Abstract

The technology described herein relates to a three-layer outerwear garment panel comprising an outer layer, a middle membrane layer that is water resistant, and an inner layer. A water-repellant coating such as a durable water-repellant (DWR) coating is selectively applied to the outer layer, leaving areas of the outer layer free from the water-repellant coating. When precipitation hits the garment, the water is absorbed in the non-coated portions to reveal a pattern of shapes formed by the non-coated portions.
