I just found this website that sells Altus ponchos (Atmospheric Raincoat) with delivery to the US (and other countries). They are discounted (i.e., $47 vs $66 for a blue one, $50 vs $66 for a yellow one - the red one is not discounted at $66). I bought 2 - shipping was about $22. They said they will be delivered within the week.
Deporvillage (https://www.deporvillage.net/altus-atmospheric-raincoat-red) - an "online sports store" registered in Barcelona. They deliver via DHL. Lots of other items are on their website, many are discounted.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.

Thank you.
It seems crazy that there is no US distributor of the Altus.
I believe that another member ordered from DeporVillage

Seriously tempted although people in the UK have to be careful about importing goods from the EU nowadays.

Very light weight though - 300g against my 440g - so must be a thinner material than the old ones?
 
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-
I have got this, used for 3 caminos, not in use anymore since I changed to a lighter and another colour after VdLP in 2011.
Felt I attracted by some bulls along the path with the red colour, but somebody at the forum told me later that bulls are colourblind. Could give it away, but guess the postal cost might be higher than the original prize.

So with shipping you're paying more than if you just wait and get it in Madrid, or Pamplona or Zubiri or SJPP or pretty much any other Deportes in Spain?
Plus if you buy in Spain you can try it on.
I'm not sure I see the benefit? But I'm happy if you're happy :)

Can anyone please advice on the colour? is red the best colour considering that is more visible in the snow?

Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
I ordered 2 on Sunday. They arrived today! (Wednesday). Extremely light weight. Fit great. If you don't want to wait until you are in SJPdP or Spain, ordering through Deporvillage (https://www.deporvillage.net/altus-atmospheric-raincoat-red) is a great option. Their discount (on blue and yellow) more than covers the cost of shipping. BTW, the size information provided by Antananarivo was really helpful.
Thank you all for your responses.

Planning on walking the de Norte starting early September. I ordered a size small blue Altus Poncho from Deporvillage based on the sizing info you provided. Placed my order on Wednesday 2/23 and DHL delivered to my front door on Monday 2/28. I'm 5'5" and weigh between 140-150 lbs. The size small comes just below my knees. Thanks again for sharing.
