There really isn’t much difference between these two rainwear coatings. PVC is short for polyvinyl chloride, while PU stands for polyurethane; however, both are considered to be waterproof but non-breathable rainwear coatings.

A. PVC stands for polyvinyl chloride and is found on most non-breathable rainwear that we carry. PU stands for polyurethane. Generally PVC is waterproof but not breathable, whereas PU can be both waterproof and breathable.
