Re: Best Raingear? Orvis Silver Label

[Leland Miyawaki]

Hey, for what it's worth, I wear an old StreamLine Q-Nimbus wading jacket. It's mesh lined and has neoprene, velcro sleeves, hood and heavy duty zipper with velro flap. They don't make 'em like this one anymore. And when it get's really wet after a few days of rain, I throw it in the dryer and all it's repelancy returns just like new.

I just fell off my chair when I learned that the President-Elect of the
Washington Fly Fishing Club is wearing an Orvis Silver Label rain jacket
instead of the Patagonia SST.  In particular when he says, "the Orvis
breathable fabric isn't quite as efficient as Gore-Tex in transmitting
vapor."
He must not have the same problem as Leland!    :-)   :-)   :-)
Early in 2003, I suspect Richard will either be wearing a Patagonia SST or
he will be fishing with a Heritage rod, to be consistent.
