[at-l] gear - heard about Frogg Toggs?

["Cora Drake" <cora_drake@hotmail.com>]

On a cool, windy day, I popped my shivering self into a friend's Frogg Toggs 
jacket and was suddenly warm.  The thing's so light it's hard to toss it to 
someone, and we couldn't get it to accept water no matter how hard we rubbed 
it in.

About $70 for pants (w/boot zips) and hooded jacket, bad spots are how it 
can catch fire if actually touched by flame, MELT where ALCOHOL is spilled 
on it, and rip if you really try hard.  The set stuffs into a gallon 
ziplock, weighs less than a pound, cuts all but the strongest wind, and is 
soft enough to sleep in.

Having noticed that my pricey Goretex is bending the hanger it hangs on, I'm 
pretty tempted.
