One of the reasons I hike is so I don't have to wear the danged things!  Se=

 pant instead. Much warmer and more comfortable. Plus, you get a big run in=
 them and suddenly they have not only lost their insulating ability, but th=
ey are really uncomfortable as well.  With today's high tech fibers, I thin=
k you're better off wearing garments made for their insulating properties.
