    footwear

    So far, after about 40 km, they have been great. Don't know if you are thinking of using an insole, but it's hard to find a good fit because of the 3.5 inch wide toe box. I've tried about 5 different brands/models, (Superfeet, PowerStep, etc.) and so far, none feel comfortable. Certainly would...

    footwear

    I would like to put in a plug for the Altra Lone Peak 3.0 trail runners. I did extensive research and ordered a dozen different brands and models (free shipping both ways!) and found the Altras to be the perfect combination of cushion and support, with a wide toe box for my bunion. They are also...

    Frogg Toggs!

    I bought mine on ebay...$39 for the set.

    Rain Gear

    Hello. I bought the Frogg Toggs as well. Inexpensive, weighs nothing, and got rave reviews from motorcyclists claiming to stay totally dry. They run big and the jacket is a bit bulky to pack. Can anyone recommend a really waterproof waterproof jacket? I am on a tight budget and trying to find...

    Sleeping sheet or light weight sleeping bag?

    I had the same question and, because I am a cold sleeper, I knew the liner would not be enough in mid-May when I am going. So, I found a $28 down throw from Eddie Bauer on Amazon...13 oz. I tried it last night (still chilly here in Western Mass., and it was so warm and cozy, but not HOT. Buen...

    T Shirts

    Haven't been in high temps with them, but trust the sage wisdom of all the peregrinos who recommended them. I have hiked extensively with the poly props/synthetic, and they fumigate, for sure! I prefer natural fibers.

    T Shirts

    I decided to bring wool T-shirts. I know this sounds insane when it will get very hot in June! Based on all of my research, I went on ebay and bought two Ice Breaker T-shirts. (They are super expensive ($80-100), but I got them for a fraction of the cost.) They are very lightweight, thin soft...

    To buy a new pack or to make do?

    Yes, backpacks...I was going to have to take my Deuter 60+10 on the Camino Frances, and knew it would be too big and not so comfortable (the one size adjustable model just never worked for me). I recently came into some unexpected financial support which allowed me the luxury of going to REI...

    Backpack

    I appreciate all of the comments above related to the backpack question. I have already spent way more than I should preparing for walking the Camino in mid-May through June. I have a barely used Deuter ACT lite 65+10 backpack. It is fairly comfortable, and I know, way more space than I need...

    Agony of de-feet: Trail Running Shoe (GTX) & SOCK Combo HELP

    Hi Annie...based on this thread, you seem to be the maven on footwear! I do have trouble finding comfortable shoes based on a bunion and overly sensitive feet! Do you know which trail runners from New Balance have the SL-2 last? 1210? Leadville v3? WT610V5? Thanks...I've ordered many...

    3 simple questions: Lock, sleeping bag/liner, PJs

    Indeed! All I have is cotton and I don't want to spend a lot of money...it doesn't have to be the high tech "chunk o change" variety. Just so it dries overnight! :)

    3 simple questions: Lock, sleeping bag/liner, PJs

    Speaking of things lingerie, does anyone have any suggestions about quick drying underwear and a comfortable supportive bra?
