# Do I really need wet weather gear?
## Staying dry and comfortable during Zodiac excursions and landings
*This Article Applies to Expeditions On Board the **Ocean Nova** and the **Ocean Victory***
Yes, appropriate wet weather gear is essential for expedition travel. All guests receive a complimentary 100% waterproof expedition jacket, but you are responsible for bringing your own waterproof pants (such as Gore-Tex or a similar material). These should be worn over your insulating layers to keep you warm and dry during Zodiac transfers and shore excursions.
Zodiac drivers may refuse disembarkation if your attire is deemed unsafe or unsuitable. Dressing properly helps ensure not only your comfort but also your safety in potentially wet and windy conditions.
