[pct-l] Rainpants

[Austin Williams]

I love rain pants.  I use them more for wind than rain.  Also, they are the
only thing that protects my bare legs from brush (you know, in those areas
where there are miles and miles of unmaintained trail).

For my lowers, I only bring shorts, underarmour (thermals), and rain pants.

It works well for me.
