A buddy of mine got some of the Bill Rodgers gear for backpacking. We got a chance to check it out on last weekends backpack trip. I included some pics too, for those that are interested!
As you can see, this clothing is about as lightweight as it gets. He was pretty comfortable in temps ranging from the upper 50's in the morning (with sunshine) up to the low 80's as the day progressed. The shorts were great, and have built-in underwear and a key holder. The built-in underwear saved him a few ounces of weight. The tank is mostly mesh, but had full nylon where you needed it most…. the nipples. Unguarded nipples=painful chaffing for sure! He saved enough weight he felt justified in bring his crocs as camp shoes. I can't say for sure that I'm sold, but definitely intrigued and curious. One thing he joked about was cutting the bottom third off of the tank to save a few grams! LOL!!!
