I am starting a LASH on May 2 on the AT and headed to Katahdin. I have hiked thru PA in May before and it was chilly and wet. Very wet.
I am planning on starting with a Frogg Toggs ultra lite jacket with a rain kilt. I like the kilt cause of air flow. I have hiked in a poncho and a kilt on the AT for many miles. Never a Frogg Toggs. I know it may get beat up but $20 get a new one.
I have rain pants that i will be mailing to Hanover since I think they will be needed in the Whites. Wind, chill factor possibilities.
I also own a Marmot Precip. Do i need a heavier weight rain jacket like the precip in the whites? I could mail it also. Would I need either of these any earlier?
I plan on being in Hanover somewhere last week in July.
I have been going back and forth on this issue for awhile. Any info would be appreciated.
