My husband and I are novice packbackers and he urged that we needed to have rain gear. My last packing was 30 years ago, during a long drought in Southern California - so what do I know about rain? He was right, I bought the Sierra Designs Hurricane Parka and it was a lifesaver! On our 4th trip, this Oct. in King's Canyon, it started raining at 3 am, and rained continuously until we reached the car many hours later. My parka kept me warm, dry and comfortable. (At least, as warm as possible!) We felt the trip was totally successful, in spite of the rain. I know that I would not have felt as good about the trip if I'd had to break camp and hike out in wet jeans!
