How to Enjoy Hiking in the Rain!

Hiking in the rain has many benefits if you have the right gear! Here are the principles I've used to choose the gear I currently use. IMPORTANT NOTE: I have only recently become aware of the danger and widespread use of PFAS chemicals in the DWR coating of much rain gear. This is mostly a problem during the manufacturing process - so if you have PFAS gear, the damage has pretty much already been done. Thankfully, several companies are already PFAS free, and have committed to avoiding the chemical in their future products. So when it comes time for replacement, I strongly urge everyone to go PFAS free! 0:00 Why hike in the rain? 0:34 Rain Jacket Considerations 3:27 Waterproof Materials 5:00 Rain Pants 6:28 Rain Kilts 7:08 Waterproof Gloves 7:22 Waterproof Shoes 8:01 Waterproof Socks ----- GEAR RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THIS VIDEO ----- Your Gear is Poisoning You!
