Waterproof
Tested under a pouring rain condition (in the shower - literally!) the shell fabric can be safely called waterproof. Our jackets have 5000 mm waterproof rating. The higher a jacket’s waterproof rating, the longer the fabric will remain waterproof for.
This is where it fits in the waterproof department:
