What you need when packrafting is a dry suite; not only for comfort but as a life insurance. In Patagonia weather is volatile and water temperatures are normally low. If you get wet then hypothermia can disable and kill quickly and only a dry suite protects you in such situations. The extra weight of a dry suite is not that much if you replace your normal rain gear with it. And a dry suite is so much better than rain gear, also when hiking. It really keeps you dry and warm even when fording glacier rivers. No rain gear does this.
