[pct-l] frogg toggs

[m.karon at comcast.net (Marshall Karon)]

Well, I love my Frogg Toggs. I got the suit - separate tops with zipper down 
the front and bottoms. Weighs about 8 oz each. They aren't fashionable and 
have a terrible fit. The sizes are generally huge. I had to send some back 
because they were too big. I now use a Large top and a Small bottom (and I'm 
really not small). They shed water quite well, keep the wind out, are warm 
to the touch on the skin, but they also breathe very well if you don't run 
in them. So, it keeps me dry and warm, but not hot. They abrade very easily, 
so you don't want to be dragging them around or sitting down much. I haven't 
had the shoulders wear through at all. They also are not super 
compressible - but no worse than Gore-Tex. For around $80 for the set, you 
can't go wrong. But, I think the new Epic fabric is probably better (and 
more expensive).
