Waterproof

Waterproof refers to the quality of a material or object that is impervious to water, meaning it can resist or prevent the penetration of water under specified conditions. This characteristic is essential for items that need to maintain functionality and integrity in wet environments, such as clothing, watches, electronic devices, and outdoor gear. Waterproof products are designed to keep moisture out, protecting their internal components or contents from water damage. The effectiveness of waterproofing can vary based on the material, construction, and testing methods, often rated by specific standards that indicate how deep and for how long an item can be submerged in water without leaking.
