>>1250367If you're just going to make up a fantasy world of your own delusions to live in, that's fine. Don't expect to be taken seriously when you try to push your delusions, though. Let's dissect some of the crazy shit you're saying.
>Most people I see on the trail are wearing t-shirts or similar..What are you referring to? Do you think that just because someone is wearing a t-shirt when it's sunny they don't bother staying dry when it rains? That's irrational.
>Most trails are under a canopy and you don't get that much rain even when it's pouring. What is "most"? Do you live in a tropical rainforest? This definitely isn't true in the desert or in the mountains. In temperate forests, just because the trail has trees overhead does not mean you won't get wet when it rains.
>People only wear rain gear when they've stopped walking or are out in the open. No, you are thinking of cold weather insulation. It would be pointless to go out of your way to put on a rain jacket AFTER you've gotten wet. The point of rain gear is to keep you dry.
>And if you found a way to wake up in the rain, pack up in the walk all day in the rain, set up camp in the rain and still be dry I'd love to hear it.I already posted some advice
>>1249677 >>1249678. You can't ever stay 100% dry if it's raining all day long. That's not a reason to totally give up on your rain gear. If done properly, you will stay 85-95% dry, which is enough to keep you warm. If you just throw your rain gear away and get 100% wet, you will definitely get cold.
>Moving =/= hiking for 8+ hours with a pack.. You will sweat, unless you are a rarity.No, that is what I meant. I can only guess that you've never actually used Gore-Tex, or if you have, you've only used it in a tropical rainforest and don't know how to use the built-in armpit vents. In almost all temperate environments, sweating a little or a lot inside a rain jacket will not equal the amount of wetness you'd experience without a rain jacket at all.
