[pct-l] Rain pants

Wed Mar 9 21:15:40 CST 2011

Ok, I might have to try it and check my dignity at the border.  Hopefully
the wind won't blow my skirt up.

Just seems wrong, but ok.

i would definitely go for at least 32 inch length... think it's not like an
inseam, it sits on your waist.

the dark green that they come in now don't even look like a skirt,
especially in the wind,  

and at 30$, it is more effective, cheaper and lighter than other options...
... i'll take the uncool look of it anyday,  besides,  it's "hiker handsome"

OK - but there is still some loss of dignety involved, once again.

We don't have to wear a sports bra with it do we??

No because it's coated nylon, t slides along the surrounding brush...

... The dry ducks have a peached surface, so they snag on thorns .

Sylnylon is MUCH stronger than people give it credit for... Couple that with
he slippery surface and it holds up much better...  I have used both, though
not on the pct
