But just try to find one". <br /><br />I am totally agree with the both statements! After several folding kayak trips in Russia and canoe trips here at Boundary Waters I concluded that the outer shell does not need to be waterproof, but quick drying is a must! Work hard at day time even at rainy weather, but sleep warm and dry! Add light high-tech "tarp" and you are comfortable around your morning-evening kitchen time also. In Russia I used a home-made anorak from an available (somewhat heavy, but breathable)fabrics, but here in the US I failed to find the right one, so I ended up with light and breathable jackets of not-anorak style, i.e. short ones with a front full length zipper. The anorak you designed/presented looks very interesting. Thanks!Glebnoreply@blogger.com
