rain repellent
Keeps moisture off
Rain repellent is a coating applied to surfaces—especially windshields and outdoor fabrics—that causes water to bead up and roll off rather than spread or soak in.
The term works as both noun and adjective: a rain repellent for your jacket, rain-repellent spray for glass.
Unlike waterproof materials, rain-repellent ones resist moisture without being completely impervious.
