It has "pit zips" for ventilation - they are superb! I mailed it ahead to Santiago last year, and regretted doing so. For that, I will wear a breathable but waterproof parka / jacket underneath. it covers everything that needs covering, EXCEPT my forearms. The parka also comes in "bright froggie green" and grey. I suppose that will work as well as another color. I weighed both using a digital postal scale. It weighs 358 grams in its stuff sack, as opposed to 488 for the Ferrino raincoat and stuff sack. I ended up purchasing a Sea-to-Summit Ultra-Sil poncho. So, I sought the lightest poncho I could find, balancing cost against utility and weight. Zippy covers any two bits, but not all three. I have the XL size, but needed something with more girth for the rucksack, me, and the chest pack. However, this year, as I am moving some gear to a 2-liter pouch attached to the the front of my rucksack harness to counterbalance the rucksack weight, the Ferrino raincoat will no longer fit. The knee-length raincoat covered me and my rucksack.

He kept me dry and warm, even when we had 10 cm of wet snow at Cruz de Ferro on 16 May. But given how bad the weather turned out to be over the ensuing month it was a brilliant twist of fate! Yup, "Zippy" (as I named him) and I had a great adventure on the Camino.

#Prank me not poncho zip
Last year I bought a Ferrino trekking poncho with sleeves and zip up the front at the shop in St.

I have tried to sort this out for myself as well for this year's Camino.
