Pacific Northwest Packing tips
Dress in layers so you can change throughout the day as the weather changes
Multiple thin layers are better than one or two thick layers
Moisture-wicking/quick-drying fabrics are most effective in keeping you warm and dry
Make sure rain gear is made of waterproof fabric with waterproof taped seams
Waterproof rubber boots and/or hiking boots are recommended (we didn't take rubber boots)
