Keeps moisture out
Waterproofs are garments designed to keep water out—raincoats, anoraks, or other protective outer layers.
The term is chiefly British: Don't forget your waterproofs, it's meant to rain all day.
As a verb, to waterproof something is to make it resistant to water: We waterproofed the deck before winter.
