Hi - The Bionic Jacket is as water resistant as you will find in a softshell jacket, as the only place that water can get through is the seams (softshell jackets typically aren't seam sealed due to construction difficulties). You would need to be in a consistent downpour for a while before you would see any water get through this piece. If that is a problem, here are a couple of suggestions that are seam sealed and totally waterproof, if you are looking for more of a rain shell: -North Face Venture Jacket -North Face Stretch Diad Jacket (more technical lighter weight, more trim cut) -North Face Ella Rain Jacket (thought I would throw in a lifestyle rain jacket if you aren't looking for something technical) Hope this helps
