[pct-l] Rain Gear or Plastic Rain coat

[Kevin English]

Thank you everybody for the feedback.  I do like the point that works a
lite raincoat works as a layering system for chilly nights. Also, I know
hiking with in those plastic ponchos is a pain, I'm leaning toward bringing
a real rain jacket, probably going to bite the bullet and get the OR Helium
II....

We live in San Diego so rain is never really and issue when we go hiking :)
I always have a few of those $1 plastic ponchos from wal mart in my pack.
My wife had a heavy raincoat when we were in New Zealand but she complained
it was too much weight in the pack

I know hiking in July, rain won't be our #1 concern but I wanna be prepared
for the worst.
