waterproof liner

Wet-resistant inner shell

A waterproof liner is a layer of material designed to prevent water from passing through—used in boots, jackets, bags, ponds, landfills, and countless other applications.

The liner sits between an outer surface and whatever needs protection from moisture: The waterproof liner in my hiking boots finally gave out.
