I love the large Saddleack, Erl. So easy to pack, strap tent et al on top, and still access everything. When I add panniers for longer and/or colder trips, I'll stuff the least frequently used items in them as they are the most challenging to both access and remember what is where. WIth the large Saddlesack, it's all in one place and easy to access and thus uses far less brain energy (a BIG deal for my wimpy noggin).
My Cotton Analogy rain gear by Hilltrek is due to arrive this week. I am looking forward to testing it out in our current "monsoon" season we are having (frequent boomers that dump a lot of rain and or hail). It's supposed to breathe as well as single layer ventile, but has a liner that works like fur to actively put any moisture that gets through back out. So, perfect for aerobic activity in wet and cold. My single layer ventile soaks through (made by Orvis and I hacked it up to make it lighter, so it's not made by a ventile specialist company and I may have diminished it's effectiveness with my hacks). The new stuff is tested for 3 cm of rain per hour, which my current jacket definitely soaks through with. It's median cost for a quality Goretex jacket, should be equally effective and far more breathable, thus keeping me dryer.
