vedenpitävällä

vedenpitävällä is a Finnish adjective meaning waterproof or watertight. It describes something that is impervious to water, preventing it from passing through. This quality is crucial in various applications where protection from moisture is essential.

In the context of clothing and gear, vedenpitävällä signifies that the material or construction will keep the wearer dry even in wet conditions, such as rain or snow. This is often achieved through specialized membranes, coatings, or tightly woven fabrics. For example, a vedenpitävällä jacket is designed to repel water.

Beyond apparel, the term applies to construction materials, electronics, and packaging. A waterproof sealant, for instance, is vedenpitävällä to prevent water leaks. Similarly, electronic devices labeled as vedenpitävällä can withstand submersion in water for a specified period and depth without sustaining damage. The effectiveness of being vedenpitävällä is usually measured by specific standards or ratings that indicate the level of protection offered. This ensures consumers can identify products that meet their needs for water resistance.
