I  have FroggToggs too (and at the risk of repeating myself    ...yes,  I'm a 
gearhead !!)  Carried the jacket all the way to Katahdin but hardly  ever 
wore it (except when I did laundry).  Sent the pant home.   Guess I could 
consider carrying that jacket on the PCT.  Just can't make  up my mind what makes the 
most sense.  I've got time to think about  it.

Oh, I wouldn't trust an old set.  What kept me warm and dry in WA  didn't in 
MT, so I sent for my Gor-Tex which worked great in the cooler  weather, but 
weighed another 1.5 lbs.
 
The pants will come in handy in WA.  Lots of time you're rubbing  against wet 
brush and within seconds a nylon pair of convertibles is  drenched.  On the 
last night I had to sleep in my set when my  down bag got wet.
