anyone know if its waterproof? doesnt say anything on the label esxcept scotchbrite, but I ant believe that it doesnt make some attempt to resist rain.
suppose I could put it on and stand in the shower but thought Id ask here first

What Aldi gear in particular?
Their 2 piece oversuit that I had for years was completely waterproof .... until recently.
Their boots held out for a long time in downpours (probably less now my gear lever has warn a hole though the top layer.
Gloves ..... well not entirely waterproof.
As for the full textile stuff, I bet that's pretty good - at least for a few years
