Re: Re: Non-breathable raingear.

Ed,
 Thanks for the idea. Am I right in assuming that a cagoule comes down to about 
knee level?  If so this sounds great for rain but a bit cumbersome when you use 
it just as a wind shell, when normal jacket length would be more convenient.

How about making the bottom part removable (like the legs on covertible pants).

  My thinking is that -- with the open bottom and open pit zips -- the cagoule
  should ventilate pretty well. With the pit zips closed I can use it to
  replace the wind shell that I now carry. The cagoule's longer length should
  eliminate the need for rain pants at milder temps.
