Since I had something to do with this thread earlier, I will say that I *do* 
have some warm clothes that I carry pretty much year round. Not that they 
get used in the Summer, generally, but when I need them in the Spring and 
Fall they are handy to have. Yeah, it makes sense to carry some jeans or 
coveralls, too, and maybe I'll have to add that to my little collection.
