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

Au contraire.  Any pack cover that loops, folds or hooks, under the pack is
useless.  What is needed is a straight fall and open bottom as used by the
trash bag and one design made by Outdoor Research.  I don't have a model
number or name on mine, but it has worked well for me, where others have
simply bathed my sleeping bag.

Down side?  It's "heavy" at 8 ounces.  Up side, it works for me.  Still, the
sleeping bag and warm clothing gets packed in it's own waterproof bags.

gear but Sam just won't let it get into his thick canine head that some
things need gentle treatment! ;-)
