This is the 5th layer of the VKPO all season 8 layer clothing system, which is standard issue to the modern Russian military. This layer serves as a "shell" layer and keeps the insulation layers underneath from getting wet and dries quickly.  It also breaks the wind and protects the heat trapped by the underlying ventilation layers. This layer is highly water resistant but not completely waterproof. This is intentional.  It is made to be both water resistant and highly breathable, lightweight and compact. Choose your layers carefully and you can survive any weather you encounter whether hunting, fishing, camping, or working in your own backyard.
