    Blister-free socks - or your money back!

    I have used 1000 Mile Socks for years. No blisters. They're thin and dry out fairly fast. Only downside is no cushioning. But at least my feet don't roast in them. Same kind marathon runners use.

    Packing for September-October..

    Big agree on the gloves. I'm picking up a pair in Pamplona (can't get'em for love nor money in England - "'cuz it's summer and you don't need gloves" o_O ... silly people).

    Packing for September-October..

    TammyLynn; My pack, total weight is 12.5 pounds - 6 of which is my travel writing kit/camera. Once change of clothes, few bits and bobs. It's not what you could carry, but as said, mainly what you need. Style, fashion and trends go out the window when it's 90 degrees with 90 percent humidity...

    Raincoat-Poncho

    Oddly enough Fraluchi, I've only ever had to use my poncho once, when the skies opened and I had about 3 miles to cover before any kind of shelter. The only reason I bought it in the first place was if I got stuck out somewhere and needed to stealth camp (they're ideal for that). I have an...

    Raincoat-Poncho

    10 oz is fine Falcon. My windcheater is 1 lb, so I'm down to a decent weight now. Will see what's there when I arrive mid September. Thanks

    Raincoat-Poncho

    Thanks, I'll give them a try when I get there. Yeah, I noticed that on the profiles. Will just have to take as it comes. Saw your post about it too. Mud-surfing wheee-heee.

    Raincoat-Poncho

    Hi Margaret, I'm in at Pamplona. There's probably stores there with them in, I'll have a couple days wandering around the town, so no rush.

    Raincoat-Poncho

    OK Falcon, thanks. My poncho covers the legs about the same. The full arm coverage is the plus. I assume these are available in Spain when I get there? My Poncho is about 10 ounces, how does that compare with an Altus? I have an emergency poncho that weighs hardly anything and a windcheater, so...

    Raincoat-Poncho

    People mention the Altus. I have a poncho that can be used for just about everything (including tent), but the downside is that my forearms get wet. Decades ago I backpacked Spain a couple of times and bought a yellow rain jacket in Madrid. I chose extra-extra, large so that it went over myself...
