- Breathability: Look for waterproof clothing that is also breathable to prevent sweating and discomfort during physical activity.
- Material: Look for waterproof fabrics like Aclima-Tex, Gore-Tex or similar synthetic materials that are breathable and allow sweat to escape. The range of Hydrowear “Simply No Sweat” waterproof clothing from Farm & Industrial Spares are ideal.

- Durability: Choose water-proof clothing that is made with quality materials and good construction, so it will last through multiple uses and washings.
- Fit: Make sure the clothing fits well and allows for ease of movement.
