Hi Lars,

If you went with option 2, might you also take a poncho-tarp for a dual-use shelter rainwear option? That would give you garments' breathability in less wet conditions with the poncho as backup to protect you and your pack during downpours, as well as providing a shelter option if needed.

I've never found a perfect way to stay dry in chronic rain lasting days, despite all our hightech fabrics.

Sounds like a great trip!
