[pct-l] Frogg Toggs

[Hiker97 at aol.com (Hiker97@aol.com)]

I have used Frogg Toggs for years and had no problems.  Of course, I only 
hike on good trails and not cross country.  In strong winds and rain the pants 
and jacket work fine.  Like Tyvek, you have to throw the new ones in a washer to 
soften them up for packing.  No soap, just water on the super gentle cycle.  
I have the old jacket, which is not as good as the new one with the button 
flap.  The pants and jacket weigh about 16 ounces.  There are lighter 
alternatives now days with the new high tech fabrics, but so far I have not felt the need 
to change.
