RE: Rivers West Gear
I gotta a story about this Rivers West stuff. Tuesday I went out about 11 a.m. to scout 3 or 4 areas and it had been raining all day so I wore my Rivers West with just a very thin baselayer underneath. I pulled the pant legs over my boots so no rain would get in my boots. Well around 3:00 p.m. I went to cross a 20 ft wide slough that was about 12" deep in most parts. I stepped in a hole that was covered with leaves and looked flat with the rest of the slough and went in about knee water just with my left leg. I expected water to come pouring in but as I lifted my boot out and walked on across my foot remained dry. I guess the water sucked the pant leg tight to my boots when I went in and sealed off. Truly is good stuff. And I gotta add I didn't sweat that much in it, I just got to remember if I walk with it on, dress very lightly underneath.
