>>2853845Wool, even dense ones like the loden from BMA (the one I have), will not give you enough protection against the rain; hell not even the wet snow given enough time. Combine it with their canvas anorak and treat it, or just get a cheap anorak from a Scandinavian surplus store and treat those as well. I use birch bark oil because I'm poor. Takes an eternity to produce in large amount and decreases the breathability, but it has to be done. You can also use a rain poncho like the Snugpak, it held up a lot better than the other rain ponchos I had. Sucks at strong wind, so tie it around your waist.
