I have REI sahara convertible pants, which are 100% nylon and have seemed to hold up pretty well in the 3 days of rain hiking I've done so far with them. Didn't have to use my rain pants, which are 9oz and fairly bulky. So should I even bring the rain pants on my thru, or will I be okay with just the convertible pants?
I'm antsy as hell waiting for this trip.
