[pct-l] frogg toggs and O2 Rainwear

[yogilists at hotmail.com (yogi yogi)]

I used a frogg toggs type jacket:  O2 rainwear by 3M, I think.  It's the 
same material as frogg toggs, just a different company.

You know how you're always a bit wet inside a rain jacket, and you never 
know if it's from your sweat or from the rain?  Well, we got a DOWNPOUR just 
north of Etna in 2003.  We stopped under some trees to cook dinner and wait 
out the really hard rain.  Stopped just before the rain started.  I put on 
my O2 Jacket.  After about 10 minutes of rain, I was very wet inside.  It 
wasn't from sweat, because I had stopped about 5 minutes before the rain 
started, and I was NOT moving around while I was cooking dinner.  We walked 
on and I stayed wet inside the jacket.  The thing is a piece of crap, and is 
now in a landfill somewhere in Oregon.

When I got to Ashland, I picked up a Marmot Pre-Cip Plus Meteor Jacket.  It 
kept me dry in 2 weeks of rain almost every day in Washington.  The frogg 
toggs material is cheap for a reason.  It's crap.
