    Quick drying hiking tshirt help

    Merino all the way. Doesn't stink and dries quickly. Anything synthetic (running shirts etc.) will stink, no matter how many times you wash them.

    Buying Trekking Poles in SJPdP?

    I bought mine in SJPdP for less than 20 euros. There are at least two pilgrim outfitter places there. I also got a great poncho that I couldn't buy in Canada. You'll definitely want those poles for the first few days. It's 1-2 days over the Pyrenees and then several days of descent into...

    Have any women bought a man's backpack? (I did, and now I'm not sure!)

    Please review my packing list

    I'm planning on taking this great fanny pack that easily converts into a cross-body bag. I've been using it around town and I love it. It's even big enough to fit the Brierley guidebook! http://goinggear.com/packs/outdoor/lumbar/arc-teryx-maka-2-shoulder-lumbar-pack-black.html

    Is it smart to just buy the rest of my stuff in SJPDP?

    I'm planning on buying my hiking poles in St Jean, as I don't want to check my backpack (with poles) on the flight. I have to fly through Heathrow and they're very strict about what they deem to be a potential weapon. At home, I use a cheap pair of poles to train with. Just wondering: I heard...
