I think you ma...Thanks for dropping by again Phil!<br /><br />I think you may be right about rain pants in colder weather. On our hike the daytime temps were in the 70s so rain pants would have become a sauna quickly. And wet pants are not chilling at all at this temperature.<br /><br />If I experienced rain when it was going to be below 55 or so then I think I would want to bring my DriDucks suit.Heberfarnsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410284354232381519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770040501124297598.post-77344424738848888722011-05-28T20:24:48.777-04:002011-05-28T20:24:48.777-04:00Lots to chew on in here. Regarding rain pants - I ...Lots to chew on in here. Regarding rain pants - I really count on them, even in summer, when walking through close brush that is covered with water. I get very chilled if I'm not wearing a DWR/Waterproof leg layer. They're also very useful to wear in town on longer hikes while you're doing your laundry. <br /><br />Regarding shoes and stream crossings, I've found that trail runners without a goretex lining are idea. They dry pretty quick at night and you are not burdened by the extra water weight of a wet leather boot. That's what kills me. Sealskinz never worked for me,<br /><br />Glad to see your blog is still chugging away. Cheers.Philip Wernerhttp://sectionhiker.comnoreply@blogger.com
