Which Jackets Are Actually Waterproof?

When it comes to team apparel, functionality matters just as much as style. If your team often trains or competes outdoors, a jacket that looks good but doesn’t hold up to the elements simply won’t cut it. That’s where waterproof jackets come into play — but with so many claims floating around, how do you really know which jackets are actually waterproof?

Let’s break it down — and if you're on the hunt for custom Team Track Jackets that blend performance, comfort, and design, we’ve got you covered.

Waterproof vs. Water-Resistant vs. Water-Repellent

First, let’s get the terms straight:

• Water-resistant jackets can handle light rain for a short period, but moisture will eventually seep through.

• Water-repellent jackets have a coating (often DWR - durable water repellent) that causes water to bead up and roll off. They’re better than water-resistant, but still not ideal in heavy rain.

• Waterproof jackets are built with sealed seams, waterproof membranes, and protective outer layers that stop water from getting in — period.

So, if you're gearing up your team for outdoor training, travel, or unpredictable weather conditions, waterproof is the gold standard.

Features to Look for in Truly Waterproof Jackets

Not all waterproof claims are created equal. Here’s what separates a solid team jacket from one that leaves you soaked:

1. Sealed or Taped Seams – Water can sneak in through stitch holes. Sealed seams stop that.

2. Waterproof Rating – Look for ratings above 5,000mm for light rain protection, and 10,000mm+ for serious weatherproofing.

3. Breathable Membranes – Jackets like those with Gore-Tex® or similar tech allow sweat vapor to escape while blocking rain.

4. Storm Flaps & Adjustable Cuffs – These prevent water from seeping through zippers or sleeve openings.

5. Quality Zippers – Waterproof zippers (or zipper covers) are a must for full protection.
