So true about the difference between water "resistent" and waterproof.  The coating on water resistent will eventually wear off.  

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Google search results:  

Fabrics marked waterproof will always repel water. They do not let water soak into them under any conditions, even if the fabric is old. These fabrics are mostly vinyl, vinyl-coated or laminated.

Fabrics that are water resistant have been treated to repel water from their surfaces, but if the coating is old or water is pooling on top of the fabric they can soak through.

I always buy "waterproof"  -  otherwise around here you would get drenched just walking a few blocks to the subway in a downpour.  

Both Totes slickers and LandsEnd rainwear are waterproof

This jacket is so worth the sale price.  Orginally $93 and now $47.18.  You can usually find rain resistant but this is waterproof which is much better for you to stay dry.  Detachable hood, zipped front pockets, adjustable wrist tab and when you jacket gets wet it shows a design in the same color.  The lime shows polka dots.  Sizing is normal with a little room to spare.  It zips up front but also have snaps incase you are in a hurry.  I purchased the lime color and it looks great with navy, charcoal gray, black, dark brown, even taupe or khaki.  The inside of the jacket is made so you won't be hot.  About 5 different colors.  A374732.  I will definitely check out their winter jackets/coats.
