What is some good, but inexpensive rain gear for outdoor activities?


I need some good inexpensive (no more than 0- 0 each) rain gear. I do a lot of outdoor activities during the spring and summer, so I need something that will keep me dry. Even if I’m outside for several hours, or in more than a light rain. I will need footwear, jacket and pants. I used to have a gore-tex jacket and really liked it; but don’t mind what it is as long as it keeps my dry. It needs to be light, breathable, and easy to move around it.

Any suggestions on brands and where to go? I plan to check out REI, but any other ideas?

What is the strongest/most durable cassette on the market today?


Two months back, I bought a new mountain bike, a Trek 3500 7-speed hardtail. To my surprise, my 7th gear cog cracked while I was riding yesterday. Now the entire cassette is loose. I can’t believe I actually managed to crack a cog on a virtually brand new bike with less than 500 miles on it! This bike has never been ridden in the rain and has primarily been used for commuting. I’ve owned trek bikes for over 10 years now and it feels like the quality has really gone downhill. I guess that’s what happens when even high-end bikes are made in China.

Well needless to say, I’m thinking about just scrapping the entire cassette and getting a new one. I really don’t care about how many speeds it has. Honestly, I probably use only 4 out of my 7 gears anyways. I just need something strong that wont crack like glass. Are there any companies out there that make cassettes with thicker, more durable cogs?
