The HelioLite HD ripstop nylon shell is water repellent/resistant to normal condensation build-up. Nothing more, nothing less. It should not be considered to have the same properties as microfiber, Gore-Tex, or Gore Windstopper. It also has excellent breathability along with being durable & abrasion resistant.
