Can you wear the Apex 2 in the rain or wet conditions?

Not Recommended for Use in Wet Conditions

Wearing the Apex in the rain, or other wet conditions is not recommended.

The Apex 2 exosuit was not designed for wet conditions. While the soft textiles that compose most of the exosuit can handle moisture without issues, the switch, cable, and clutch mechanisms in the current version are not water-resistant.

If it must be used in wet conditions, we recommend wearing a rain jacket over the upper body portion of the Apex 2 exosuit to cover the mechanical components on the back and shoulder areas to prevent them from getting wet.

Wearing the Apex 2 in wet conditions without rain gear can result in damage or accelerated wear and tear not covered under the product warranty.
