How is that waterproof? I find that hard to believe.

Wool is naturally water resistant. It's an amazing material.

Yes, resistant. Not proof.

It's very tightly compacted wool that's been cooked or something, I'm not exactly sure I'll ask a coworker of mine who knows more about this tomorrow! Might also be called velt, not entirely sure

I’d call that water resistant, but that’s just me. Wool will still wet out after a while regardless of how compacted it is.
In any event I’d like to see how long it lasts in the rain! I bet it will manage for a while.

My apologies, English isn't my native language, but it does keep the water out! I've worn it for hours on end in a typical Dutch rain storm and it held up great!
