Waterproof
taped seams, sealed seams, fully waterproof
Full water protection provided by waterproof membranes and taped or thermally sealed seams. Different from water repellency.
A waterproof garment does not merely shed water from the surface but prevents penetration even under sustained pressure. The technical key is taped or thermally sealed seams, which eliminate the needle-hole entry points for water.
True waterproofing requires three elements: a waterproof membrane or coating on the fabric (e.g. polyurethane, TPU), taped or sealed seams to close the joining points, and a waterproof closure where present. Across garments and accessories, full waterproofing is less common than the water-repellent style, but is found in specific outdoor and rain models. The critical distinction: water repellent = sheds light splashes; waterproof = certified impermeability even in heavy rain. Embroidery on waterproof fabrics is problematic because needle holes breach the membrane and reduce impermeability; DTF or heat-applied patch is preferred.
