[pct-l] rain chaps vs rain pants

[Paul Robison]

ULA rain wrap FTW!

... my problem with rain pants is ... in sudden downpours you are soaked before 
you can get them on.  the rain wrap is almost instant,  breathes, and does a 
'decent' job at keeping your drier.  obviously it's nothing like my Beta AR 
pants..  but they're only 30 bucks, or you could sew you own for like 15$.

besides, you're a girl,  so no need to feel weird wearing a skirt.

I have a pair of very light weight rain chaps.  I like the fact that they are 
only a few ounces but worry that they may be too light for a thru hike and have 
been looking at the Golite 

Tumalo Pertex Storm Pants that are around 10 ounces.  More weight = more 
protection but they are more weight and take up more space in my pack.  Any 
thoughts?  Yea it's the battle of the light weights vs the ultra light weights, 
go at it guys!
