First Camino and walking with my wife. Decision time. Fleece and Puffer. I think one only but weather looks changeable at the moment. Trying to keep under 7kgs! Looking forward to a experience of a lifetime. Flying on from AUS.

I am never sure what type of "fleece" jacket, people refer to. Would you use them differently?

I use a Ortovox soft shell, and I always was fine with it, even at low temperatures. Add layers and you’ll be fine.

Best wishes on your 1st camino. I'd suggest gloves like liner gloves and a neck cowl. Easy to put on and take off. Don't duplicate scarves and cowls to avoid unnecessary weight.

Fleece. I also brought a Marmot rain jacket which was surprisingly very warm.

I've taken lightweight fleece, and lightweight puffer every time, and have worn them all. Most mornings I wear everything, and slowly peel off as/if the day warms up.
