I have had a Deuter Gröden 30 l on two caminos and I love it. The most important thing is that the backbag feels good on your back. I'm relatively short and I have found other bags too long for me.
I had Merrells last spring, waterproof yes but too hard on those hard paths. I had terrible knee problems. This year I'll go with much softer and no waterproof Halti shoes. So, my vote to Hoka 👍
I would have a light sleeping bag in May, specially if you are usually cold. The houses can be cold, even there is already warm outside. I had a sleeping bag in last May, it weighs 600 g and can be used as blanket too. Perfect! Buen Camino 🙋🏻♀️

Now, that's an idea! Great 😃👍
I'm planning to have a little thermos on Ingles in April, specially for the days when there are longer paths between services - but this was a good idea too!
I would buy a smaller backbag for carry on, because I've seen quite many bags are taken to check in even though they fit by their size. It's because people have so much carry on bags these days, they can't all fit in. So, if you definetely absolutely want to have your backbag with you, I think...
Thank you very much for this information 😊👍 I have just ordered one of the products you mention here. I have a diagnose that does not combine well with stomach problems, so I found this very useful.
I did have a pink *********, The one Item that is not allowed to be mentioned (by Robo here) 😄
I used it every day and will take it with me the next time too. I saw quite many people have the same. Somehow it is considered as Bad or unworthy, like if you can't be a true pilgrim with this Item...
