Fw: [at-l] Rain Gear

Look for the packa in the not too distant future to be available in
breathable fabric for the parka section. I already have 1 made from
duravent (frogg toggs) as a prototype, but haven't had the opportunity to
really see if the breathability makes a difference. I've never been a fan
of breathable fabrics so I personally feel it will not be worth the
increased cost. I feel large vents provide much better body temperature
control, but lots of people have requested a breathable fabric packa, so
I'm investigating it. Thanks for everyone's help and recommendations.
