2. Waterproof fabric - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterproof_fabric

   Drop of water on 100% polyester textile. Waterproof/breathable fabrics resist liquid water passing through, but allow water vapour to pass through.

3. Durable water repellent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durable_water_repellent

   Durable water repellents are commonly used in conjunction with waterproof breathable fabrics such as Gore-Tex to prevent the outer layer of fabric from becoming saturated with water. This saturation, called 'wetting out,' can reduce the garment's breathability (moisture transport through the breathable membrane) and let water through.

4. Breathability - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breathability

   While B-2 is a good test, it eliminates the effect of fabric when in direct contact with water. When sweat condenses on the inside of a fabric with a hydrophilic laminate, the lamination will actively pull the water through the fabric reducing condensation. This can be a tremendous addition to the comfort of the user.

   Water shoes are usually made of mesh and have a hard sole used to prevent cuts and abrasions when walking in wet, rocky environments.
