What is a "waterproof"?

Waterproof jackets are designed to prevent water from penetrating through the fabric and reaching the wearer's skin, providing protection from rain, snow, and other wet weather conditions. Waterproof jackets are typically made of materials such as Gore-Tex or other waterproof membranes that are laminated to the outer layer of the fabric, preventing water from passing through while still allowing moisture to escape. Waterproof jackets can come in various styles, such as rain jackets, ski jackets, or outdoor jackets, and may include additional features such as hoods, adjustable cuffs, and zippered pockets. Waterproof jackets are essential for outdoor activities in wet or damp weather, as well as for everyday wear in rainy climates.
