      As usual, I am putting in a plug for the undervalued rain skirt for the bottom half, whether you select a poncho or jacket for the top. They are easy on/off, weigh nothing, can be purchased very cheaply, don't cause the same sweat issues as rain...

      Absolutely agree with C clearly. My raingear is integral with cold and wind protection, especially during my last CF in April/May this year. It was the coldest (multiple days below freezing in the morning), windiest (multiple days with steady...
