Hey all, I'm new here. Im doing a JMT trip in aug and was trying to start buying gear now to i don't have to drop a bunch of cash before the trip.
I was wondering you thoughts on whether to bring a lightweight rain slicker or get a rain poncho similar to this one?

and for layers I was going to do a mid to heavy fleece jacket and fleece pants, hat, gloves.
I like the idea of the poncho cus it will cover my pack too.. that way i don't have to bring jacket and pack cover..
thx
