" Hi! My name is Dan and I am here with Expert Village. Today we are going to talk abut rain gear. When fitting for rain gear, you want it to be fairly form fitting and yet able to fit over one layer you can conceivably be wearing underneath it. This is true for both of your tops and your bottoms. One nice feature with summering gear is that it will have a zipper on the leg. By having this zipper, it allows you to slide your leg inside your pants without having to take off your shoes. Often times, there will be a mesh pocket inside of our rain gear which you can use for storing it when not in use. Ideally your rain gear will be very light and thin and quite packagem so that it takes up as little space and weight in your pack. There are a number of different materials; some are laminates and some like gortex, has a porous membrane that allows water /vapor to exit but water molecules cannot go through. "
