Will -
Ginny uses one for winter trips and it works great.  The downside is
that it's HEAVY.   What we normally use is the Camp Trails pack
cover that places like Campmor sell.   I used one when I thruhiked
in 92.  We both used them last weekend for an overnight bushwhack
through the worst briars I've seen in a lot of years and they held up
just fine (We were scouting a new trail section for the Mid State
Trail in PA).  I don't have a new catalog with me, but last year
Campmor sold them for $16.99.

Walk softly,
Jim
