Is the Kor AirShell Hoody Waterproof?
No — the Kor AirShell is not a waterproof rain jacket. Its Pertex Quantum Air fabric is a wind-resistant, highly breathable air-permeable softshell that rebuffs light moisture and drizzle, but it will wet out in sustained rain. For rain, layer it under or over a hardshell; for wind, gusts, and light spits, it excels where rain jackets get clammy.
How Wind-Resistant Is Pertex Quantum Air?
Pertex Quantum Air cuts alpine gusts effectively while remaining air-permeable for exceptional breathability during high-output efforts — the sweet spot between a wind shirt and a full softshell.
