Rain jackets come with either a water-resistant or waterproof and breathable construction—and it's important to learn the difference between these two properties.
Water-resistant rain jackets do not prevent rain from penetrating the material, but they significantly delay seepage. These jackets are best for running errands or performing activities that require minimal exposure to the rain. Your water-resistant jacket is crafted from a woven, soft-shell yarn to offer a lightweight, breathable feel and more natural mobility.
Waterproof rain jackets lock out moisture for total protection in the rain. These jackets are treated with a variety of laminates and coatings to prevent water from penetrating the fabric. Breathability and comfort levels vary greatly between materials and jacket constructions, so consult product information when making your selection.
