Apart from what's on my back there will be a few pieces of clothing to carry. First, silk underwear for sleeping and extra warmth, if needed, while hiking. It it's not raining the DriDucks Micropore Rainsuit will be stuffed into my pack. There will be extra socks to carry, plus another pair(green) to be used only for sleeping. Finally, immitation Crocs to wear around camp as well as for fording streams. The rain suit is lightweight and not all that strong. I'm taking some duct tape to patch myself, should I stick a hole in them. I'm planning to only wear the rain pants when stopped at camp, rather than hiking in them. Also Included To keep the clothing organized and dry, I have a Granite Gear Stuff sack (size #3), which I'll use for the underwear and socks.

DriDucks Micropore Rainsuit Review
Rips soon developed near the ankles of the pants once I was hiking in snow. I certainly wasn’t expecting these to last but I did keep the pants virtually all the way to Mt Katahdin after converting the pants into shorts. These repelled the water on the tree branches that would hang over the trail which would often make my ExOffico shorts completely wet. Holes also developed in the arms when I snagged tree branches. Small patches of duct tape worked well on those occasions. After continued rain in Maine, these began to really smell and at that point I discarded them. I would probably take a stronger rain coat and not carry a wind jacket. |
