    Altus Poncho Observations

    I recently bought an Altus Atmospheric poncho and wanted to give my observations on this fine product. I ordered it on Amazon U.K. (England) and had it shipped to Sacramento CA which took four days with the more expensive fast shipping. I ordered the largest size available which is exlg/2exlg...

    Altus poncho

    I am getting ready to order an Altus poncho and am undecided on the size...either an XS or S/M. I an 5'2" 120 lbs and usually wear an XS. How do these sizes run? According to their measurements, the XS would fall just below my knees. I don't want to be swimming in it!

    Help with an Altus Poncho

    My husband and I are planning our first camino on the CF in September 2015. I've read many things about the Altus poncho and decided this was the poncho for me. I contacted Barrabes because all they had in stock was XS. I'm almost 5"10 and the length is too short. Barrabes said they would...

    ALTUS PONCHO

    Tried my rain gear today in a training walk. Pack cover and pants worked well, but was not happy with the Cabela's gortex jacket. For those of you who have walked using the Altus Poncho, were you happy with it? Did you perspire much with it on? Is this the best poncho option or is there...

    Starting a new Altus poncho thread

    Having just discovered the fatal flaw to my Ferrino trekker poncho (its inside reflective lining makes me sweat almost instantaneously since I walk in spring-summer -- thanks to SYates!), I realize I need to get an Altus quickly. Looking at products, though, I think I see there are several...

    Altus Poncho tips and tricks.

    I recently bought an Altus Poncho it's the newer kind so no velcro on the cuffs. I watched Anniesantiago13 talk about why she loved her Altus. Now like Annie said she is 5ft 3, ( I am 5ft 0) and one of the reasons she love's the Altus so much is because it almost reaches her ankles so no need...

    My sister and I are very excited about the prospect of walking the Camino Frances in September/October this year and are very busy getting fit and organized. I have heard often on this forum that the Altus Poncho is the best option for rainy days, but I'm having trouble finding one. Even the...

    Poncho quandary — Altus, Frogg Toggs, Vaude, or something else?

    On my last camino, I used the Decathlon rain poncho that I bought in Lisbon. It was cheap, and you get what you pay for. After washing it, the taping is all coming off. So back to square one. Most of the recent forum discussion focuses on the debate between poncho and rain jackets. I did see...

    Two questions I need help with. I am 5' 10" and 180lbs. I bought a Rick Steeves poncho which lasted for one wind and rain storm in Mobile and was destroyed...I then remembered some earlier advice about getting the good stuff.( no offense, Rick but your poncho is not the good stuff) What size in...

    Best Poncho in the Universe

    Hi all. I have been using an Altus poncho for years. I prefer a poncho to a waterproof coat as when walking one generates heat and if enclosed in a coat, sweat, so I like the circulating air under a poncho (and the dry hands). Though one does have to wear a peaked cap with those hoods! So - my...

    Altus poncho modification ...

    ... I know. Sacrilege. But - I went into the Norwegian woods for a trial St Olav pilgrimage with my friend. I have a spare Altus, which I lent to her to try thinking she would love it and have time to buy one before our big adventure next year. She normally uses a Helsport poncho, which is like...

    Hiking dresses?

    I had what I think is a brilliant idea. I was thinking about sleepwear for the Camino, and I normally like to sleep in a tank top type short knit gown. Then I thought about what I like wearing in the summer during the day, which is a short tank top style dress, and thought, why not just bring...

    Altus Poncho--USA?

    Anyone have an Altus in the USA they are willing to sell? My husband will be accompanying me on the Camino Portuguese next fall and am looking for another one. Thanks! Shipping from Spain is outrageous--more than the cost of the poncho!

    Hi everyone, I'm walking the Camino in October 2013, starting from Pamplona, and I'm having a really hard time trying to figure out my packing list when it comes to staying warm. I had planned on bringing a very warm and thick fleece (the northface windwall -...
