FLCC> Rain gear

[eric smith]

My own impressions are that how well "breathable" rain gear works 
depends a lot on the level of sweat production by the person wearing it. 
  There is a lot of stuff out there that works pretty well for "average" 
levels of sweat production.  I'm probably well up at the 95th percentile 
or above, and my clothing ends up pretty well drenched on a clear, low 
humidity day once the temperature gets up over about 65 or 70 degrees, 
without any water-retardant layer, and regardless of what a great job 
the high-tech material is supposed to do about wicking.  So don't get 
your hopes up too high if you are a profuse sweater.
