The vast majority of my hiking has been in Colorado, which is generally dry, even when it snows (champagne powder anyone?). Rain is typically sporadic, so when solid rain is not in the forecast, I bring a poncho as raingear and shelter.

I'm also a big fan of wind shirts, because CO is also windy. So a windshirt always comes with me, rain or shine.

My question today is; does anyone else wear a windshirt underneath a poncho when it's raining?
I've done this a few times, since my ponchos don't cover my arms and I definitely want to use poles when it's raining and slippery. After a few minutes, the arms wet through and get cold.

I'm considering spraying a heavy layer of DWR onto the sleeves of the windshirt to see if that will mitigate the wet-through, but leave the torso area breathable.
