I was packing up for a hike tommorow and guess what there is rain in the forcast...big surprise!I was thinking about how many people I see now hiking in very expensive raingear (Jackets and Pants) even this time of year. Even with the very lightweight/breathable products out there I still like a Poncho this time of year. I like the fact that it covers my pack too; therefore no pack cover to carry. It ventilates better than the best of Raingear IMO, is lighter, and can double as a groundcloth or tarp, neither of which raingear will do. Am I the only one out there that still hikes in the rain like this anymore? What works for you and why?
