Answer to: "Is this jacket insulated? And also, can it be used as a rain"

Mountain Hardwear Transition Softshell Jacket - Men's

April 24, 2010

Holds heat well, without an added insulation layer. Very breathable, not waterproof. Used best as a lightweight jacket for aerobic activity.

Answer to: "I'm looking for a boot that dries quickly after stream crossings"

Asolo Flame Gore-Tex Boot - Men's

April 24, 2010

I found that these dry pretty quickly. They do have GORE-TEX, so unless you're in water deep enough to spill in over the top, you should have no issues.
