[pct-l] Rain Gear suggestions

[tmjgame at comcast.net]

Looking to upgrade the quality and lighten the weight of my rain gear.   In typical hiker trash fashion, I currently have a decades old gortex hooded jacket(patched with duct tape)  and a lightwt pair of golf pants for my rain gear. 



I section hiked Central oregon last year and did not need the raingear or my rainfly.  However, I do believe in carrying raingear as storms can occur at any time. ANY suggestions on light, quality raingear is appreciated.  Inexpensive (not cheap) gear is , of course, preferred.  What is the best VALUE going for rain gear? 



thanks- 



walk on!
