<br>Had three guys in a boat, BAD, BAD blow came on quickly, had to run the long way back behind an island to even reach the "mother ship." Horizontal sleet/snow, technical name is graupel, hurt bad, as I had ti face the weather to get us out.
<br>
<br>Two of us had full Tundra Fleece, and were 100% dry and warm enough. One was half TF, half Helley and did ok, but was getting real cold by the time we got back and had taken enough saltwater and rain down the neck that he was soaked. The last had a light rain gear outfit over mixed fleece and cotton. He was soaked to the bone and starting to get into trouble.
<br>
<br>That was the best test I can imagine for rain gear, and I considered it a complete pass. Internal moisture and the water taken down the neck evaporated quickly, and the rest did exactly as it should. I'm sold on it.
