    Macabis 30% on Friday Nov. 25th, 2016

    Me too! Only the postage cost I got was $A60.00. LOL.

    Got my New Slender Macabi

    Oh wow! Really nice!!! I'm convinced to order a slim line version!!

    Gym leggings instead of "hiking pants"

    I totally agree with you about the waistband plus fitted four inches or so being much more flattering to wear. Perhaps you could provide some modified designs to Macabi? You could have a Velcro strip fastener instead of a zipper...

    Gym leggings instead of "hiking pants"

    Thanks, Imsundaze! It does look nice on you. I am indeed larger but I should say I'm an Australian size 16, which apparently is only a size 14 in the US! Ha ha! Still, as Anemone says below, I think a waistband and more fitted hips would suit me better. Maybe we should petition Macabi???:)

    Gym leggings instead of "hiking pants"

    Slightly off topic, but I've been wondering if anyone has tried the new slim-line Macabi skirts? I am 5"7" and a size 16 and prefer not to have reams of extra fabric around my middle (picture Spanish Galleon in full sail:)). I'm wondering if the slimline version would be more flattering but...

    Backpacks

    Thanks for the calculator link, Doug! Amusingly I entered my weight in kg and was told to take a fanny pack! I was shocked - but then realised I had to convert my weight into pounds! Ha ha! So now I know I need a day pack!:D

    Anyone use a ScotteVest?

    Postage - OUCH! :eek: $US44 to post to Australia plus $US61 for the skirt = about $AU145!! Eeek! I'll wait to hear the reviews of the Slim fit. If any Camino members are travelling from USA to OZ and are willing to carry some Macabi skirts, do let us know:rolleyes:

    Anyone use a ScotteVest?

    On the topic of Macabis - has anyone tried the new Slim fit model? I wish they'd post some pics of the skirt showing the waist uncovered by a top!! Will the pockets hold as much? Will filled pockets look bulky in the Slim skirt given there is less material to hide under ?

    Front Packs.

    Thanks, Kanga and Anemone! That's all very helpful information!

    Front Packs.

    I know nothing about proper backpacks (have only bought Snowgum daypacks) and I am very interested in the Aarn packs. I am in Melbourne and found this website: http://www.backpackinglight.com.au/store/brand/aarn The website lists its No 1 recommended Camino backpack as the Aarn - Natural...

    ESSENTIAL Equipment for the Budget Concious Pilgrim?

    We were quite unaware such versatile rice cookers existed!! We just were familiar with the usual Aussie rice cookers that cook several cups of rice and nothing else. What appeals in your example for one person in a dorm room is all the other things that it can do! I look forward to your review!

    ESSENTIAL Equipment for the Budget Concious Pilgrim?

    As Rob says below - you can if you have a saucepan. I haven't been on Camino yet so I have little idea of what is generally available. For my daughter's non-Camino use - she has no hot plate in her student room (Canberra, Australia) but could plug in the rice cooker. And it's versatile! Can...

    ESSENTIAL Equipment for the Budget Concious Pilgrim?

    This is wonderful, Rob! Ha ha! Please can you give us the link to the model you show? I'd like to get one myself. Leaving the weight/carrying issue aside, apart from Thai food it would be useful for those budget walkers with gluten intolerance or needing low GI carbs (Basmati rice is OK!). It...
