<<Yes it does but my problem with a wool over dress or cloak is the wicking
factor.  if you're sloshing around the water wicks right up to your knees
and then nothing keeps you dry and warm.  The sweat pants can be hiked up a
little so as not to be subject to wicking.

That's odd, I don't find I have that problem.

In fact, usually the first time that I find out that the bottom few inches of my skirt are wet is when I hike them up to use the toilet (sorry if TMI)
I don't think I've ever had the water wick up as far as my knees; 4 inches at most.  Since I've got knee-high wool hose underneath, the wet skirts don't touch my skin when I'm walking or moving around.
