I use Aussie local brands Mountain Design Stratus rain jacket it use PERTEX Shield 2.5 Layer 20K waterproof, it survive the monsoon rain when I ride motor bike going home for 8 hours keeping me dry

Do you need to take your shoes off to put on the rain pant.

[@joe_outdoors_australia]

It may be a bit tight, I didn’t try as I was fearful of tearing the pants .. My hiking boots are bulky, so I removed them each time.

Hi Joe, what do you use to hold the water bottle at your chest? Trying to find something similair online

[@joe_outdoors_australia]

Hi Carole, I use the zpacks water bottle sleeve, it’s very lightweight and I find it convenient to grab a drink while on the go

[@austinsmith3109]

How tall are you? Looking for a comparison. Thanks!

[@joe_outdoors_australia]

Hi Austin, I’m 6ft tall, hope that helps. Cheers, Joe

Does this jacket have one or two zipper pulls on the pit-zips?

[@joe_outdoors_australia]

It has one zipper for each pit zip

@@joe_outdoors_australia thanks man!

Is this the rain gear you used on the Grampians Peaks Trail?

[@joe_outdoors_australia]

Hi Sean, yes, and they worked extremely well; got some good use out of them on this hike - especially day two - periods of heavy rain and very windy - the jacket and pants held up extremely well. Being so thin, I was sceptical, but happy with the investment after using them on trail. It was very cold and windy most days, either in the morning or afternoon - so I wore the jacket lots and pants occasionally for some warmth, again, performed really good for wind protection as well as rain.

Yeah I bought it just for urban trekking due to pit zips but even with the pit zips open it's still a sauna inside I hate it how it rains in Sydney and still warm I walk to work 45 minutes and it's a choice of being wet from rain or wet from sweat

[@joe_outdoors_australia]

I feel your pain; it’s exactly the same when hiking on trail 😑 Very difficult to regulate body heat and keep dry at the same time.

Umbrella...?
