How Waterproof Jacket Is Better Than Water Resistant Jacket
 

This jacket has a membrane interior and a waterproof coating on the exterior fabric. Because its tiny openings are too small for water to pass through, a membrane lining helps with breathability.
 

Waterproof Jacket vs Water Resistant:
 

Any cloth between you and falling rain will keep some water from reaching your skin, making it at least partially water-resistant. Many coats advertise water resistance as a feature. A light rain shouldn't damage a jacket's exterior surface unless it's cotton. If you're out in the rain for a long period or the rain intensifies, you'll become wet.
 

Waterproof Is The Most Rainproof:
 

• If you want a rainproof garment, you need considerable technology. Jacket makers try countless
       outward-facing textiles and high-tech laminates or coatings in layered structures to make
       waterproof fabrics.
   
• Lab results define waterproof fabric as water-resistant. There's no industry standard for this rating,
       so you have to believe a brand's assertion that cloth is waterproof. You can believe the
       certification if you trust the brand, but you can't compare "waterproofness" between brands.
