I started this group as a way for other trail junkies and backpackers from around the North East and beyond to get together and enjoy the outdoors. For the entire ~500 miles of my 2013 Appalachian Trail section hike I chose to hammock camp. Being a hammock fan for a couple of years prior, it was during those miles that I really became passionate about hammocks. During that same year I bought a sewing machine, took several classes, and started making my own hammocks for fun. If you're a hammocker or a ground dweller, come and join us on day hike or a multiple-day backpacking trip where you will meet new outdoor buddies and make some new trail friends.

More specifically, it is a silicon impregnated nylon skirt that keeps the bulk of moisture off of your lower body, while providing ease of movement and great ventilation.The Rain Kilt easily adjusts at the waist (24" to 54") by tensioning the flat elastic band. Sizing: if you are under 5'8 get the med, if over, get the large, which is 2 inches longer. A split center and velcro tabs allow for a range of adjustment. Colors are Red, Blue, Purple, Green, Black, or Silver depending on what sil nylon we have in stock, we can't guarantee color choices.

Also handy as a ‘modesty kilt’ when doing laundry in a re-supply town.

Excellent Kilt (and Stylish in the Outback) Steve Boesen from Ankeny, IA United States I just returned from a 12-day, 75 mile excursion to Philmont Scout Ranch with my son and both of us used these kilts extensively. It rained every day except one for a lengthly period of time. These kilts are superior to pants for many reasons, but the biggest advantage is the they are so easy to take on and off. My comrades in the crew experienced greater problems getting their rainpants on/off. These kilts have an added bonus of being very warm, if you are wearing shorts. Excellent value and versatility. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful: Kale Scown from Sacramento, CA United States I just finished my thru hike of the PCT and carried this the entire way. After 2600 miles it became one of my favorite pieces of equipment. It is as well suited for a heavy rain storm as it is for a light drizzle and it really shines during those days in Washington when, even though it isn't currently raining, you are walking through overgrown, soaking wet brush (we call it the "hiker wash").

I never overheated in this like I have in rain pants and it goes on and off in a flash without even having to remove your pack (this is VERY important). Also, even though it is only held together by 3 velcro strips, not once did it come off me in wild wind storms. Many other hikers voiced their jealousy of it and those who I saw using it as well also touted it as a favorite piece of gear. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: Tormod Antonsen from Nesttun, Hordaland Norway This is such a simple and elegant idea. I walk in the central mountains of Norway like the Hardangervidda platou. Indeed quite wet and windy. Light windpants, Rain kilt and a light rainjacket is all I need all summer and most of the shoulder seasons as well. Before I got the rain kilt I used garbage bag. This looks better and holds up well.More people want them. I could easily make this myself and give out but buy here as a kudos to ula for thinking out of the box and putting it out there.
