When you’re racing through a storm, the force of rain hitting your body far exceeds that of standing still in a shower. Even though both jackets are labeled “waterproof,” the 5000 mm and 10000 mm models can leave the inner layer with completely different wetness after 20 minutes. This isn’t a numbers game; it’s physics. As a professional waterproof‑breathable gear brand, ON THE WAY uses a simple table to make the real‑world difference crystal clear.

"Waterproof" vs "Water-repellent": What's the Difference in Hardshell Jackets?
Many people assume that a hardshell jacket is completely waterproof just because it says "waterproof" on the label. However, after wearing it for a while, they find that the new jacket sheds rain easily, but the old one becomes wet and soggy. Is it because the jacket is broken? In fact, it's not. Waterproofing and water-repellency are two completely different concepts, and both require maintenance. As a professional waterproof and breathable gear brand, ON THE WAY helps you understand them thoroughly with a simple comparison.
