James, the nylon is water-resistant but certainly not waterproof. These down jackets/sweaters are ideal for keeping warm in cold dry conditions. This jacket should however be windproof, as the down combined with the "polyamide" (or any synthetic shell-type material) will keep out the wind. If you're going to be using this in wet weather or while it's snowing make sure you have a shell to wear over it. Wet down is worthless so avoid the issue by rocking your shell if wetness is in the forecast.
