I walked the Camino Frances in 2016 and will be doing the Portuguese in April 2023. Here is my packing list: https://marisahikes.wordpress.com/

Thank you for sharing your packing list, I found your comments on each item quite interesting. The Gregory Jade 38 is also my pack of choice. I hope you have wonderful Camino!

This is my FB page that has my packing list on it for women. Have used this for autumn or for spring. I have most of the weights, but not all, and pricing is missing on some stuff cause they are older items that I already had.

Thank you for a wonderful list with so much detail/comments!! I leave in 1.5 weeks for SJPdP and this is a good sanity check for my packing list. I also will be hiking with my Gregory Jade 38L pack.

A 38L pack seems awfully large to me.
I take a 28L Jade and have plenty of space.

I took a Gregory Juno 36. It was not nearly large enough due to the medications and continuous glucose monitoring devices. I did not pack extra clothes except for socks. But I wear two pairs and change them during the day.

Thank you for sharing. Your list with comments was really useful to read

Both are great options. I opted for the 38 because I'll get more use out of it for other non camino activities. 28L is quite limiting for my non camino needs.

Exactly, we all have different needs. I wouldn't say a 38 is too large at all, it seems to be around the average range from what I've seen. Lucky for us the market is saturated with enough choices to satisfy everyone.

I had space in my 38 but I liked that. Most women I met on the Camino had the same size I did.

Whilst I write from an inevitably male perspective others might want to consult an equally informative packing list which @spreadsheetdirtbags posted some time ago. I (personally) marvel at the difference in weight for an item sized for a petite female as opposed to mine which according to Mrs HtD could have been bought from a clown’s-outfitters.

How much did your pack weigh after it was packed?

As we’re on a “ female” topic, I’m planning to take a bit of makeup. Lipstick, mascara and blush and some hair product.
Does anyone else take these beauty product luxouries ?

Always would, don't want to scare people that early in the morning

I don't wear make-up anymore. I don't like how it feels. When I worked as a manager in restaurants and a hotel, then I did, but for the last 16 years I haven't. Au Naturel for me.
My pack is just a tad over 6kg. without the water. I am 168cm and presently 78kg.

Tinted lip balm and mascara when I'm feeling girly.

I will also be taking these items. Daily I fill in my eyebrows, pop on mascara and lippy and if I’m really living it up, dab on some blush! It’s just how I roll so walking the Camino will be the same daily routine.

I also have a 28L Gregory and was hoping this would work.... it appears it can be done
