Been out of backpacking for 15 years or so.
Coming back fast and hard.
My breif time on WB has brought me into the modern age of equipement.
Cannot believe how light equipment has become.
Please riddle me this...why are rain gear so freaking bright.
I am not looking for camo but good Lord...it does not have to be bright blue, orange, red, yellow and God forbid black.
My research has brought me to two specific jackets, the Mica and (preferred) the Helium but I cannot bring myself to wear the offered colors.
Insight on colors is greatly appreciated.
Have read most prefer muted colors (myself included).
With all th positive reviews of these jackets what was your intended use?
Or do you just overlook the color as function is the main concern.
Sorry if this came off as more of a rant. I did not mean for it to.
Is it the limited color range of these specific fabrics?
Do any of you guys or gals wear bright colors in the woods?
I do understand the use of bright colors in winter wonderland.
Thanks
