    Hiking Skirts

    I've worn a Royal Robbins Discovery Skirt on two Caminos and just loved it. Big, secure pockets and looks good enough for wearing after the Camino. I wear it all summer at home as well. They are almost discontinued, but still out there. And the Purple Rain skirt looks similar, but a bit shorter.

    What to wear in bed?

    My first Camino I took nothing special to wear to sleep, assuming I'd sleep in some of my walking clothes as people advised. For me it was a mistake. The next time I took lightweight pajamas. This time I'm bringing silk long johns from Lands End. They weigh little, can provide a base layer if I...

    Confused about Macabi Skirt

    The Macabi didn't work for me. I'm also 5'2 and average weight, but I found the waist way too binding for me, so there wasn't a payoff for how unflattering it also looked.

    Need a new waist pack

    Travel pants that don't look like travel pants

    I bought great pants from Eddie Bauer that are lightweight with great pockets, zippered, and dry quickly and look good even off the trail. These are for women but I bet men's exist too. They've been perfect for camino and I'll wear them back home.

    sandals vs boots

    Sandra--I haven't yet walked my Camino (leave in 2.5 weeks) so bear that in mind with my answer. But I wanted to share that I began my training thinking I might walk in my Chacos. I too have foot issues and my feet and knees feel best in those sandals. However, in reading forums and giving in...

    Macabi skirt - I'm taking the plunge

    Aimee -- I'm just shy of 5'3 and ordered the xs in short, as I typically wear a US size 4. It comes about midway down my shin. Hope that helps. If you want it closer to show length, you might want a regular. I'll add that the Macabi fan club sold me as well, but when my skirt arrived I realized...
