Is the Verto pitched as a windproof or a waterproof?

This advertorial leaves it a little unclear for me i.e. 'The Verto Jacket - very light but completely windproof and with a hood too' and 'Unlike most ultra-lightweight waterproofs, it comes complete with an ergonomic, elasticated hood and cuffs and has a single pocket which doubles as a stuff sack'

There are many windproofs that are water resistant for a bit but wouldn't qualify as a waterproof. Does the Verto?

Sorry, the Verto's very definitely a windproof. I'll edit the text so it's clearn, my mistake. The fabric's basically a superlightweight version of Pertex Quantum, so completely windproof but with limitied water resistance.

Thanks for clarifying that John. So no advance really on a patty houdini or similar PHD offerings in terms of weight for performance, despite using super duper 'new' light material.
