The DWR finish is not a stated waterproof rating. If you need protection in wet conditions, check the level of water protection required rather than treating this finish as proof of waterproofing.
What to Compare Before Buying
- Fit and length: Check whether the regular fit and 7-inch style suit your preference, and consult the relevant sizing information when choosing a size.
- Abrasion figure: The 20,000+ value has no stated unit or test method here. Use it for comparison only if the other product’s figure is measured on the same basis.
- Weather protection: Consider whether the stated DWR finish meets your needs; no waterproof rating is given.
Before You Decide
Check your preferred fit and length, the sizing information, and whether the stated fabric finish and pocket arrangement match what you are looking for.
