Are these Textile jackets really water proof?
 
I have seen reviews that said they road in a down pour and stayed dry and others that said that they leaked some?

:stormy:

• 600 Denier Carbolex and 600 Denier Ballistic polyester shell.
• A waterproof and breathable Rainguard® barrier allows dryness without perspiration buildup.

In heavy enough rain any jacket will leak at the edges.. . What i want to know and i searched their website is the rainguard (C) on the outside or on the inside.. cus if it is on the inside eventually the outside will saturate and the jacket will weight 400kg! and drying it out will take days...

Ummmm.... Good question. I would like to know that myself. I would imagine that it is on the outside. If you find out let me know! ...cause besides weighing 400kg. after three days of rain it will probably begin to grow mold in warmer climates.
