I had a very windy hike (20-25 mph) at times with a meetup group Loop around the AT, Corbin Cabin and Stony Man for 15 miles (24 kms) with 3900 feet (1188 meters) elevation gain. I felt like naked (32f; 0c) when stepped out of the car on skyline drive! Two tricky stream crossings. I wore sunglasses to block the wind, not the sun. Anyway, I felt it was better than last Saturday cold rainy 15-mile 2500 feet elevation gain hike dragging my 2-lb wet hiking boots. No matter how good your rain gears and waterproof boots are, they get wet after 2-hour in the winter rain!
