Chemin du Puy 2022
Hi, I'm walking the Camino Frances in May this year and would like to buy an altus poncho, size M-L. I've checked the posts and most are from 2017 so likely those were sold. Just wondering if anyone has one to sell. Otherwise, I'll hope to buy one in SJPDP.
Thanks.

The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Amazon have them. And i have seen them in SJPDP
 
I am an American and I bought one online at a store in Madrid. This was 6
Years ago so I am sure things may have changed. At that time there was no outlets in the States that carried Altus. My Spanish isn’t that good but I had no problems. Sorry I don’t remember the store I bought it at but it was easy. I want to the store the day after I arrived. Showed them the receipt and walked out 2 minutes later with my pancho. I remember seeing it at a shop by the Pilgrim office in St.
Jean and the same pancho was ALOT more money.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

Thanks @It56ny. I'll likely end up buying one at SJPDP because I fly into Paris. I just thought someone might have one for sale that I could buy before hand.
 
I can't predict the weather it may rain a lot, but 2 years ago i walked end of April to middle of June. It rained 3 times. I took a couple of those plastic bag type ponchos that people use at festivals. Dirt cheap and they fit over a backpack.

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Just for information, if you don't find one in St Jean, there is a good pilgrim shop in Pamplona too.

Thanks @kayagee66. I think I want something a bit more substantial, even though I'll need to pay a bit more.

Judy, if your interested in a Black L/XL Altus, worn over 4 rainy days in 2013, and in fabulous condition (as new, no rips etc...) I’d be happy to sell for $50 + $20 AUD Shipping - total $56 US. Just PM me to arrange. I’m only 5’8” but I found a L/XL to be a better fit when accounting for covering my pack.

Either way Buen Camino!
 
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.

€46,-

Thanks, @Consigliere, but I'm sure a L/XL would be too big for me.
