Being little rascally here, I have not seen the trousers you can get on and off without removing one's pack even if they fit over boots! :twisted: I can put on the gaiters sitting on a rock with my pack still on.getting the overtousers on/off without taking your boots off is a must
Do not be too taken by the claims on boots and gaiters. In prolonged, steady rain, your boots will get wet. Gaiters help, though they are not much protection from the mud, and Gore-Tex breathes. If moisture can get out, it can get in!My boots are Gore-tex and are supposedly waterproof. Should I believe that, or is nothing really waterproof? I suppose even if the boots are waterproof gaiters would keep them clean through the ankle-deep mud.
Hi...brenfinds said:Hi All, I'm doing my first solo Camino Frances from late September through October 2012. I've got a light breathable hooded rain jacket, quick dry convertible pants, gaiters, overpants and a pack with rain cover. Now I'm looking for a poncho! this feels like overkill! What do I really need? Brenda
