I have a full rain "suit" (jacket, pants, gators, pack cover) that I use on a regular basis. I am trying to cut unnecessary gear for my thru next year so I am not having to ditch useless stuff. That being said, I know a jacket and pack cover are pretty important. What about rain pants and gators?
I'm thinking I can forego the gators because I don't use them a whole lot now, but have no idea how vital pants are.
Thoughts and wisdom?
