We have hiked 3 Caminos in September and only had several days of rain combined. I would carry a light weight poncho and a pack cover. If its really warm out you just want to keep the rain off your pack but if its cool and a heavy rain you will use both.We will be walking starting Aug. 31 st. Does anyone have a recommendation whether to use a jacket and packcover or a poncho that will cover our packs? It does not seem like there is as much rain in September as many other months. Thanks for your help.
Give us a report when it arrives, and again after the camino!I'm walking late August/September. I've ordered this poncho, it's only 210 grams/7.4 ounces. It's also available on Amazon.
I will!Give us a report when it arrives, and again after the camino!
I had rain cover and a poncho with me. During light rain or cloudy days the cover on the pack is good enough but while you are on your journey in heavy downpour which can last all day you also need a poncho because rain will eventually get your pack wet plus all the inside. If you only have the cover make sure all your personal items and medication are in zyplock bags. Actually I did not have a poncho with me from home but they are readily available and not expensive.

I'm assuming I dont need a pack cover if there is a bag liner and things inside are appropriately protected.,ziplocks etc?
I walked from Santander last year in Aug/Sept. I agonized about poncho v raincoat. I ended up taking a good raincoat. I figured if it was raining I needed something good enough to keep me dry. And ponchos tend to get whipped around in the wind.We will be walking starting Aug. 31 st.

I would recommend a waterproof backback cover. Otherwise, whilst bagged stuff inside may stay dry, the backpack soon becomes saturated (and heavier) and can take a long time to dry out.
