The pilgrim’s poncho has become, by dint of much usage, typically “pilgrim.” Indeed essential when rains, it protects the backpack as well. A major inconvenience is that one perspires a lot underneath it! So, why not an umbrella…
It is not our shepherds of the Pyrenees who would disagree! If there is not too much wind, and with a backpack cover, it is great! and, moreover, one sees the landscape! More and more pilgrims choose this solution!
