[pct-l] Rain Gaer ?

[Ken Powers]

We have gone to ponchos because they are quicker and easier to put on when 
the rain starts. We are using the blue silnylon ponchos that are longer in 
the back to cover our backpacks. We pull the back corners forward and tie 
them in a knot at our waist to keep them from flapping.

No matter what you use you will get wet eventually in the rain. Our goal has 
become to stay warm in the rain, then dry fast when it stops.
