0 Showerproof clothing or material does not absorb water when it is raining lightly: --
This coat isn't waterproof, but it is showerproof.
These are also generally showerproof but will become soggy in heavy rain.
When the woman took the coat back she was told that the label described it as showerproof, and the shopkeeper argued that it was showerproof only for a light shower.
What does "showerproof" mean, particularly in this climate?
I remember sitting on a number of voluntary bodies trying to determine how to describe something like "showerproof"or"rainproof".
