Hi everzone! Please help me with a last minute advice. I am startint on the 19th from Pamplona. Shall I take winter (ski jacket). Other option is technical layer, slight fleece, gilet and a waterproof jacket... For running I normally use two-three skinny layers around 5-15 degrees. But this is my first time there...Thank you!

My advice is to layer rather than have one single really warm item. I have walked the CF in April, and wore/carried a light fleece and a mesh lined rain jacket in addition to the base and middle layers I normally wore. This was enough for warmth in the morning and rain/wind protection.

@dougfitz , Thank you! I have one raincoat which is not the highest professional one. I prefer layers too and winter jacket seems heavy too...
