This is a great idea! Thank youTry an umbrella. Makes a far better sunshade than any jacket
The good old PNW! I think I’ll try the umbrella idea. Multi purpose - rain or sun protector. Thank you so, so much. BTW of love Patagonia it’s an awesome PNW product line.Hello fellow PNWer.
I will be walking the Camino Frances in May-June this year and will be taking my Patagonia Torrentshell rain jacket. It's light and doesn't take much volume when folded.
It is not a cheap rain jacket (as nothing Patagonia does is cheap), but I did not buy it for specifically for the Camino though - it's more something you can't live without up here in Vancouver.
Me too. In my case, that means rain jacket, rain pants, and small umbrella. Rain jacket and pants are also important for warmth and wind break. Umbrella is also good for sun. The pants are good when everything else needs washing.exactly what I'd use at home
I used a lightweight Frog tog suit for cold and wet weather. Used it more for wind and cold weather than for rain. But when it did rain, I was happy to have it.Greetings all, I’m looking for advice on bringing (or not) a rain shell during June and July for the Camino Frances. I’ll be walking the entire route from SJPP to Santiago. I live in the Pacific Northwest & a rain shell is like our second skin.. Would love to some advice from others who have walked in these months. Thanks so much. This forum is such a wealth of knowledge.
I always bring my very lightweight Patagonia Torrential jacket. I have walked 3 times in the bad summer heat but it can get very cold at night and in the morning. I didn't have any rain but I sure needed it as a 3rd layer for the cold.Greetings all, I’m looking for advice on bringing (or not) a rain shell during June and July for the Camino Frances.

Agree with the Frogtoggs. After using a variety of rain jackets and pack covers, I now just use a man's x-large Frogtogg coat weighing about 7oz. for all 3 seasons on Camino. It covers me, Osprey 33L pack and waist. 2 oz rain skirt covers down to just below knees. No pack cover necessary, and they don't work great in driving rain anyway...neither will an umbrella. FT coat allows free hands for trekking poles, extra warmth layer if necessary, wind protection and more. It is field repairable with duct tape, although I have never gotten tears or holes. Kit of pants and coat were $25 at Walmart a couple years ago.I used a lightweight Frog tog suit for cold and wet weather. Used it more for wind and cold weather than for rain.
