[pct-l] Rain jacket

[ned at mountaineducation.org]

Now with bicycling, a good rain jacket works well, as long as it is long 
enough to cover the lower back. I used one for 5,000 miles of 
bicycle-camping in Europe over the course of 4 months and lots of rain and I 
stayed pretty dry from the hips up. Nevertheless, the seams need to be well 
treated to keep wind-driven rain from pushing through since sometimes you're 
moving pretty fast.

I didn't worry too much about getting too wet as the pubs were always 
calling and good places to dry out!

Hello all, on the subject of rain jackets, I have been getting involved
with long distance cycling ( don't freak..road travel only ), and the
Adventure Cycling Association (adventurecycling.org) has some basic camping
gear, one of which is a waterproof breathable jacket at 5 ounces. Cost is
around $35. It's called the Rainshield 02 Jacket.
