There was one night I slept in my Froggs Toggs in extreme cold, but I didn't 
notice the crinkling noise, I was shivering too much.  : )

Frogg Toggs are the best, lightweight, affordable and they work.  I used my 
quite frequently on the northern half of the PCT and thought they preformed 
beautifully.  They kept me dry, warm, blocked the wind and breathed as well 
as any Gore-Tex.  If you happen to puncture them, as I did with a hiking 
pole, a little duct tape and they're as good as new. I'm looking to get 
another 3000 miles out of my set and I think they'll make it.


Yea, they look like clown pants, but after wearing them awhile, I didn't 
notice any noise.
