Rain gear

Don’t be such an addle-pate, MyTrip. Don’t waste people’s time reading such a meaningless post.

You are cute when you talk tough on the interwebz

Maybe you should wear a hat next time it rains? It will keep your brain from getting soggy.

 

[bumped]

Get a UPS umbrella from the catalog.

Getting wet does not cause sickness. Do you also avoid bath tubs and swimming pools?

I was going to say the same thing. His grandmother (along with every other grandmother back in the day) told him he'd "catch pneumonia" if he went out in the rain. Haha.

Funny people think weather itself causes illness. They used to tell us we'd catch a cold if we didn't zipper our coat. It's hilarious.

It’s real easy to get hypothermic while being rained on with the temp at 37 degrees, genius. Next time just don’t join in the thread if you have nothing intelligent to add.

I wasn't making fun of you but rather old wives' tales.

We were talking about how weather doesn't directly make you sick. Hypothermia is a medical condition but isn't getting "sick" as in a viral/bacterial condition. Just as frost bite isn't a sickness. Cold's, the flu, pneumonia, etc. are caused by viruses not weather. That was the point.

What do most PC drivers do for rain gear? As far as I know we are only issued the winter coat and a windbreaker with optional vest. Neither of these are waterproof.

Northface rain coat. They offer a brown one that is as close to Pullman Brown you can get. 85 bucks

I do believe that not wearing a jacket per se does lower the immune system making it more susceptible to illness. There seems to be a study out every year or so cancelling each other out.

Whether that's true could be up for debate but the main reason why people get sick more often in colder weather is just a matter of viruses thriving better in colder temps.

Just keep honking someone will come out.

If I expect it I will wear my waterproof hiking boots otherwise I keep a spare set of socks in my bag.
Get a fresh roll of DR bags, they open up much faster.
The rain isnt much worse than 100 degree days.(rain is actually better)

 

[burrheadd]

Understood but that just doesn’t work on all days. What about the days where it just rains all day?

Lol

How about an umbrella

Multiple brown hooded sweathshirts so when one gets too soaked just change it out

 

[DriverNerd]

I wear a rain jacket I found on amazon. 13 bucks or so. Black. I put it on when I'm on route if I need to. If it's a light rain I stick with the windbreaker.

Wear a hat. I'm in the northwest. We don't use rain gear.

I don’t know that I have ever worn a jacket at work just because of the rain.

This time of the year no rain gear is needed. We have helpers !

 

[Babagounj]

I put one on my driver seat & back rest too .. really helps ..

We called them seat condoms.

We called them seat condoms.

I thought I was only one who did this. Too funny

Never order your size in UPS Shirts, I was an XL , but wore 4XL. Plenty of room to have your skin breathe in warm days and plenty of room to wear some winter clothes under for cooler days. I also drove with both doors open on warm days and only closed the passenger door on cold days. Kept sups from taking a second ride-along with me.
