Water makes outdoor work more challenging and uncomfortable, whether it's when it's raining or when it's dry outside. To maintain optimal physical and mental health, stay dry. Find out six strategies for remaining dry when working in damp environments.

1. Put on a Hi-Vis Jacket

Rain coats with increased visibility and moisture resistance are a good idea. The reflective tape will make you shine brightly when a light source, such headlights, shines on the fabric, and the bright material will help you stand out from your background setting.

A rain jacket with an adjustable hood and waterproof covering is what you need. Storm flaps shield the zippers and fasteners of the jacket to keep water from penetrating beneath them.

2. Wear layers of clothing

Dress in layers, taking into account the predicted temperatures for the duration of your workday. When condensation accumulates on the inside surface of a rain jacket due to body heat, you risk becoming wet inside it. To avoid condensation inside the rain jacket when working in colder weather, think about donning a polyester fleece mid-layer.

3. Use Gloves That Are Waterproof

Another strategy to stay dry when working in damp settings is to use waterproof gloves. Not only will these gloves shield your hands from moisture, but they also offer a non-slip grip.

High dexterity waterproof gloves improve hand comfort and movement. Additionally, palm padding can offer outstanding durability and vibration absorption.

4. Put on Waterproof Boots

Your workday can be greatly ruined by wet feet. For comfort and safety, put on cushioning socks and waterproof boots. The non-slip outsoles of waterproof boots help you be more stable in muddy environments.

5. Take into Account Boot Gaiters

Water, dirt, and debris can seep into your waterproof boots; however, gaiters shield the tops of your shoes from these elements. The choices for a gaiter include from over the ankle to up to the mid-calf and knees.

6. Put on some Eyewear

If you're working in the rain and the water is getting in your eyes, think about using goggles. Whether the goggles are being worn as personal protective equipment or to protect against rain, they should have an anti-fog treatment on the lenses to preserve visibility.
