Re: Breatheable, lightweight, packable rain gear + telescoping trekking poles
I don’t have any Kuiu, Sitka, or FirstLite rain gear, but I have an Arc’teryx Beta AR, so I can speak to that option.
If you’re expecting to withstand several days of deluge without an opportunity to dry out in between, prepare to be disappointed (and wet).
I wear my Beta while waterfowling, which I typically choose to do in the rainiest conditions possible, and I’ll get successive days out of it, no problem. The key there is that I bring it home to dry overnight.
If it cant be done with one shot, it shouldn't be done.
