Protection Specification
Water Resistance Is Not the Same as Waterproofing
DWR / Water Repellency
A surface finish helps water bead but does not by itself make a garment waterproof.
Waterproof Barrier
A suitable coating or membrane provides the primary barrier and requires a defined test target.
Seams & Openings
Seam tape, zippers, hoods, cuffs and vents influence whole-garment protection.
Waterproof and breathability claims should only be used when materials, construction and agreed testing support them.

Outerwear Development Workflow
01
Define Use
Confirm climate, activity, layer and protection target.
02
Select System
Align fabric, membrane, lining, trims and seams.
03
Develop Pattern
Plan fit, layering allowance, hood and mobility.
04
Make Sample
Build the agreed development sample.
05
Review
Check fit, closures, details and specified tests.

Buyer Questions
Sports Outerwear Manufacturing FAQ
Can a DWR finish make a jacket waterproof?
No. DWR helps water bead on the face. Waterproof performance normally relies on a coating or membrane plus suitable seam and opening construction.
Do all rain shells require full seam taping?
The seam-sealing route depends on the protection target and construction. Full, critical or no seam tape must be specified accurately.
Can you develop from a tech pack or reference?
Yes. We can support pattern, materials, trims, sample and private label development from a tech pack, sketch or reference sample.
What is the MOQ?
Some cut-and-sew styles may start around 100 pieces per SKU, but laminates, custom fabrics, insulation, seam tape and hardware often increase minimums.
What should I send for a quotation?
Send the product type, climate and protection target, design, fabric preference, lining/insulation, size range, trims, branding, quantity and delivery date.
