Please direct me to conversations where that topic has been covered. Plan B is a poncho tarp with chaps. The use is in the higher parts of the Southwest so mostly dry with daily thunderstorms in late summer or days of drizzle in the winter. Garment preferences include pit zips and an interior that feels okay against bare skin. I expect to have to choose between weight, durability, and waterproofness. Others with more experience have been on this path before me, so I'm asking for your opinions.
