This would be a layer short for my taste. I have a base layer t-shirt and mid-layer trekking shirt, to which I can add a fleece and then a rain-jacket. The t-shirt and trekking shirt are duplicated, but I only carry one fleece and rain-jacket. I wear hiking pants, although I will choose a weight that suits the season.Hello everyone,
I will start my Camino Frances on 6th of March from SJPP.
I have a question regarding warm clothes.
I've watched several videos and some people walk in shorts, others wear sweaters and hats. Its totaly confusing.
What should I take?
At the moment list looks like this:
1. Trailrunners
2. Xero sandals
3. Waterproof socks
4. Hiking socks x2
5. Hiking pants
6. Shorts
7. Long sleeve t-shirt - merino
8. Short sleeve t-shirt - merino
9. Fleece hoody
10. Buff
11. Cap
12. Raincoat
I was thinking maybe I need to swith fleece with down puff hoodie or keep fleece and take down vest?
All ideas are appreciated!
Thx
Hi jjev, while I have not walked in March, I have gone thru the angst of planning for a cold weather Camino. I wore a long sleeve tech shirt, a fleece hoodie, and a waterproof windbreaker. That combo worked fine for me. Buen Camino!Hello everyone,

I walk in November/December and I have a down/synthetic jacket that is super light. I am sure it is lighter than the fleece.hooded jacket and just as warm. I can roll it up tight and stick it in the back pouch of my pack without a problem. I would replace the thin fleece zip and have two marino long sleeve pullovers. They will dry faster and smell alot fresher. Probably lighter also. If it is really cold with a mid weight long sleeve merino pullover. and my jacket I always warm. In fact many mornings I am looking to take something off after 15 minutes or so even if it is around freezing. I don't know how warm running tights are but I alway use a midweight base layer bottom that I wear under my pants. When it starts to get warm later in your camino, especially as you head into Galicia it will probably will still be pretty chilly in the morning. If you put the base layer bottoms on and then your shorts you will be warm in the morning. As the sun comes up and the temperature rises you can easily stop take off your shorts and base layer bottoms. Stick the bottom in your pack and put your shorts back on and you are off again. I would also take one quick dry t-shirt as it will get pretty warm on some days and pretty warm in the albergue. To tell you the truth I only take one merino wool pullover and one t-shirt and I do great.Hello @Perambulating Griffin , @Vacajoe , @dougfitz ,@henrythedog and @CaminoKentucky

???Fleece? Big No! - Remember, "Kotton Kills!"
I've read about that, but the route through Valcarlos should be open. Correct me if I'm wrong.the Napoleon route will be closed on March
That's correctI've read about that, but the route through Valcarlos should be open. Correct me if I'm wrong.
and you do wear shorts. =)This was March 2018 had snow till April.
I'd ditch the fleece hood for a down jacket or equivalent (I have a Patagonia Micro Puff) as this will provide better warmth but pack smaller and, as said above, without a hood which is just a faff and you already have cap/hat/buff. Good Luck.Hello @Perambulating Griffin , @Vacajoe , @dougfitz ,@henrythedog and @CaminoKentucky

Dont feel the cold.and you do wear shorts. =)
great photo by the way.
Think layers. I would take rain jacket instead of a rain coat. It can be used for rain or for a top layer if you are cold. Instead of shorts, consider zip off pants, midweight leggings, and rain pants as a lower body layering system.Hello everyone,

We walked late April! Definitely layers and most mornings wore a light puffer jacket! Not an Everest type but a 550 fill very light and squishes into one of it's pockets.Hello everyone,

For that time of the year, forget shorts and short sleeves. I brought 2 long sleeve shirts, and one short sleeve (usually to sleep in but occasionally to layer with and used for a couple of days during warmer weather). Also, long sleeves are used for SPF - it may be cold during this time of year but the sun is deceivingly strong enough to get you a sunburn.Hello everyone,
