Customer Reviews
Bought to have for camino de norte in September. It's the right size , have used in train walk so far
I received both ponchos in quick time, BUT the sizes are quite small for both.
I ordered 2 Altus Ponchos. My husband and I were leaving on our spring Camino Frances and I knew that we would get some rain. Little did we know that we would also get snow! It was a great rain buffer, and it is also a thermal layer, as we learned when we hiked up O Cebreiro in the snow! This is something that you shouldn't leave home without!! We highly recommend it!
Haven’t used it yet - no rain. The fit is good, it is light, long and I like the pack pouch and that it snaps up when not in use. Thanks for the quick delivery. Because it has not been tested in the rain I can only rate it as a 4
I’ve ordered Altus Poncho last month. Ivar was very helpful with the order. He offered me no charge DHL shipping. Order arrived at my door in a week. I was nicely surprised.
Product looks great. Unfortunately I was not able to assess merchandise in real world yet.
Great customer service, I would shop Ivar’s store again.
