[pct-l] cold weather clothes



I didn't see any rain pants on your list,   I've been tyring to decide if they are worth the weight.  After not carrying them what do you think?  I have a set of red ledge pants but never wear them unless I'm in a downpour. 
 
How many times did you get rained on and wish you had the pants?

, they were perfectly adequate:

Thermal top and tights
Long sleeve shirt
T-shirt
Long pants
Shorts
3 pair of socks
Underwear
Primaloft pullover
Warm hat
Liner gloves
Bandanna
Sun hat
Frogg Toggs anorak
Sunglasses

On a usual day I'd wear the pants and long shirt. I switched to
shorts after my pants exploded during the ford of Kerrick Creek, two
days north of Tuolumne. In South Lake Tahoe, I switched to the 
T-shirt. Some
mornings I would 
leave camp with my thermals still on, though they were usually gone by 
10 or 11. Temperatures in the lows 20s at night up high, low 30s lower 
down. If you sleep lower down, in the meadows, you'll have to pay more 
attention to bears and mosquitoes. Higher up, its colder, prettier, and 
you have less worries.
