[pct-l] Rain Pants

[Kailin Collins]

Thanks so much for the suggestions. Unfortunately I do not know how to sew so homemade rain pants could result in an Interesting outcome. I'm not worried about being too cold while moving, it's more about as soon as I stop, especially when wet from the rain. I've done other shorter hikes with glorified wind pants, which served me well for those occasions. I think I will give the precips a shot--I can appreciate the rain advise from someone from the PNW.

Thanks again for taking the time

I don't know your level of experience; if this is your first long hike, I think you may find that your lower extremities will become more immune to the cold than you expect, at least while hiking. Certainly, your lower legs will become more muscular while the thigh will likely thin. Constant movement generates a lot of warmth.  If I was chilled when I stopped, I just got in my bag. Otherwise, I preferred shorts, even in low temps. But as Mango mentioned, the primary use of rain pants was while doing laundry in town.
