[at-l] What do you use as rain gear?

[daveh at psknet.com (David Hix)]

As it is it covers me and my pack, I only use it for backpacking; not on work
trips, where I am w/o pack more than w/ pack.

Until recently, I could more of less second Saunterer's observation that Ed
seems to have put some sort of charm on it, as it never rained really-really
heave when I carried it on the trail.  My testing had been a number of short
backyard test in heavy rain and some in relatively light showers on the trail.

However, recently on a three day hike we had very heavy rain the first day
out.  It worked great.

So, now I can report success in prolonged very heavy rain on the trail.

Well...it's rainin' again.  The pitter patter of drops reminded me that I had
wanted to ask everyone what they use for rain gear.  I'm not too partial to
umbrellas on the trail.  They seem to get in the way more than anything.  What
I'm really interested in are jacket and pant & other such gear reviews.  Has
anyone tried the Packa yet?  I would like to hear more about it.
