GearToon - DWR vs. Waterproof: There's a difference?



There's a difference between 'waterproof' and 'water resistant'? Yep. It's good to know which your jacket is BEFORE the downpour begins. Anything that claims to be 'breathable AND waterpoof' is fibbing just a little. If it's breathable, it'll likely begin to wet out (allow moisture in) at some point, but waterproof fabric will withstand water way, way longer than anything that is just treated to be water resistant.
