[pct-l] Rain Jacket

[Jeffrey Olson]

I've tried lots of options, including a precip, which didn't keep me 
dry.  I've finally accepted the fact I'm going to get wet - both from 
sweat and from inundation from without.  If someone has a piece of 
raingear that has kept them "DRY" speak up.  I don't think it exists.

So, I've decided to use a silnylon poncho - 6 oz or so.  I can wrap it 
around my body and with a billed hat, fight off the worst squalls, for a 
while at least.  Or when it's an all day sprinkle, i can loosen it all 
and let my body "breathe".

the key is polypro/some sort of fleece next to the skin that can get wet 
but if protected from the wind, doesn't getlet me get cold.

Just my opinion.
