rainproofed
Treated against water
Rainproofed describes something that has been treated or made to resist rain.
A jacket may be rainproofed with a water-repellent coating; a tent rainproofed before a camping trip.
The term suggests an active process of protection rather than inherent water resistance: We rainproofed the deck furniture before the storm.
