Rain kilt

Bag type: Shelter.

A rain kilt for the trail: one rectangle of waterproof fabric wrapped round the hips over your trousers, from the waist to below the knee, the outer end over the inner by the overlap and held by a hook-and-loop strip down it (and, if you like, a snap at the hem). Elastic or a drawcord with a cord lock in a channel at the waist; the other edges hemmed, or left raw on a fabric that does not fray.
