Rain Wear

[coaldigger]

What do you think about Frogg Toggs ? I have a long rain coat in camo that I got as a gift. But I have not had to use it yet. It feels like it's made of paper Are these things tuff & durable or is this something that will snag & rip very easy ?

It's great if you want light weight, but it will rip easily. Perfect for backup/cya on a summer hike or to keep in your vehicle or boat. The ultralight types use them all the time, but nobody is bushwhacking in them.

DaleW's comments agree with my limited experience (one set torn to tatters ) and all the literature.

depends how you bushwack...if your hacking your way thru the woods and sliding over , under logs and scraping up against em, the rainsuit will tear.

If you hack you way thru the woods and move with precision and avoid the above wear and tear, you wont rip em.

Another region of the world where the God Murphy is unknown!

"move with precision"
