Is a nylon jacket wind proof?
It usually is, if the nylon is tightly woven, regardless of whether or not it has an additional coating (usually of polyvinylchoride or polyurethane) to make the garment waterproof or water resistant. It is the tightness of the fabric construction (weaving or knitting) which determines wind resistance. Note that nylon by itself (i.e. uncoated) is NOT water resistant at all---nylon (polyamide) actually absorbs water and the fibers weaken, whereas cotton INCREASES in strength when it becomes wet. In theory, you could have a loosely knit or woven nylon fabric---e.g., a mesh or pique knit---which is NOT wind resistant at all.
