There are lots of medieval illustrations showing pilgrims wearing long tunics, long cloaks, and floppy brimmed hats. They usually carry a scrip or leather bag slug across their shoulder. Woollen clothing is surprisingly weather proof, I've done a bit of medieval re-eneactment andmy cloak, which has shruk and felted somewhat, keeps out anything other than torrential rain and is warm to sleep in.
