They're not "Gore Tex" brand, but they are plenty waterproof using North Face's own brand treatment. After all, it's all the same chemistry right? Mine held water out solid for one heavy use season. I treated them with waterproofing at the beginning of the next year (my yearly ritual), so not sure if it was needed or not, but I always do.
