Hi,

I've recently found out that, when you wear a raincoat, it keeps your upperbody dry as it is water resistant, but the thing is, no other cloth you wear gets wet as well. Bandana, hat, shoes, pants, they all remain dry even if you stay under rain for hours.

Any other clothing (apart from military gears, as I've never tried those) make other clothing react as they should. For example, when I wear bomber jacket, the jacket remains dry under rain, but my boonie hat, pants, gloves and shoes get wet as they should.

I don't believe that's a feature of raincoat as it's not logical at all. I want to know if you know about this and working on water proof pants, shoes and any other clothing as well.

Confirm it also for Gorka camo-wear. If you wear Gorka jacket (with or without pants) - nothing gets wet until you are swimming, if you wear only Gorka pants - you are soaking wet.

However, rain now is hell of a problem if you don't have waterproof upper clothing - which are only Gorka and Raincoat right now. Even clothings that look like waterproof (Bomber jacket, Quilted jacket, Boonie hat, military boots) are not so.
And if they will really add weight affecting stamina and run, AND ADDITIONALY weight inreasing with wet items... I'm afraid that the rain servers could become unplayable for anyone who is not fully waterproof.

Hello BluesAdam and thank you for the report.
Currently this is as designed, the mechanic is still being worked upon.
