Rain, rain, crappy rain,what rain gear for calling
Posted: Thu Jun 19, 2014 11:04 amI Hate rain.
What do you guys use . I have water proof stuff but it's for -20*. Just is no good for warmer weather. I have Gore-Tex rain coat and pants but they just aren't right. The dampness still gets in and is very uncomfortable, and the MUD seams to get every were on them. I have vinyl top and bottoms, there blue , and you get just as wet on the in side as you would in the rain. My Kenetrek boot are my winter ones , there water proof but hot and heavy when wet. I spray the sole with silicon to help release the mud, only works for a short time. I would want something Kinda light in a prairie camo but still heave enough for use in the brush, and not feel like being rapped in a baggie. And as with any thing I have it needs to be affordable fixed income retired kind a thing... SOOOO. what do you use?
I talked with my boy, he is a wild fire fighter, and he said that his crew all carry "Frogg Toggs" in there packs. There very light and keep you dry inside and out. They tend to wear out in one season but $60 can get you top and bottoms. A recommendation like that tells me I'm getting a set of camo Frogg Toggs ! Got some pants in AP camo . I'd hate to see the monster that wears a large... I got Med and there 8" to long, good thing the wife is a fabulous seamstress. Anyway there very light but a bit "crinkly" sounding. Only $19 found a jacket too but there $45 I'll have to get it next week. NOW All I need is some time to try'm out. What's on your back ?
