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

[shellydhale at earthlink.net (Shelly Hale)]

I ended up doing that in Erwin (like I've said...what? ...3 times now?
LOL).  But, honest to goodness there were buckets of the stuff falling from
the sky with me in their cross hairs!!!  LOL

It felt really good to cool down a little from the shower (er...baptism
standing up...lol).  But, I got chilled not too long after stopping.  I
could literally feel my body temp falling as the seconds ticked by.  I was
hiking with my daughter and her feet were hurting her.  It's not like I
could keep on going.

So, I figure I need to invest in something for such situations.

had wanted to ask everyone what they use for rain gear.   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.
