Courier gear for winter and rain: a list that pays off in week one
Bad weather means more orders — but only if you can ride without freezing. What’s really worth having.
In short
- Rain and frost bring more orders — the best time to earn.
- Layers instead of one thick jacket: thermal base, fleece, rain shell.
- A power bank and warm touchscreen gloves are the minimum.
01Winter checklist
A proven set:
- thermal underwear and a fleece
- rain jacket and trousers with reflectors
- touchscreen gloves + a spare pair
- a neck gaiter or balaclava under the helmet
- waterproof shoes or overshoes
- a power bank — phone batteries drain faster in the cold
02Your vehicle in winter
On a scooter check tyres and brakes more often; on a bike consider wider tyres and mudguards. Charge an e-bike battery indoors — it loses range in the cold.
03Bag and orders
Your thermal bag must be dry and clean inside. Drinks go upright, pizzas flat. In the rain protect the receipt and packaging — a wet bag is a common cause of low ratings.
?Questions
Are there really more orders in the rain?
Yes — people order instead of going out. A good time to work if you have the right gear.
