Hiked 10 miles on Saturday in the rain wearing fleece outer and inner layers. Stayed warm and dry underneath. Everyone else I saw had goretex rain gear. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each in the rain? I have always felt that I would abudantly sweat in goretex, even though it's supposed to be breathable? Does wet fleece eventually lose its insulation qualities?
The hike on Saturday was Sherburn Pass Trail to summit of Pico around to Jungle Junction, south on the AT/Longtrail to Bucklin Trail to Brewer's Corner. It rained almost the entire hike, very, very wet trails-flowing water, etc, the wind was minimal.
