Waterproof

 Reading those labels!!??

You

woman's coat; what is waterproof rating 3000mmH2O?

Copilot

A waterproof rating of 3000mmH2O means that the fabric can withstand a water column of 3000

 millimeters before water starts to penetrate. This rating is a measure of the material’s water resistance,

 often used in outdoor gear like rain jackets and tents.

For practical purposes, a 3000mmH2O rating is suitable for light to moderate rain. However, for heavy

 rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions, you might want to look for a higher rating, such as

 5000mmH2O or more1.

Are you looking for a specific type of coat or jacket? I can help you find some options!
