FLCC> Rain gear

[Bill Goffe]

I've got some equipment from Showers Pass http://www.showerspass.com/ and
it seems to work fairly well. At least for me, past ~70% of max heart rate
I do get damp on the inside, but perhaps I sweat more than most (I've read
that there is quite a variation in sweat rates). This dampness is reduced
noticeably if I unzip the underarm openings. Also, their jacket is on the
large size when rolled up -- it isn't nearly so small as some jackets. It
just barely fits in a jersey pocket.

I think Glenn carries them.

| "For a correspondent who has covered a half dozen armed conflicts,        |
| including the war in Iraq since its start in March 2003, the fighting     |
| seen while traveling with a frontline unit in Falluja was a qualitatively |
| different experience, a leap into a different kind of battle. ...         |
| Nothing in the combat I saw even remotely resembled the scenes regularly  |
| flashed across movie screens; even so, they often seemed no more real."   |

|     Young Marines Saw the Savagery of an Urban War," New York Times,      |
