[QUOTE="peregrino_tom, post: 1192464, member: 4307"] yes, I think there are a couple of well regarded raincoat-type ponchos out there (i.e. ones with sleeves and sometimes with a zip down the front (also good for ventilation). It'd be good to have a choice of more than one brand! As others have said, it's pretty easy to get the sizing right and avoid returns. Packs are much more subjective and most of us recommend trying them on in a store, with weight in them, before buying. Poles are almost universally found to be helpful, but really most people want to pick them up at the start of their camino so they don't have the extra hassle and costs of having to stow their bags for the aeroplane. What would be brilliant would be to go into partnership with a couple of albergues, say in Sarria (and then maybe SJPdP..) where people could pick up the poles they ordered at the start. They could also drop them off at Casa Ivar and those would be recycled as secondhand poles back to Sarria. Any surplus costs going towards funding the forum.. And Ivar, I look forward to seeing you modelling the poncho ;) [/QUOTE]
