No, water resistant and waterproof are not the same. Water resistant means that an object or material is able to resist some level of liquid penetration, while waterproof means no amount of water can penetrate.
Water resistance vs. waterproof:
• Waterproof materials do not allow any moisture to pass through them.
• Water resistant materials only prevent a certain degree of moisture from passing through them.
• Although both terms indicate protection from liquids, they have different meanings and applications in use cases such as clothing or electronics.
