This long, waterproof women’s jacket will serve you as well in town as out in nature, under light rain. What is water repellency? The fabric of this jacket is water repellent: it lets water slide over its surface without seeping in. In this way, the fabric doesn’t soak up water and stays light and breathable. The water-repellent property is achieved by treating the fabric's exterior: It doesn't use fluoride compounds. To what extent is this jacket waterproof?
