The kilt packs down to nothing and very very light weight. Far better than carrying rain trousers at 5 times plus for weight. The kilt is very easy to use quickly and no need to take boots off. A great idea that keeps you dry with good quality materials and finish. Arrived quickly when ordered.

LOVED the poncho on my 500 mile section of the PCT this year... it's one of my top 5 favorite pieces of gear!!! I used it in a downpour at the northern terminus as I completed 7 years of section hiking the PCT.

Perfect for the summer rain. Nice and light for warmer rains, and the zipper gives more room for a longer stride and some extra circulation.

Protect your backpack from pouring rain and muddy ground with our Pack Cover. Our pack cover is an ultralight option to keep your backpack dry, including the outside pockets. It includes an elastic clip to secure it from storm winds.

Consider a Pack Liner as an alternative, if you don't mind your outer pockets getting wet.

They performed quite well on first try hiking in snow and rain mix. Hands were warm and dry while hiking with trekking poles.

NRS HydroSkin® Gloves are perfect for hikers looking to cut the chill without sacrificing grip or feel. Great in the rain, snow, or other wet cold conditions, the thin neoprene material insulates and protects your hands even when wet. It allows you the enhanced mobility to easily pitch your tent in the rain or snow, or breakdown and pack up your cold wet tent the morning after a rainy night.

These also make excellent winter gloves for shoveling snow or scraping ice off your car, while small enough to fit in your jacket pocket. Combine them with Vertice Rain Mitts as a shell to keep them dry, and they can handle even arctic temperatures.

Keep your toes warm when wet too with NRS HydroSkin Socks.

Is your rain gear beginning to let you down?  Refresh your clothes with the easy to use and environmentally friendly Granger's Repel Plus DWR spray. This convenient spray-on solution is designed to safeguard your gear from the elements by renewing the water-repellent coating on technical gear like our Vertice Rain Gear.

Simply clean your gear, dry it, spray on Granger's Repel Plus, and let it dry. It's that easy to be fully protected from weather once again.

Restore your weathered rain gear to its former glory. Granger's Wash+Repel revitalizes the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) on your rain gear while washing it at the same time. DWR allows rain, snow, and other moisture to bead up and roll off your gear rather than absorbing into the shell fabric. This 300 ml bottle is enough for three loads of rain gear.

Rain gear should only be washed as needed, after a few trips, or if you notice the DWR not repelling water as well as when new.

Volume: 10 fl oz (300 ml)

It was great at blocking the sun and flexible in the wind. I used it for hours in a rain storm yesterday and it was so light I barely noticed I was holding it that long. I plan to bring this umbrella everywhere.
