rain gear on sale

If you are looking for rain gear for the fall season there are two websites that have raingear regularly on sale. Sierra trading post and rei outlet . Quality equipment includes those made by Marmot ( the precip jacket is a good high value moderate cost jacket even @ full price), Northface, Patagonia, as well as others. If you have a question about a jacket let me know and I'll try to help you out (i used to do this for a living.) As for color, Black is always fashionable and it would be really cool if we all had matching color rainwear. Don't worry about breathablity too much with these jackets we won't be working out in them, they will be for when you are waiting to warm up before a race or after a race and you have cooled down. A moderately breathable garment will be fine.
If you are looking to buy locally Blue ridge mountain sports has always been a store with knowledgeable staff.

Rainpants are also a bonus. Again black is always in fashion and a full zip leg or at least a zipper that runs to the knee will aid in being able to get these on and off @ race time.
