I stayed in 4 Albergues with the pool on Frances. There are plenty more. Tell your daughter to bring her swimwear and enjoy the dips. Totally refreshing and vigorating after a hot day's walk.
Buen Camino
60L IMHO is too big. Folks go with 30 or even a tad lower. I had 35L and that was plenty.
Take the advice above and ho to a store where you can try some on for a good fit
Good luck and Buen Camino
Product Size 64 x 93.5 x 65.5mm Weight 99g
Does not look like you can get refillable beads so once the 200 washes are done - time to buy a new Grenade
I dont know... less than 100g - thats negligible IMHO and on a Camino of say 6 weeks (which on Frances is a good stretch) at even 2...
Laundry Masher - Hmmm... on one hand may come very handy. on the other not sure we'll be able to make it through the plane security with that Grenade-looking contraption
From Gregory website:
Gregory Zulu 35 - 24 x 12.25 x 9.5 inches = 45.75 inches (as per below)

Most of the times I...
WOW! Never had any of those and I've been to France, Camino Frances w\Finisterre & Madrid extension, Canada, Italy & Barcelona to name few places. Use my data a lot esp when it comes to my FindPenguins
never ogt any of these messages.
(Kinda hope that it is not something 'new' because, yes, that...
IMHO it is too big by overall dimensions (my wife's Jade 28 is a tad large as well but I feel we'll be able to get it through)
That Said I was checking mine in anyways because of the poles.
When I walked in 2022 a lot of albergues were giving away free (of course small donation was always welcome) bags that one could scrounge up into a very small ball (if you will) and hardly took a space at all
I got me a couple and just stuffed them into the backpack belt's side pockets.
Hope...
Any small retail store will have them. Lots of members referred to chino shops. The store owners do understand "travel adaptor". I got one in Puente la Reina when mine got accidentally wet and all USB ports shortened out (the only thing i was able to use after it dried out was the actual plug -...
