Have enjoyed reading on here for some time so decided to join the conversation. I will be walking with my wife starting the 2nd of October until we are through...Looking forward to it and expecting to start in Somport. Ponchos seem to be a key item when walking for more than a month...

What poncho did you decided to use?

 

[jhamsuy]

We bought something called a Bluefield light poncho on Amazon. I'll see it Monday. I'm not too sure...

Welcome to the forum, @jhamsuy . If you are walking in October starting in the Pyrenees you might very well need good rain gear and a few warm layers as well. A lot of folks on this forum recommend Frogs Toggs rain gear because it is reasonably priced and reliable.
Wishing you both a very buen camino.

 

[jhamsuy]

Thx for the recommendations!

When you stick around here long enough you will discover that there are a number of good choices for rain gear each with advantages and disadvantages, but no one perfect option. So, a key is learning to feel confident and comfortable with the choice that you make. Everyone will have a different experience. ¡Buen Camino! ¡Bienvenido!
