I once went deep into the forest on a large network of fire roads, riding my street legal dirt bike. No big deal, I had a smart phone with offline maps and two methods to charge it!
Then the the crazy rain and wind came. Soaked the phone (2015 era cheaper android). Soaked the charge port and even the back cover in general. Phone powered off.
I was soaked. And very cold. And had to navigate from memory at several turns that I hadn't even been paying attention at (who does when they have nav!). I was so cold I had to stop several times and warm up my hands by holding my soaked gloves against my exhaust system and almost steaming the gloves warm for a few minutes.
I'm a lot more careful now.
