Not sure if there has been a thread on this already, but I'm checking to see if there is anyone out there who would share thier experience using rain chaps.
I've already accepted the fact that 'waterproof/breathable' rain gear has some serious limitations. I only bring a poncho tarp under most three season situations anyway (unless I know there will be very low miles).
I'm interested in the Spinnchaps offered by Gossamer Gear. http://www.gossamergear.com/cgi-bin/...inn_Chaps.html They weigh less than two ounces.
Given the fact that waterproof/breathable fabrics perform very poorly after multiple use, is it crazy to consider this option?
Do you give up durability? Sure. But saving 10 ounces for $45.00 sounds mighty tempting to me.
What are your thoughts?
