A true waterproof jacket is designed to stop water from getting in while allowing moisture to escape. Here’s what sets a waterproof jacket apart:
- Fully Taped Seams – Ensures no water leaks through the stitching.
- Waterproof Membrane – A special coating or laminate on the fabric blocks water while allowing breathability.
- Durable Water Repellent (DWR) Finish – Helps water bead up and roll off the fabric instead of soaking in.
Not all wet-weather jackets are the same. Here’s how waterproof and showerproof
jackets compare:
- Waterproof Jackets – Feature a waterproof membrane, fully taped seams, and a DWR finish for full protection.
- Showerproof Jackets – Have a DWR finish but no fully taped seams, meaning they offer protection against light rain but not heavy downpours.

- Breathable Membrane – Made with microscopic pores that let moisture escape but keep water out.
- Why It Matters – The more breathable a jacket is, the more comfortable you’ll be during active wear.
- Ventilation Features – Look for arm zips, vented panels, and eyelet holes to improve airflow and reduce condensation inside your jacket.
