Are they sure they want 'Altus' ponchos? If they are sure that they will walk the camino many times in rain, or hiking lengthy hikes in wet conditions,they may be worthwhile. I had a borrowed one that was wonderful if heavy but on researching on ebay, there is a company from Hong Kong/China which sell knock offs with free delivery worldwide for less than 20 euros!
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

Hello @Margaret Hine and welcome to the forum. I think the poncho mentioned by @kevhan84 has already been posted to @Anniesantiago - they are both in the US.
I have found that for Australians the only way to get an Altus is to wait until you are in Spain or St Jean Pied de Port. Tigger mentions knock-offs on eBay but does not provide any links and I am extremely doubtful - I've been researching these for years. I do not believe they would be the same. There is also a seller supposedly from the UK but when I clicked on the reviews it is a scam - articles not received, no refunds, not the real thing. Beware!
If you are going through Madrid there is a shop that sells them (it is in the centre and easy to find) -

Who actually makes them. No info forthcoming on the net your right
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

@Margaret Hine they are made by Altus, a Spanish company (supplier to the Spanish Army). You should be able to buy one in Sarria, I have seen posts in the forum with shops - I'll look.

You can purchase them in SJPP, in Zubiri, in Pamplona, and in Sarria for sure.
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
