"Something else that's important in addition to having a rain jacket, is, you've got to have rain pants. I wouldn't say that they're as important. Because, I mean, if it, unless it's really, really, coming down hard, your legs aren't going to get that wet, and if it's warm outside, you probably don't have to worry about it too much. But, if you're going up in the high, high, mountains and it's going to be cold and wet, you definitely do need to bring your rain pants. They're also really, really good in case of snow. You can walk through snow. A lot of them wad up into a really, really small pocket, like inside the rain pants. If, you need to make sure that you have ones that fit. If they're too big, they're going to be like blowing all over the place, and, and they're not going to fit right, and so water can get inside of them, basically. Also, it's really good if you get rain pants that have the, the Velcro and the zippers on the side. The zippers on the side helps so that you can put on the rain pants, with your boots already on, so you don't have to stop and take all your boots off. So, you put your rain pants on, you zip them down, and then you can actually Velcro it as tight as you can, and that way you won't get your pant leg blowing up and water pouring in the top of your boots."
