Good material, good product! Certainly a good buy… except for the bill from Fed Ex in addition to shipping paid up front!! An additional $25 in charges! If disclosed up front, I might not have purchased!!
FedEx is charging me for it not having enough shipping payment. The poncho seems great but I’m pissed about the additional $25!
I think it's going to do the job just fine 👍
Altus Poncho (ATMOSPHERIC J30)
The Altus Poncho is super lite, reslient and at your finger tips when the big rain storms come from nowhere on the Meseta, or similar. Plus, having been lucky enough to walk a few Caminos it just feels like a great levelling pilgrim garb to adopt.

Ordered following good reviews. Very happy with purchase and service from the Camino Store. Looking forward to our Camino in October. UK buyer.
I went for the golden lima as the blue was sold out in my size, and (my preference) red has not been made in some time. It just arrived, and I must say that there is not a lot of golden in it, but lots of an unappealing shade of green that makes my complexion look as if I am suffering from a prolonged experience of nausea. I know that it is only a rain protector and I should get over the colour thing, but I admit to buyer's remorse. Hopefully the technical elements are as good as reputed. If I can bring myself to wear it....
