It is also possible you may have a lot more than 7 rainy days.  When I
finished my '09 hike it was 38 degrees and rained all day.  I had mediocre
rain gear and was miserable.  I'll carry my 10 oz gear and be warm - and
safe.

I'll disagree slightly... While I think that's true forthe AT, the weather
in California is extreme,  and even if you only use it ten times;  a couple
of ounces of rain gear can be the difference between hypothermia and not.
And the ability to wear down underneath almost makes up for the weight vs
fleece.

Though I don't agree with rain Pants necessarily,  something to keep yu dry
is a must
