For some reason, I've been thinking about my raingear lately...
On Zealand last Saturday, Gator, Sadie, and I were all commenting about how much we hated our raincoats. Gator had recently bought one that was supposed to be good but wasn't. I knew mine situation was bad. Given the choice of either the heavy Gore-Tex hard shell I use in winter or a 100% nylon EMS jacket, I went with the nylon and soon found the jacket wet on the inside and the outside (knew that would happen). Sadie had a similar situation and then just opted to take off her raincoat part way through.
Does anyone have any recommendations for raingear that actually keeps the water out but is contructed well enough to be light and to offer a decent amount of ventilation?
