Have to walk outside from a parking garage to the building. No way to stay dry except an umbrella and thats more hassle than its worth.

Ah, you have to deal with what I have to deal with. About a 1/4 mile walk from where I park, to the plant, with a brief break going through the security building. I bought myself a full set of rain gear, that I don in the truck on those days.

Yep. I just keep them in the truck. Otherwise, I get to walk around here soaking wet all day. Not very pleasant.

I've actually had a full set of clothes here for years. Especially during outages, never know when you may get yours contaminated, and lose them!!

Same here. Never hurts to have some essential supplies in the truck. You never know when you might get a breakdown (or contaminated)
