You are right that there are no retailers for Altus in the US.I’ve also been interested in finding the Altus but doesn’t seem available in US. It has features I like (fits over your pack, longer sleeves, not too pricey, fairly compact when folded up, etc) that I have not been able to find in local options, including at REI. It seems ideal for Camino, maybe designed for it, not just a doing sports in rain option. There are some other threads referencing Altus on this site - including contacting sellers in Spain to reserve for pickup, depending on your start place. If you’re interested these might contain useful info for you

I purchased one of the Anyoo ponchos above and it is heavy and large. It was too big for me and I ended up not taking it. My husband might use it this time around. It does zip-up and has buttons and it does cover the pack. The same company sells a smaller version that I purchased and it is perfect for me (5'7" medium build) and it fits over my 30L pack easily. I have yet to wear it in heavy rain. The sleeves are a little short for me though they go down to my upper wrist, but I have long arms.

Anyoo Waterproof Rain Poncho Lightweight Reusable Hiking Hooded Coat Jacket for Outdoor Activities
which looks very much like the Altus. It weighs 760 gms, but it serves the same purpose. Take a look:
