>>542920> Opinions on using a light rain cloak (that opens in the front) instead?I've got a traditional style rubberized rain coat that I keep stashed in my truck in case I've got to change a tire or something in the pouring rain and while it's true you can keep the front open for ventilation, that kinda defeats the purpose if its raining and its still made from rubberized, non-breathable material and will be a sweat box unless you're just standing around.
>>543346> oh lookIts a non-breathable plastic sweat bag that will flap around while snagging and tearing on every twig and branch in sight.
>>543661> your fatDoesn't matter how skinny you are, if it isn't made from a GoreTex-like BREATHABLE material, you'll sweat your ass off if you do any kinda exertion while wearing it.
There is literally no reason to not own a GoreTex type jacket, the material technology is vastly superior to old style ponchos and rain coats and can be bought for cheep nowadays.
