Yeah, what's up with you guys and the "gaiters with shorts" look? I've seen it on a few PNW people, and never on anyone from anywhere else?
Personally, I despise the sweat factories, and only wear them when I'm snow-slogging in crampons.

Indeed, that sucks -- get soaked on the approach trail, then get frozen by the wind above treeline. But based on my limited experience getting PWNed in the PNW, I would want something more like rain pants, since the teeming dew-infested undergrowth was rarely only knee-high. How do you people deal with that stuff?
