The Lectro M150's that we ship with UHF transmitters as "proof" mics
are waterproof in that you can put them in a glass of water and they
will work just fine when back in air. If a bead of water forms on the
screen, however, it has to be removed to allow the passage of sound.
If water is forcefully driven into the mic it will penetrate the
screen with bad results. I mention this not to brag, but if you have
some of these mics laying around, they can be used in wet situations
where you might not want to expose an expensive mic to the elelments.

Although, the Countryman and DPA mics are water proof, it doesn't mean that
rain drops or a drop of sweat will not sit on top of the element and sound
terrible. I would suggest mounting the mic facing down. This way drops will
not be able to sit on top of the mic grid.

Moleskin works incredibly well. You just have to keep apologizing when you're
done, removing it.

I've had different experience with moleskin applied directly to skin
that then begins to sweat profusely. More specifically, I've found it
doesn't hold well at all after a couple of hours on sweaty folk.
Combine that with rain and with the bouncing and jouncing of someone
running for a long stretch and I start to shudder as I picture the
poor little fallen lav bouncing along the pavement behind the runner.
Transpore tape is even worse, in my experience. I'd suggest using
something like the smallest, narrowest ace bandage you can find to
secure the mic and cable in place, if it won't drive the runner crazy.
