Okay, I've been thinking about this idea over the last few months.
Basically, I like walking. And I like walking when its raining. I have a decent waterproof coat
The trouble is, I hate waterproof overtrousers. I don't like wearing them all the time 'just in case', and have found it a pain to put them on in a hurry when its raining
However, I like to have my legs covered because sooner or later the water running of my Jacket soaks through my trouser legs. I nearly always wear gaiters so its only really a problem for my upper legs.
So, what I was thinking was that a Waterproof wraparound kilt might be ideal.
Basically a rectangular piece of Gore Tex or whatever that can be pulled out of the pack, wrapped around the waist and fastened to cover the area between my knees and the bottom of my coat.
Waterproof, and very breathable. Also I was thinking that it could be used as a groundsheet for underneath the tarp.
Just wondering what you guys thought of the idea?
