Nope, when you get them new (the DZ one anyway) they are somewhat water repellent, but that's about it. After time and use it fades anyway. The best thing is something like a Stealth Suit jacket underneath.

I do something similar with my S95 Goretex jacket underneath my ripstop jacket. Works wonders, keeps you dry and warm, AND leaves you access to all the pockets.
