persisting with my latest goretex jacket which I bought virtually new at an op shop for 20 bucks.
