Here is another version of it :I bought yesterday, a pair of 2 nd hand rain pants, while looking at clothes to wear on my upcoming Camino. Its fancy rainpants but they are heavy ! It made me think, how can I rework/do some sewing to this rain pants, to only use the bottom part of it, and cut on weight in my back. I stumbled across several You Tube videos on how to quickly make a Rain Skirt. Here are 2 You Tube videos :How practical will this be on the Camino Frances and how can I save weight on this, even more ? I will have lots of room in my backpack, I am not concerned too much about a little bit of extra weight. Any helpful tips will be much appreciated. I am going to give back and exchange the 2nd hand fancy rain pants, its too heavy.
Another potential use for Tyvek building wrap is rain gear (less costly than Frogs gear). A friend of mine walked the Appalachian Trail and met a fellow, nicknamed Tyvek because he made his clothes, backpack, hat, out of Tyvek. It's not just for buildings anymore.
When you walk with a skirt/kilt, you will get excellent air flow under the skirt. I cannot see how you argue, that it will get you wetter under your skirt ? I think you are mis understanding the concept of walking in a skirt.Walking in a plastic bag , no matter how cold it is , will only get you wetter inside it than outside .
We use Tyvek for a ground sheet under our tent when backpacking, and it works well, but be sure to wash it (suggest in the machine) beforehand because otherwise it is VERY noisy.This thread is great. At college football games, my wife and I use two 55 gallon plastic drum liners, cut down the sides. One covers 4 seats with a bit of wraparound to keep our lower sections dry, #2 wraps around a few people up top and retains heat, keeps us dry. Use the bag concept and you won't look back as far as your lower half goes. I have also seen people wear ziplock type gallon or so bags to keep their hat dry.
