Waterproof

Is there any piece of clothing that is 100% waterproof?

What's the best waterproofing you have achieved?

No, there isn't. The best item is the moose cloak.

Water resistance works on an item by item basis. That's why you want to wear your best waterproofing parts on the outer layers, because they will take longer to get wet, and until they're completely wet the layer(s) under them will remain dry. So, given very inclement weather, you can find yourself in a situation where your legs are soaked but your torso is dry because you've got two pairs of jeans on and a moose cloak over a parka, over a sweater, over a shirt, and the moose hide cloak is only about 20% wet so everything else is still dry.

Wind protection works additively to give a total number that's used to decide your "Feels Like" temperature, by adding the wind-proofness of the outer-most layer of clothing. This means that a windbreaker under a simple parka will give you worse wind protection than the other way around; the wind protection value of the parka is what's being used to calculate your wind protection number, not the windbreaker.

Yes, that can be considered problematic when compared to reality, but as they say this is not the real life, this is just fantasy, caught in the landslide, no escape from reality... any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me.
