[QUOTE="LRNut, post: 3006671, member: 3230"] I have Sitka raingear; the best thing about it no one has mentioned is that has no internal lining that can soak up water. I have a Cabelas jacket that is notorious for wicking water from the wrist area. I don't like to sweat, so depending on the temp, I bring two skin layer shirts. I hike in one. When I get to where I am going to glass, I take it off (assuming it is wet with sweat) and put on the dry one. I hang the wet one on a bush to dry. When I am off hiking again, I put on the wet one. One other thing I do: if it is cool (not cold) and raining and I am hiking, I put on my rain parka with nothing underneath. You don't need to get fancy. When I sheep hunted in AK, I brought two polypro tops and bottoms, rain paints and parka, a warm layer, a cotton t shirt (I know, don't bring cotton), and hiking shorts. If was warm, I hiked with the t shirt and shorts. Cooler temps, I put on top and bottom poly then pulled shorts over. Windy or raining; put on the rain paints and parka. Cold - put on the warm inner layer. [/QUOTE]
