Those looking for great, strong, and long-lasting clothes for thru-hiking,
check out the RailRiders line at www.railriders.com. Their Weatherpants
weigh only 11-ounces, are bombproof, dry in 15-minutes, and have
abrasion-resistant Cordura seat and knee patches. The Eco-mesh shirt has
Cool-Max yoke and side mesh panels from the wrists up the arm and down to
the waist and will help in the heat of the desert and high-country. I have
both and swear by them. All their gear is available in women's and men's
sizes. Get their catalogue and check out their gear. Most are made with
Supplex. This is the same stuff used by Eco-Challenge and Raid adventure
racers in their bushwacking events. It is made to last for years.
