I know it says highly water resistant. What does that mean? Is it equivalent to waterproof ratings in any way? In more practical terms, if its raining out will i get through this jacket if im out for prolonged periods of time?

Soft-shell is highly breathable and water resistant. If you are in a down pour Seattle style after an hour you will be damp. In Utah we can wear soft-shell during a blizzard and never get wet. This soft-shell will be more waterproof than others because there are no stitched seams this is like a taped Gore-tex jacket but made from highly breathable soft-shell.
