Hey, I hate to nitpick because you give such great advice.

Rain proof ?? Nothing you wear is rain proof except for rubber. And I don't think you want to walk in rubber jackets or boots.

This is what I tell people on long distance hikes - that includes backpacking as well as trekking like the Camino.

It doesn't matter how wet you are when you are walking during the day as long as you are warm and dry at night.

Point well-taken. I should have just clarified that some garments keep out more water than others!
