"Water resistant"-- is that less than water "proof"? We camp on a beach in Hawaii every summer-- don't need so much warmth as a way to keep our bags dry in a rain at night.

Water resistant is water resistant. It will hold up to most rain, but a heavy rain will eventually get through the material. If you just want water proof, go to a hardware store and buy a tarp or (if you want light weight) a clear plastic painter's drop cloth.Given the chance, rain will eventually penetrate any lightweight material including DWR & PTFE.
