What is the difference between showerproof and waterproof?
A. Any jacket deemed shower proof means the fabrics will repel water that approximates a drizzle for a reasonably short period of time. The big difference with water proof is that all the seams of the garment are sealed ( seam sealed) which eliminates the main access points to the body. As we all know, at retail there are many hi-tech water proof jackets available for many hundreds of dollars. We are very proud of our new HZ117 Techno Jacket released in this catalogue. Definitely water proof, we have even installed a hi-tech fully water proof front zipper and yet the jacket is only a fraction of the price you would expect to pay at retail.
