Did a quick search to see if this backpack with inbuilt umbrella has been featured yet and couldn’t find a reference so...

Here is the ultimate hands free backpacking umbrella built into its own backpack.

It also has a solar panel option for charging your electronic devices but we won’t start a discussion into the optional Bluetooth speaker...

Readily available via Amazon and other sites and ships to Australia.
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
CRIKEY! This thing actually exists! Check this out...(paste the whole thing into your browser)

www.amazon.com/EZ-FunShell-Backpack-Umbrella-PROTECTIONS/dp/B07QK3J4S5/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?dchild=1&keywords=EZ%27s+HOME+FunShell+2nd+Generation+Backpack+Umbrella&qid=1569637685&sr=8-1-fkmr0

It costs USD 110, weighs 5.5 pounds, about 2.25 kg. Apparently it also comes in other models, sizes, and styles with other features.

There is also a home website: www.funshellbackpack.com/index.html. But it is not coming up on my browsers.

Jeesh, what's next...?
 
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

€149,-
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.


I still prefer this backpack:

 
A selection of Camino Jewellery
I’m just interested to know if the designer actually did any hiking but I’m sure that we’ll see one out on the Camino before too long

Kinda reminds me of that old TV show, "The Flying Nun" (for those old enough to remember).
