Don't forget bike fenders! I just finished a week long tour in Oregon. We had one day of rain. I had no rain gear, oops I forgot to bring it! The air temperature was warm enough for me not to get cold, and my fenders kept my feet and Keen cycling sandals mostly dry. My fenders are full fenders with mud guards and really do help keep me and my gear dry. I recently had to ride all day in the rain on my road bike with no fenders and whined the whole time about not having my LHT w/fenders. I was pouring water out of my shoes when we got to the finish.

The tour leader showed us some waterproof booties that I think were from PI. Their only drawback was they didn't have any opening for cleats. Good luck with your gear hunt and enjoy those LHT'er they are GREAT bikes. bikerHen
