[pct-l] Superfeet and Ponchos

[J M]

Sam, 

I grew up hiking in Washington State and hiking in the rain is just a given. 
Gortex is nice and all the super materials have their merits... I use a clear 
plastic rain poncho. It covers my head and pack and gives me all kinds of air 
flow. Early on I tried everything new that came on the market and what I found 
was a 1.99 rain poncho works the best. You do need to take into consideration 
that I consider any weather other than rain 'exotic'. 

Cheers and hope to see you on the trail!

Joyce

Did anyone else find the Superfeet insoles to be ridiculously stiff? If so,
did you succeed in breaking them in, or did they continue sucking? I got the
green color, so maybe I should look into a different shade before hosing the
things in white gas and igniting via compass mirror.

Also, after the recent theft of my precip (the damn thing never kept me too
dry anyhow), I've begun browsing ponchos. What once seemed like goofy hazmat
gear now seems kind of awesome and somewhat functional. Anyone have any
suggestions?

Thanks again, can't wait, ect,

Sam
