[pct-l] frogg toggs
Frogg Toggs worked very well with the weeklong+ downpour that I experienced in Washington this past Aug/Sept. As long as I kept moving I stayed pretty warm but did have some serious chaffing in the crotch. Duct tape is a wonderous cure - until you need to take it off. I did have to reroute because of high water crossing and those trails were NOT PCT caliber and ended up ripping the bottoms pretty badly. IF you stay on the trail they should be fine.

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).
