I've been backpacking in earnest for a good year or so now and I have tried different methods of coaxing with rain. I've gone the stay as dry as possible route and I have just said the hell with it and not cared. When I go full rain gear, I tend to sweat ridiculous amounts (yes, even with "breathable" fabrics). When I just rely on my synthetic clothing to dry quickly when the rain stops, obviously I'm still miserable. How do most people opt to deal with the rain? Do you tend to do everything possible to keep your skin and clothes dry or do you just accept the fact that you're going to be wet. Also, how do you go about achieving this, especially if you try to keep dry?
