On our Camino earlier this year I took a set of black surgical “scrubs”. They proved to be very useful. I wore them for “after Camino” lounging, as sleepwear, when laundering my other clothes, the shirt actually looked kind of dressy (clergy-like?), and had lots of handy pockets. They are inexpensive and cut loose and comfortable. They rolled up very tight in my pack, and the fabric was stain resistant and designed to shed dirt. I am not recommending them for use during the actual walk, but then again they could work for that too. If you are obsessed with counting every gram then I am sure that there are other products/options. However, for pure utility and daily use they were one of my best packing choices. Pete

That's a new idea! Thanks for that Pete.
You didn't get asked to perform any minor blister surgery?

Thanks! The only blisters I operated on we're my own. :wink:

Amazon carries a number of brands, some are gender specific. I bought men's scrubs made by Dickies.

I brought scrub pants during a long trek in Africa, and I absolutely loved them! They were lightweight, comfortable and easy to clean.

Novel and interesting but a little quirky. What prompted you to think of them?

A number of years ago my daughter who is a nurse asked me to stop at a uniform store to pick up a set of "scrubs" for her. I was getting ready to sail a blue water passage and I thought a set of scrubs might be handy for fair weather watches etc. The scrubs worked better than I expected and thereafter became my regular travel "extras" and home nightwear.
