Hi -
I am planning a 5 week thruhike (not on the AT, but CT - thought that's not fully relevant). I would like to hear from people who don't bring rain pants. I believe a rain jacket is important, but I can't convince myself either way about rainpants.
Also, if anyone has relatively cheap (no more than $150) UL rain pants recommendations, I'll greatly appreciate them. UL would have to be approximately 6 oz or less. (I have the marmot precip and some heavy event ones by rei)
THANKS!
