    • Staff Answer

      Garmin rates the Garmin Catalyst R1 IP67 for dust and water, a rugged design built to withstand weather, heat, vibration and other track conditions. However, Garmin warns that adverse weather and wet racetracks may interfere with how the radar works.

      Do not rely on it alone in the wet. Always keep watching your mirrors and surroundings while you use the R1, especially in rain or on a damp track.
