Hi, is there any good site to check for weather forecast before starting the Camino France :?:
I'm thinking about purchasing a raincoat poncho, normally I wear medium jacket would it be better to buy a large or x large considering the poncho will be covering the backpack :!:

Hi Christy,

When would you be walking?

I've tried several options in my walks, hikes, travels. I think I tried everything except a big jacket.

Now I carry a lightweight, packable rain shell and a backpack cover that folds into a very small ball and easily packed.

I do most of my travel in summer warmth, so I have no real need for heavy jacket.

The rain-shell (Mormot) and backpack cover work best for me.

May you have all the best on your journey!
