the rain is so miserable but it certainly has picked up sometimes laugh when see Mark Robinson in the storms and he's wearing his wet suit he's it's like he's going scuba diving but now I'm jealous of him your feet obviously wet right yeah they are do you have ring coat and all that to stay dry this season take note of these labels waterproof and waterresistant waterresistant material should be so tightly woven that water struggles to get through materials like polyester and lawn naturally withstand more water than cotton just because of their construction but water resistant jacket can only stand up to so much rain not let up am completely soaking wet after period of exposure or certain amount of pressure water will eventually seep through if you've ever been shopping for particular product and the manufacturer markets it as waterproof that product should be totally sealed and protected from the effects of water waterproof jackets will have taped seams and water proof Zips look for the advertised durable water repellent coating dwr is used on both water resistant and waterproof items the easiest way to explain what this coating does is to look at the surface of new rain coat when you see water droplets roll off you'll see water repellency in action definitely feeling chillier than it is and that's just because am damp right now water repellent properties don't last forever because it's applied to the fabric dwr will eventually wear all off the good news is you can spray on or wash in dwr reapply it and extend the life of any item if you don't plan on being outside for long period of time water resistant should do the trick but if you're facing strong elements for longer waterproof might be worth the investment it's just unbelievable
