A little more info: the outer shell fabric of the jacket is made with Conduit SL. This is a fabric that utilizes Mountain Hardwear's proprietary waterproof/breathable laminate... Conduit. So, the fabric is waterproof but the construction of the jacket is not. We call it 'highly water resistant'. If you are looking for a waterproof down jacket... check out the Synchronicity Jacket or the Absolute Zero Jacket both from Mountain Hardwear. Hope this helps!

Down Jackets usually are not waterproof, rather they are water resistant meaning that they can stand up to a mist or light drizzle. Down turns to "pancake batter" in the rain and is useless when wet.
