- Consider gaiters. I took a low pair of trail gaiters, and they were a godsend. Outside of stepping in two feet of standing water, my feet remained dry during the entire walk. My shoes, Oboz Sawtooth low walking shoes, had NO GORETEX but my feet and socks remained dry in driving rain. Not one blister either.
Bottom line, don't wait until you are out on the Camino to see if you system works.
I used an Enlightened Equipment Rain Wrap last September and October. I stuffed into a ball half the size of a tennis ball, and left in my rain jacket pocket. It was easy on, and easy off. It was super light, allowed airflow, but good enough as a wind breaker.

Are you used to walking in rain pants? Personally I do not like them, I get much too how wearing them even in Winter... We all differ.
My hubby and I loved our cheap rain kilts! So quick and easy to put on or take off and super cheap and lightweight!I'm starting the CF in September and have a lightweight REI rain shell with lightweight rain pants. Are the rain pants a good idea? I thought they might keep my feet dryer longer when its raining since they cover the top of the shoe. Anyone have experience with this? Thanks!
I simply washed my Rohan Striders (for cooler/cold conditions, with a brushed lining) in Nikwax TX Direct wash-in (for breathable fabrics).

@chinacat bloody brilliant idea. Is this what you used? I think I might do my pants and shirt. Would it make sense to do my DarnTough socks?

On my CF in Sep-Oct, I discarded my heavy raincoat ahead and walked with a poncho I bought in the camping shop opposite and down the hill a bit from the pilgrim office in SJPP.I'm starting the CF in September and have a lightweight REI rain shell with lightweight rain pants.

I LOVE my rain kilt. I got mine from AntiGravityGear and now use it for everything from hiking to hunting. Light and adjustable.
