Creative use of plastic baggies and rubber bands worked for me in the Army.
It's not pretty, but it is functional.
The problem with weatherproofing home-brew wearables is that it becomes
more of a hassle to customize your system the more element-proof it
becomes.

Subject: weather-proofing a wearable
I was walking my dog in the rain over the weekend and I thought.. Gee it
would really suck having to leave my wearable home everytime it rained,
or only wear it indoors, the best part about a wearable is that you can
wear it wherever you want to go. Has anyone tried to weatherize their
wearable to withstand a gentle rain, or snow? It seems like a good fanny
pack or back pack could protect the core cpu, etc. but how weather proof
is a twiddler or a HUD and how might you modify them to be weather
resistant?
