The finished Tyvek hooded rain jacket is extra long and weighs just 5.25 ounces. The chaps weigh 2.6 ounces. You may get some comments about the white color (like “where did you park your space ship?”), but it is actually quite functional because it stays cooler compared to a dark color.

Neat idea: Jacket =149 grams; Chaps = 74 grams: http://gossamergear.com/wp/tip-of-the-week-make-a-hooded-tyvek-rain-jacket-and-chaps-for-under-10  Youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39chVyur8Lg

      I have just reposted this Kristine – I did not make them myself. I have just made a better piece of rain gear of my own design which I will be posting detailed instructions about very soon. A 7 x7 Poncho Tarp. Stay tuned.
